Forces acting on a Body – Body Forces

Body Forces: The forces which act at a distance on the internal particles of
a continuous medium
Examples: gravitational force, inertial forces, magnetic attraction forces
Forces acting on a Body – Surface Forces

Surface Forces: The forces which act on the boundary of the material
volume considered. They can be regarded as produced by the contact actions
of the particles located in the boundary of the medium with the exterior of
this medium.
Examples: gravitational force, inertial forces, magnetic attraction forces
Traction Vector

❑ The traction vector remains unchanged for all surfaces

passing through the point P and having the same normal
vector n at P
❑ The traction vectors acting at point P on opposite sides of the
same surface are equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction.
Cartesian Stress Components
• Surface traction changes according to the direction of the
surface.
• Impossible to store stress information for all directions.
• Let’s store surface traction parallel to the three coordinate
directions.
• Surface traction in other directions can be calculated from
them.

special set of axes (principal axes of stress or principal stress
directions) so that the shear stress components vanish when the
stress components are referred to this system.
❑ The three planes perpendicular to the principal axes are the
principal planes.

Principal Directions
• There are three cases for principal directions:
1. σ1, σ2, and σ3 are distinct  principal directions are three unique
mutually orthogonal unit vectors.
2. σ1 = σ2 and σ3 are distinct  n3 is a unique principal direction, and
any two orthogonal directions on the plane that is perpendicular to n3
are principal directions.
3. σ1 = σ2 = σ3 =-P = σH  any three orthogonal directions are principal
directions. This state of stress corresponds to a hydrostatic
pressure.

❑ Physical significance of
compatibility condition - the
separate particles of the body
must deform under load in
such a way that they fit
together after deformation
❑ Explained through jig-saw
analogy – The deformation of
the puzzle should follow the
following
(i) The forces on any given
piece (including
external forces if any)
must be in equilibrium.
(ii) The deformed pieces
must be the right shape
to fit together to make
the deformed puzzle

Idealized Stress – Strain Curves

Rigid material is one which has no strain

regardless of the applied stress. This idealization
is useful in studying the gross motions and forces
on machine parts to provide for adequate power
and for resistance to wear.

Linearly elastic material is one in which the

strain is proportional to the stress. This
idealization is useful when we are designing for
small deformations, for stiffness, or to prevent
fatigue or fracture in brittle structures.

Perfectly plastic material is one in which

elastic and time-dependent deformations are
neglected. If the stress is released, the
deformation remains. Strain-hardening may be
neglected
Idealized Stress – Strain Curves
Rigid plastic material is one in which elastic
and time-dependent deformations are neglected.
If the stress is released, the deformation
remains. Strain hardening is assumed. Such
idealizations are useful in designing structures
for their maximum loads

Elastic-perfectly plastic material is one

which both elastic and plastic strains are present;
strain-hardening may is assumed to be
negligible. This idealization is useful in designing
against moderate deformations

Elastic-plastic material is one which both

elastic and plastic strains are present; strain-
hardening is substantial. This idealization is

𝑛 is the strain hardening component and constant 𝐾 is called
the strength coefficient

❑ Elastic region – strains are determined from the stresses

from generalized Hooke’s law
❑ Plastic region – strains cannot be uniquely determined from
stresses but depends on the entire history of loading
❑ In plasticity, it is necessary to determine the differential or
increments of plastic strains throughout the loading path
Plastic Stress – Strain Theories

plastic strain increments
❑ Deformation or total strain theories – relate the
stresses to integral of the plastic strains over the path of
plastic deformation

Yield Criterion
❑ Analysis of metal forming processes requires knowledge of
the yield criterion, work hardening and stress-strain relations
❑ Yield conditions are functions of stresses

❑ For a simple tensile in case of uniaxial state of stress, the yield

condition is given as 𝝈𝟏𝟏 − 𝝈𝟎 ≥ 𝟎 where 𝜎0 is the yield
strength of the material in tension or compression

❑ For multi axial state of 𝜎𝑖𝑗 = 𝜎𝐻 𝛿𝑖𝑗 + 𝜎𝑖𝑗′

stress, the yield
condition as some 1
function may be written 𝜎𝐻 = 𝜎11 + 𝜎22 + 𝜎33

Yield Criterion

❑ A yield criterion is a hypothesis defining the limit of elasticity

in a material and the onset of plastic deformation under any
possible combination of stresses.
❑ Yield function is a function of the invariants of the deviator
part of the stress tensor
❑ Valid for isotropic metallic materials
❑ Let 𝐼1′ , 𝐼2′ , 𝐼3′ be the three invariants of the components of the
deviator part of the stress tensor
𝑭 𝑰′𝟏 , 𝑰′𝟐 , 𝑰′𝟑 = 𝟎

𝐼1′ = 0, 𝑭 𝑰′𝟐 , 𝑰′𝟑 = 𝟎

𝐹 𝐼2′ , 𝐼3′ = 𝐴 + 𝐵𝐼2′ + 𝐶𝐼3′ + 𝐷 𝐼3′ 2 + 𝐸 𝐼2′ 𝐼3′ + ⋯ = 0

A, B, C, D, E, … are constants
Yield Criterion
Von-Mises’ Yield Criterion
❑ Von-Mises proposed that yielding would occur when the
second invariant of the stress deviator would exceed some
critical value

properties

Principal Stress Space
A purely hydrostatic stress σ1 = σ2 = σ3=σH will
lie along the vector [111] in principal stress
space. For any point on this line, there can be
no yielding, since in metals, it is found
experimentally that hydrostatic stress does not
induce plastic deformation
Suppose σ1 > σ2 > σ3, then the largest difference Hydrostatic line
between principal stresses is given by (σ1 – σ3).
If yielding occurs when σ1 = Y, σ2 = σ3 = 0,
then (σ1 – σ3) = Y.
For yield in pure shear at some shear
stress k, when referred to the principal
stress state we could have
𝜎1 = 𝑘, 𝜎2 = 0, 𝜎3 = −𝑘 ⇒ 𝑌 = 2𝑘
The Tresca criterion is (σ1 – σ3) = Y = 2k.
Yield Surface

