Multiaxial ratcheting is a failure mode of structures characterized by the accumulation of plastic strain due to cyclic loading. Despite several models having been developed to predict multiaxial ratcheting, they often fail when validated with experimental data collected under a wide array of loading conditions. In this study, an experimental setup was developed and an autonomous testing procedure was used to experimentally analyze the evolution of the yield surface shape due to cyclic biaxial loading. Thin-walled tubular test specimens were made of 304L steel with a diameter of 40mm and underwent axial-torsional testing using the Instron 8852 system. The total axial strain was increased from 0 to 1% while the total shear strain underwent 5 cycles with the strain amplitude of 0.5% and the mean strain of 0.5%. Three yield surfaces were measured after the straining sequence was completed. Results showed strong directional distortional hardening and good agreement between the flow vectors and the normals to the yield surface, lending support to the associative flow rule.

Development of phenomenological plasticity models, hardening rules, and plasticity theories relies on experimental data of plastic straining. The experimental data are usually measured as the stress–strain response of the material being loaded and do not provide any clues or information about the local response of\nmaterial. In this paper, we analyze the plastic deformation of the material using the acoustic emission method and current state-of-the-art neural network models such as the InceptionTime architecture.
Use of advanced kinematic hardening rules for prediction of multiaxial ratcheting
Klepač, Vilém ; Parma, Slavomír ; Feigenbaum, H. P. ; Marek, René ; Plešek, Jiří ; Svárovský, Jiří
The cumulation of plastic deformation due to cyclic loading, so called ratcheting, is considered as critical process for purpose of simulation. For this reason, many of advanced models of plasticity have been developed to capture the evolution of material during the load reversals. Historically, these models are based on concept of multicomponent back-stress, that provides the prediction of phenomenon of kinematic hardening (KH) [Chaboche 1979]. The key for accurate prediction is, besides well designed model, identification of model parameters. To present results on prediction of multiaxial ratcheting by FEA, the multicomponent Armstrong-Frederick with a threshold with r Modification was implemented via the UMAT interface of Abaqus Standart. Model parameters were identified on experimental data presented in [Hassan, Kyriakides 1992] and [Hassan et. al. 1992]. To prove the performance of the model subroutine, other numerical examples will be presented and their computational costs will be discussed.
Development of autonomous experimental setup to investigate directional distortional hardening under biaxial loading

Plastic deformations alter the shape of the yield surface in the stress space. Models for predicting the shape of the yield surface according to the direction of loading are being developed. Experimental data are the key factor in development and validation of phenomenological models, such as the model of directional distortional hardening cited in this study. The objective of this paper is to present the experimental setup for investigation of the directional distortional hardening. A new autonomous method was developed using an axial-torsional testing machine and the Labivew 2017 graphical programming environment to monitor the yield surface in axial stress – shear stress space. A suitable yield condition in form of effective plastic strain was used for the determination of the yield points. Initial yield surface obtained by this method shows promising agreement with von Mises model of the yield surface. Several outstanding yield points were measured which disrupt the assumption of the yield surface convexity. Therefore, possible shortcomings caused by the methodology are being investigated.
An experimental investigation of yield surfaces anisotropies
Štefan, Jan ; Parma, Slavomír ; Marek, René ; Plešek, Jiří ; Feigenbaum, H. P. ; Ciocanel, C.
This contribution is dedicated to a rigorous experimental procedure for evaluation of yield surfaces of common metallic materials. This yield surface tracing procedure employs thin-walled tubular specimens to identify individual yield points of the material under arbitrary combinations of axial load and torque. A yield point is identified on the basis of a prescribed threshold for the effective plastic strain that is being continuously and fully automatically evaluated throughout the test. The experimental results generated with this tracing method are promising, leading to shapes of the yield surfaces conform with the von Mises criterion. The proposed methodology can effectively capture the YS shape.

