To assess the reliability and the scope of applicability of the defining relations of
mechanics of damaged media (MDM) [1,2], plastic deformation and damage accumulation
processes in a number of structural steels under low-cycle loading have been numerically
investigated, and the obtained numerical results have been compared with the data from fullscale experiments. It is shown that the introduced MDM model qualitatively and
quantitatively describes the main effects of plastic deformation and damage accumulation
processes in structural alloys under block-type non-stationary non-symmetric low-cycle
loading.
Keywords: low-cycle fatigue, plastic deformation, damage degree, block-type loading, mechanics of damaged media, modeling, numerical and full-scale experiment |