❑ A yield surface is a two-dimensional area for 2D state of

stress and a 3D surface for 3D state of stress
❑ It is usually convex and the state of stress of inside the yield
surface is elastic
❑ When the stress state lies on the surface the material is said
to have reached its yield point and the material is said to
have become plastic.
❑ Further deformation of the material causes the stress state to
remain on the yield surface, even though the shape and size
of the surface may change as the plastic deformation evolves.
❑ The yield surface is usually expressed in terms of a three-
dimensional principal stress space (𝜎1 , 𝜎2 , 𝜎3 ), a two- or
three-dimensional space spanned by stress invariants
Biaxial Yield Surface
For plane stress, let the principal
stresses be σ1 and σ2, with σ3 = 0.
𝜎33 = 𝜎13 = 𝜎23 = 0
The second invariant of the
deviatoric stress is

Coordinate transformation

The equation in x-y coordinate is

As it can be seen from the equation, the semi-
major and the semi-minor axes of the yield
curve are 2𝜎𝑦 and 2/3𝜎𝑦 respectively
Biaxial Yield Surface
The Tresca yield surface is an irregular
hexagon and the von Mises yield surface is an
ellipse. The ratio of the length of the major
and minor axes of this ellipse is √3: 1.
In the quadrant where 𝜎1 > 0 and 𝜎2 > 0, the
Tresca yield surface is a square.
To see this, first suppose 𝜎1 > 𝜎2 for
example. Since 𝜎3 < 𝜎2 , yield occurs on the
Tresca criterion when 𝜎1 − 𝜎3 = 𝑌 i.e.,
for 𝜎1 = 𝑌 because 𝜎3 = 0 . When 𝜎1 = 𝜎2 ,
yield occurs at 𝜎1 = 𝜎2 = Y. Similarly,
for 𝜎1 > 𝜎2 in this quadrant, yield occurs
when 𝜎2 = Y.
The shape of the Tresca yield surface in the quadrant where 𝜎1 > 0 and
𝜎2 < 0 is a straight line because the third principal stress 𝜎3 will be the
intermediate principal stress. Hence in this quadrant the yield criterion
becomes |𝜎1 − 𝜎2 | = 𝑌
whence the straight line linking (-1,0) to (0,1) in the diagram. The shape of
the Tresca yield surface in the remaining two quadrants follows similarly.
Triaxial Yield Surface
❑ It shows a bounding surface
in a 3-D principal stress
coordinate system where the
von Mises stress is a
constant value. (This is the
so called High-Westerguard
Space.)
❑ It is based on the fact that
any stress state can be
converted into its principal
values and compared to this
sketch.
❑ If the resulting principal
stress point in the
coordinate system is within
the cylinder, then the
material has not yielded.
❑ If it is on the surface, then the material has yielded. And if it is outside the
cylinder, it means that you did an elastic analysis of a situation that cannot
in fact be correct because yielding would have long since taken place.

Experimental Verification of Yield Surface
❑ In the uniaxial tensile test, the
condition for the beginning of
plastic flow was described by the
yield strength, giving the axial
normal component of stress at
which practically important
plastic deformation was
observed.
❑ When several components of
stress are present, yielding must
depend on some particular
combination of these
components.
❑ Experiments have been carried
out thin-walled tubes with
various amounts of axial load
applied to determine under what
combinations of these two
normal components of stress the
material will yield.
Experimental Verification of Yield Surface
Strain Hardening
In the elastic range the force-displacement behavior for most
engineering materials is linear. After passing the elastic limit the
material “gives” and is said to undergo plastic flow. Further
increases in load are usually required to maintain the plastic
flow and an increase in displacement; this phenomenon is
known as work-hardening or strain-hardening.
Strain Hardening
The true stress-strain
can be approximated by
a power law expression
𝜎 = 𝐾𝜀 𝑛
𝑛 is the strain hardening
component and
constant 𝐾 is called the
strength coefficient

Strain Hardening Constants
Work Hardening Rules – Isotropic Hardening

❑ The yield strength increases equally in all directions

❑ The yield surface expands uniformly in the radial direction
❑ The extent or magnitude of work hardening is generally
related to plastic work done or the total strain suffered by the
material
Work Hardening Rules – Kinematic Hardening

❑ The yield surface remains the same shape and size. It is rigid
transformation
❑ The entire yield surface transforms in the direction of the
strain vector
❑ The extend of shift is related to the magnitude of the strain
suffered
Bauschinger Effect
If one takes a virgin sample and
loads it in tension into the plastic
range, and then unloads it and
continues on into compression, one
finds that the yield stress in
compression is not the same as the
yield strength in tension, as it
would have been if the specimen
had not first been loaded in tension.
In fact the yield point in this case
will be significantly less than the
corresponding yield stress in
tension. This reduction in yield
stress is known as the
Bauschinger effect.
Bauschinger Effect
The lowering of the yield
stress in reversed loading is
mainly caused by residual
stresses that are left in the
specimen on a microscopic
scale due to the different
stress states in the individual
crystals. The Bauschinger
effect can, therefore, be
largely removed by a mild
annealing. In the theory of
plasticity, it is generally
necessary to neglect the
Bauschinger effect, the
material being assumed to
have identical yield stresses
in tension and compression
irrespective of the previous
cold-work.
