Abstract

Before studying on ultra-low-cycle fatigue problems, one has to first understand cyclic plasticity of metal. For ductile fracture under ultra-low-cycle fatigue loading, the corresponding plastic strain level is much larger than conventional engineering problems, where extremely large plastic strain is of concern. In this chapter, a number of classical rate-independent cyclic plasticity models for metal are investigated. Formations and limitations of the plasticity models are introduced. A modified Yoshida–Uemori model is proposed to solve the aforementioned limitations. In addition, a method to calibrate the plasticity model parameters is also proposed, where only tension coupon test results are required. Experimental tests on several specimens are conducted, and applicability of the models is compared. Applicability of the aforementioned models to pre-strained structural steel is also investigated.
