AFCO1D

This is an extension of ArmstrongFrederick1D model.

The name represents the following.

  • AF --- Armstrong-Frederick type kinematic hardening rule

  • CO --- Chaboche-Ohno type isotropic hardening reduction rule

Theory

Compared to ArmstrongFrederick1D, this AFCO1D model further adopts the concept of a non-hardening plastic strain region. It is described by the following surface.

h=εpθrh=|\varepsilon^p-\theta|-r

In which, θ\theta points to the centre of the non-hardening plastic strain region. It may be called the back plastic strain. The field rr describes the size of this surface. It is further used to introduce a reduction term in the isotropic hardening.

σy=σi+Kq+σs(1emsq)σr(1emrr).\sigma^y=\sigma^i+Kq+\sigma^s\left(1-e^{-m^sq}\right)-\sigma^r\left(1-e^{-m^rr}\right).

Further details can be found in the corresponding section in Constitutive Modelling Cookbook.

Syntax

Examples

With a perfectly plastic response, the ArmstrongFrederick1D presents a non-degrading envelop.

The cyclic response is the following.

no degradation

By introducing the reduction, one can obtain the following.

with degradation
