Material Nonlinearity
This type of nonlinearity arises when the material exhibits non-linear stress-strain relationship.Recall that for linear elastic FE analysis the only stress-strain relationship was defined via
modulus of elasticity, E. Now, in the case of non-linear material analysis, the modulus of
elasticity is only the first definition point of an overall behavior. The typical definition andanalysis in the non-linear material domain involves one of post-yield (plastic) behavior. Typical
elasto-plastic material characteristic under tension is shown in figure 1. The unloading line
determines the residual (plastic) strain remaining in the system.
Note that figure 1 also represents a structure which exhibits a softening behavior after yielding.
The numerical solution of this type of non-linear problem involves approximating the non-linearsegment of stress-strain curve with a series of piece-wise linear segments. Each linear segment
is approximated by a tangent modulus (ET) which is computed as the ratio of stress over strain
for that particular line segment (see figure below).

For a complete FE analysis three important concepts must be well understood. The first one is
the Yield Criterion. It determines how the applied stresses (on the component) are related to the
yield strength specified in FE study, and determines the onset of yielding. The most commonlyused criterion is the von Mises (or octahedral shear) theory. Therefore, when the von Mises stress
reaches the yield strength, the component is assumed to have yielded, and the plastic regime
begins. Other yield criteria include Tresca (Maximum shear stress theory) andDrucker-Prager(Coulomb-Mohr theory).
The second concept relates the progression of yielding in the plastic domain. This is referred toas theflow rule. The most commonly used is the Prandtl-Reuss relation which relates the strain
increments to the stress increments of the common metals.
The final concept describes the mechanism for the growth of the yield surface. It is called the
hardening rule. It determines how the yield point changes as a result of accumulation of plastic
strain, and depends on the type of material. Metals are usually in the category described by
kinematic hardening. There are a variety of kinematic hardening rules (see I-DEAS hardening
rule section). The isotropic hardening rule assumes the center of yield region remains stationaryin the stress space while the size of yield surface expands as a result of strain hardening. This
theory is best suited for problems in which the plastic strain is considerably more than the onsetof yield, such as manufacturing processes (forming, cold working) and large motion dynamic
problems.

Overview of the I-DEAS Hardening Rules for Plasticity Models
Select hardening rules in the physical property tables for the elements. The following hardeningoptions are available:
Isotropic hardening (option 0) Prager kinematic hardening (option 1) Ziegler-Prager kinematic hardening (option 2) Prager combined hardening (option 3) Ziegler-Prager combined hardening (option 4)
Isotropic Hardening
When you select isotropic hardening, the software uses a piece-wise linear stress-strain curve.The isotropic hardening assumption isn't very realistic for most materials subjected to cyclic
loading. However, it's relatively simple and efficient.
Isotropic hardening assumes that the yield surface expands uniformly as a result of plastic
straining. This assumption is achieved by making the yield stress a function of the integrated
effective plastic strain increments, which for a von Mises material is:
The slope of the stress plastic strain curve, Ep, is called the plastic modulus. It can be obtained
from the uniaxial stress-strain curve and is defined by:
For a von Mises material, the effective stress is given by:

Kinematic Hardening
When you select kinematic hardening, the software assumes a bilinear stress-strain curve. If the
material database contains a multilinear representation, only the yield point and the tangent
modulus of the first segment beyond it are used to characterize the stress-strain behavior.
Kinematic hardening assumes that the yield surface translates in the stress space but doesn't
change size or shape. The yield stress, y, doesn't change, but the back stress, ij, is a function ofplastic straining.
Prager hardening and Ziegler-Prager hardening are the two most widely used models forkinematic hardening.
Prager Kinematic Hardening
The Prager kinematic hardening model assumes that, during plastic deformation, the back stress
increment is in the same direction as the plastic strain increment.
The constant c can be obtained from the uniaxial stress-strain curve and is related to the plastic
modulus, Ep.
Inconsistencies arise in Prager's model for certain stress subspaces such as plane stress. The
assumption of yield surface translation only in the stress space is violated. Prager's model is,
therefore, not recommended for plane stress, shell, beam, or rod elements.
Ziegler-Prager Kinematic Hardening
The Ziegler-Prager kinematic hardening model assumes that the back stress increment is in the
direction of the stress minus the back stress.
The factor, d , depends on the plastic strain history.
If a kinematic hardening model is required, the Ziegler-Prager model is recommended over the
Prager model.

Prager and Ziegler-Prager Combined Kinematic Isotropic Hardening
When you select combined kinematic isotropic hardening, the software assumes a bilinear stress-
strain curve. If the material database contains a multilinear representation, only the yield point
and the tangent modulus of the first segment beyond it are used to characterize the stress-strain
behavior.
You must also enter the combined hardening parameter M, through the I-DEAS Material DataSystem.
Combined hardening assumes that the yield surface both expands and translates in the stressspace. The plastic strain increment is composed of two components shown in the following
equations:
Where
The reduced effective plastic strain associated with isotropic hardening is related to the effective
plastic strain by the following:
The back stress increment for Prager combined hardening is:
The back stress increment for Ziegler-Prager hardening is:
