Unifying Monotonic and Hysteresis Material Properties for Notch Plasticity Analysis under Variable Amplitude Loads

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study was performed in support of accurate notch plasticity analysis under variable amplitude loads. Monotonic and cyclic strain-controlled tests were performed on flat dog-bone coupons machined from 6.35mm thick 7075-T651 aluminium alloy plates. The tests with low-high-low strain amplitude transitions revealed both an instant softening following the high strain amplitude cycle and a gradual recovery during the subsequent low strain amplitude cycles. The transition from monotonic-like to hysteresis-like material behaviour was found to be consistent with an overload induced softening and recovery process. A conceptual consideration is thus proposed to unify the characterisation of monotonic and hysteresis material properties. The implications of the present finding on notch plasticity analysis are also discussed.
