Inelastic behavior and destruction of materials under isothermal and non-isothermal, simple and complex loads

The paper deals with mathematical modeling of inelastic behavior and destruction of structural materials (steels and alloys) under simple, complex, isothermal and non-isothermal loads in repeated and long-term exposures to thermomechanical loads. The modeling is carried out on the basis of the applied theory of inelasticity, which belongs to the class of flow theories in combined hardening. The main provisions are formulated and a summary of the main equations of the applied theory of inelasticity is given. The material functions closing the applied theory of inelasticity are determined, and the connection of the defining functions with the material ones is given. Further, the results of some original experimental studies are considered, which are compared with the results of calculations based on the applied theory of inelasticity. In all studies, inelastic deformation is performed under conditions repeated and long-term exposures to thermomechanical loads. Inelastic deformation of AL-25 aluminum alloy samples under uniaxial tension-compression under both isothermal and non-isothermal cyclic loading is considered. Inelastic deformation under complex loading along the two-link polyline deformation paths with different deformation rates under high temperature conditions is studied on tubular 30HGSA alloy samples. Inelastic deformation of tubular stainless steel 304 samples under complex loading at elevated temperatures is considered. Soft cyclic loading is performed along two-link stress trajectories with different fracture angles. At the end of the links of the stress trajectory, exposure is carried out for 8 hours. The results of the calculations based on various theories used in the calculations are analyzed. Inelastic deformation and destruction of samples made of 12X18N9 stainless steel under rigid cyclic deformation under both isothermal and non-isothermal loads is considered. The duration of the loading cycle is 4 minutes, which allowed the effects of healing and embrittlement to appear at a high temperature. There is a significant difference (much higher) in the number of cycles to failure in common-phase and anti-phase modes of changes in force strain and temperature.
