Glinka method

In: Notch effect


The Glinka method allows a conversion of fictitious wholly elastic stress values obtained from a FEM to “real” elastic-plastic values. It is in close relation to Neuber method (here more information can be found). It relates the equivalent strain energy density for both states the elastic fictitious one as well the real elastic-plastic one:

The equality thus has a bit more of physical foundation in comparison to Neuber method.



The integration utilizing Ramberg-Osgood relation of the cyclic stress-strain curve than gives:

,

which in turn can be rewritten to:

,

if the parameters of the Basquin-Manson-Coffin curve are used. This is the form implemented in PragTic. The unknown stress parameter is retrieved by Newton-Raphson iterative method.

The method is usable for uniaxial calculations only, since it relates scalar values.
