Abstract

Based on the assumption that the material was isotropic and even, and satisfied the condition of isotropic hardening for a von Mises material, finite-incremental and total-strain theories were derived for solid circularsection torsion-tension members subjected to nonproportionate loading. Torsion-tension members made of SAE 1045 steel and aluminum alloy 7075-T6 were subjected to proportionate and nonproportionate loading. During the nonproportionate loading, either the axial loal P or torque T was held constant while the other was increased. Excellent agreement was found between the incremental theory and experimental data indicating that the assumption of isotropic hardening is valid for this type of loading. For some of the nonproportionate loading paths, incremental and total-strain theories gave nearly identical results.
