Title: Generalized plasticity models
Post by: double on March 19, 2019, 01:43:22 AM

Dear FEAPers,

I am trying to duplicate the numerical example of the paper:

@article{AURICCHIO199565,
title = "Two material models for cyclic plasticity: Nonlinear kinematic hardening and generalized plasticity",
journal = "International Journal of Plasticity",
volume = "11",
number = "1",
pages = "65 - 98",
year = "1995",
issn = "0749-6419",
doi = "https://doi.org/10.1016/0749-6419(94)00039-5",
url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0749641994000395",
author = "F. Auricchio and R.L. Taylor",}

with Generalized plasticity models in feap84.  However I have some troubles in setting the material parameter, because the result always shows elastic response.

Could anyone help me with the input file? Thanks!

Did you look at the material properties in the output file?

One suggestion is to use TPLOt to $output the appropriate stress in the loading direction?  Look at the values and compare to the yield stress.

It is always a good idea to leave an INTEractive just before the STOP so you can look more at the problem.
