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.
