Abstract
From these experimental results, a cyclic constitutive model is developed and implemented to describe the cyclic behaviour of 316L-A including the hardening/softening and the strain range memory effect. First, a nonlinear kinematic hardening rule is proposed based on the classical decomposed Armstrong and Frederick's description, by introducing a kinematic hardening coefficient Ï to incorporate the hardening/softening effect in the back stress. Second, a functional relation between the kinematic hardening coefficient Ï and the accumulated plastic strain is established according to the analysis of cyclic hardening/softening behaviour. The strain range memory effect is considered by incorporating the effect of the memory surface in the parameters of the kinematic hardening coefficient Ï. An identification procedure is developed to determine all the material parameters of the cyclic constitutive model. With the constitutive model implemented, a series of strain controlled cyclic simulations are performed using a cycle jumping method. The comparison between the modelling and the experimental results indicates that the developed cyclic constitutive model is efficient to precisely describe the cyclic behaviour of the 316L-A steel in the LCF regime.
