摘要

This manuscript presents a multi-yield surface model to idealize the mechanical behavior of viscoplastic solids subjected to cyclic loading. The multi-yield surface model incorporates the evolution of nonlinear viscoplastic flow through a piece-wise linear hardening approximation. A kinematic hardening law is employed to account for the evolution of backstress with respect to the viscoplastic strain rate. The new backstress evolution strategy is proposed to ensure that all yield surfaces remain consistent (i.e., satisfying collinearity) throughout the viscoplastic process. The multi-yield surface model is coupled with viscoelasticity to approximate the relaxation behavior of high-temperature metal alloys. The model is implemented using a mixed finite element approach. The capabilities of the proposed approach are demonstrated using experiments conducted on a high-temperature titanium alloy (Ti-6242S) subjected to static, cyclic, and relaxation conditions.
