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.
