Power hardening model
The power hardening cyclic stress-strain equation used in the durability solver can be written as:
| if | ||
|---|---|---|
| if |
where
is the stress amplitude.
is the strain amplitude.
νe is Poisson's ratio.
r is the stress biaxial ratio.
E is the modulus of elasticity.
n is the strain hardening coefficient material property.
H is the cyclic strength coefficient material property.
σ0 is the cyclic yield strength given by the following equation:
