Studies on the experimental and simulated cyclic-plastic response of structural mild steels

Experimental investigations have been conducted on the cyclic-plastic response of a structural mild steel (Grade YST210) under varying strain amplitudes (εa) under symmetric strain-controlled cycling. The results on the investigated YST210 steel and the reported results on four similar grades of steels (E250A, Q235, SS400, and GR345 steel) under symmetric strain-controlled cyclic loading are analyzed using a suggested approach based on Chaboche...
