1. Use the axi_tension.inp to go through all the analyses presented above
Type of load: uniaxial
Type of body: cylinder
Dimensions: it was taken a surface of 1X1 mm
Number of elements: 16
Material properties: Elastic & plastic
Strains:
Elastic

1 p=0.0 @ 200 MPa
2 p=0.01@ 300 MPa
3 p=0.03@ 400 MPa
Type of element: Continuum, axisymetric, 4 noded element
CAX4
Type of material: Aluminium
Properties:
E= 70,000 MPa
n=0.33
Boundaries: Left and Bottom

1. Normal Stress:

As the coordinate axes are defined as:

1=x
2=y
Only there is an axial load in the axe 2
S11 = 0

S22 =?

S= P/At
S it is not known
However we know the plastic strains at different stages

There is not thermal expansion

The plastic strains depend on the load level according to the following range:

Here it is shown some verification calculations:

In this case the 22 (abaqus) does not match with handmade calculation
The value of 22 plastic is estimated (guessed)
On the other hand, the equivalent plastic strain in axe 2 is:

Finally we can see that the Von Mises Stress is:

CONCLUSION: As the Yield Stress is around 200 MPa, the material is indeed being deformed
plastically
THE
2. Then, try the plane strain case (element type CPE4), instead of

axisymmetriccase. Result is in the stress-strain figure. Note that for plane

strain, cross section area is no longer w2. It is w times unit depth.

In this case the section has been changed from circular to squared, On the other hand the
element type has also been changed to CPEA4 from CAX4. It was made the change in the
axi_tension.inp however the code does not run, it caused several errors. I understand that I
should do other changes in the algorithm.
