Abstract

In this paper, results from an elastic-plastic finite-element model incorporating the Bodner-Partom model of nonlinear time-dependent material behavior are presented. The parameters in the constitutive model are computed from a leastsquare fit to experimental data obtained from uniaxial stress-strain and creep tests at 650°C. The finite element model of a double-notched specimen is employed to determine the value of the elastic-plastic strain and is compared to experimental data. The constitutive model parameters evaluated in this paper are found to be in good agreement with those obtained by the other investigators. However, the parameters determined by the numerical technique tend to give response that agree with the data better than do graphically determined parameters previously used. The calculated elastic-plastic strain from the model agreed well with the experimental strain.