Gabriel, Dušan ; Masák, Jan ; Plešek, Jiří ; Kloc, Luboš ; Dymáček, Petr
A complex creep constitutive model including transient effects was implemented in the finite element code PMD (Package for Machine Design). The material model for P-91-type creep-resistant steel together with computer implementation was verified by means of uniaxial stress loadings. Testing bar was discretized by the finite element method (FEM) and loaded with uniaxial stresses and constant temperatures that were used to demonstrate the analytical solutions in original paper.

Kolman, Radek ; Kopačka, Ján ; Gonzalez, J. ; Gabriel, Dušan ; Cho, S.S. ; Plešek, Jiří ; Park, K.C.
In this paper, a recent progress in explicit finite element analysis is discussed. Properties and behaviour of classical explicit time integration in finite element analysis of elastic wave propagation and contact-impact problems based on penalty method in contact-impact problems are summarized. Further, stability properties of explicit time scheme and the penalty method as well as existence of spurious oscillations in transient dynamics are mentioned. The novel and recent improving and progress in explicit analysis based on a local time integration with pullback interpolation for different local stable time step sizes, bipenalty stabilization for enforcing of contact constrains with preserving of stability limit for contact-free problems and using a direct inversion of mass matrix are presented. Properties of the employed methods are shown for one-dimensional cases of wave propagation and contact-impact problems.
Computational time reversal method based on finite element method: influence of temperature
Mračko, Michal ; Kolman, Radek ; Kober, Jan ; Převorovský, Zdeněk ; Plešek, Jiří
Time reversal method is used to focus elastic waves to the location of the original source and reconstruct its source time function. The procedure consists of two steps: Frontal task and Reversal task. In the Frontal task, the medium is excited by an arbitrary source, elastic waves propagate through a body of interest and the dynamic response at few points on boundary is recorded. In the second step (say the Reversal task) the response signal is reversed in time and transmitted back into the medium resulting in focusing in the original source location. It is of practical importance to investigate a case when the medium changes its properties between the frontal and reversal wave propagation steps. An example is a problem of transferring experimentally recorded data to a computational model, where discrepancies in geometry, elastic properties and boundary conditions are expected. Our motivation is to develop a methodology for computation of time reversal problems in commercial finite element software. The results prove that this method is extremely sensitive to the change of temperature and one have to pay special attention to tuning of elastic parameters relevant to the\nexperiment.
Development, assessment and verification of finite element procedures for contact problems
Gabriel, Dušan ; Kopačka, Ján ; Masák, Jan ; Plešek, Jiří
A frictionless three-dimensional contact algorithm based on the pre-discretization penalty formulation was proposed. The algorithm proved to be robust, accurate and symmetry preserving—no master/slave surfaces have been introduced. It was implemented in the finite element code PMD (Package for Machine Design) for the solution of complex engineering problems. The capability of the algorithm was demonstrated in creep analysis of T-piece of the steam distributor of the CHEMOPETROL heating plant T200. Material properties were described by the probabilistic exponential model with damage. The purpose of the analysis was to compare the original version and the proposed design modification applied to one of T-pieces of the distributor when the proposed contact algorithm was employed to simulate the interaction between the collar and the pipe.
On finite element modelling in time reversal problems
Mračko, Michal ; Kober, Jan ; Kolman, Radek ; Převorovský, Zdeněk ; Plešek, Jiří ; Masák, Jan ; Kruisová, Alena
In this paper we analyse suitability and accuracy of computational techniques in time reversal applications based on finite element method (FEM) for detection and localization of defects, cracks or other acoustic emission sources in bodies and structures. As it is known, a classical explicit integration scheme - central difference is reversible. The central difference scheme as a time integrator is widely used for linear and nonlinear finite element analyses and it is also implemented in commercial and open-source finite element software. In the paper properties of the explicit FEM in time reversal problems are studied and analysed. We use the standard Galerkin FEM formulation with linear shape functions, one-point Gauss integration and lumped mass matrix. Loading by the Ricker pulse was applied for modelling of the acoustic source in an elastic square domain. A special attention is paid to the choice of boundary conditions in reverse problem which keep the reversibility of problems of interest. Finally, we show the quality of refocusing of the original acoustic source.
