Dissipative Energy Based Description for Hardening and Its Application to Non-proportional Cyclic Plasticity

The heterogeneous nature of metallic materials result in residual microstress fields during plastic deformation.The energy stored in the residual microstress fields affects the subsequent plastic deformation. Based on this concept, a nonclassical constitutive model is developed. On the other hand, it is found that there exists difference of dissipative plastic energy between different plastic strain paths. A dissipative plastic energy based hardening parameter is proposed and introduced into the hardening function, which isthen embedded in the non-classical constitutive model. The stress responses of 304 stainless steel subjected to biaxial non-proportional loading are analyzed and the results coincide well with the experimental results.
