… Isotropic Hardening<br />
Training Manual<br />
• Plotting the stress-strain curve enables an understanding of what<br />
occurs during a loading and reverse loading cycle:<br />

<br />
Note that the subsequent<br />
yield in compression is<br />
equal to the highest stress<br />
attained during the tensile<br />
phase.<br />
Isotropic hardening is often<br />
used for large strain or<br />
proportional loading<br />
simulations. It is usually<br />
not applicable for cyclic<br />
loading.<br />
