Bauschinger ANSYS combin Element
Bauschinger ANSYS combin Element
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anybody in here ever captured the Bauschinger effects with spring elements in ANSYS APDL.
I have applied a cyclic loading on a uniaxial spring (with steel properties) and trying to mimic possible strain hardening/softening
I have tried Combin39 alone or with Chaboche material properties but did not manage to make it work
Please help
Thanks

RE: Bauschinger ANSYS combin Element
to observe a Bauschinger effect. For that you need plasticity.
If you model with a spring element in parallel with a frictional slider
you will get something like Bauschinger's stress-strain loops.
