A model of large-strain cyclic plasticity describing the Bauschinger effect and workhardening stagnation

Abstract This paper presents a constitutive model that has a high capability of describing the deformation behavior of large-strain cyclic plasticity and also the stress–strain responses at small-scale re-yielding after large prestrain. A new equation of backstress evolution is proposed for an accurate simulation of the transient Bauschinger effect. Furthermore, an original idea of a non-isotropic-hardening surface defined in the stress space is presented for the description of the workhardening stagnation appearing under reverse deformation, as well as the strain-range and mean-strain dependencies of cyclic hardening characteristics. The validity of this model is confirmed by comparing the cyclic stress–strain responses calculated by the model with the experimental observations on some steel sheets and an aluminum sheet.
