Abstract
A method of analyzing plastic behavior by use of an anisotropic hardening plastic potential is proposed. The plastic potential surface in deviatoric stress space is assumed to be the same as the equi-plastic-strain surface. Stress-strain relations in combined loading and in multi-axial cyclic loading are calculated by use of the anisotropic hardening plastic potential and the normality rule of the plastic strain increment vector to the plastic potential surface, which are experimentally determined or confirmed by subjecting thinwalled tubular test specimens of 60 40 brass to combined axial load, internal pressure and torsion. The calculated results agree fairly well with the experimental observations.
