Hardening rule

 

Hardening rule predicts the change in the yield surface due to plastic strains. Two hardening rules can be formulated:

      Isotropic hardening: Bauschinger effect is ignored but the elastic range expands.

      Kinematic hardening: Bauschniger effect is included but elastic range remains constant.

 

Isotropic hardening can be represented by the plastic work per unit volume Wp thus:

 

p_58_image005

(140)

                                             

Kinematic hardening is given by vector determining the translation of the yield surface in general stress state.
