Abstract

This paper focuses on calibrating and modeling of distortional hardening behaviours in twinning induced plasticity steels. True stress-strain curves for uniaxial tension, plane strain tension, and pure shear specimens are inversely identified from corresponding load-displacement curves. The study reveals that accurately predicting the hardening behaviours of TWIP980 steel under plane strain tension and pure shear stress states is challenging with an isotropic hardening model, and a negative hydrostatic effect for TWIP980 is observed through shear testing. A novel distortional hardening model is proposed to simultaneously accommodate the three stress states on the contours of plastic work. Coefficients of the distortional hardening model are calibrated at discrete levels of plastic work and then interpolated to describe the distortion of the initial yield surface. The model is then expanded to consider the true stress-strain curves under uniaxial tension along 0, 45 and 90-degree directions, as well as under the plane strain tension along the 0-degree direction simultaneously. This expansion explicitly incorporates the three true stress-strain curves under uniaxial tension, with the curve of plane strain tension captured by an evolutionary exponent related to plastic work. The developed distortional hardening models demonstrate reasonable reproduction of load-displacement curves for TWIP980 steel under uniaxial tension, plane strain tension, and pure shear stress states.
