Exponential Isotropic Hardening Model

The kinematic hardening is not defined in this model.

Theory

The isotropic hardening backbone function is defined as

\[ \sigma=\sigma_y+a-ae^{-b\varepsilon_p}+cE\varepsilon_p, \]

where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are three constants that control the shape of the backbone. The stiffness at the beginning of yielding is \(\sigma'|_{\varepsilon_p=0}=ab+cE\).

It can be identified that

  1. \(a\) represents the saturation stress.
  2. \(b\) controls the rate of saturation.
  3. \(c\) represents the linear hardening ratio (w.r.t. plastic strain).
