Levy–Mises flow rule

• Deviatoric stress components, together with the hydrostatic components, make up the actual stress state.

• As the hydrostatic stress is unlikely to influence deformation in a solid that deforms at constant volume, it
may be said that it is the deviatoric components that will be the ones associated with the shape change. This
is the hypothesis of the Levy–Mises Flow Rule.

• This states that the ratio of the strain increments will be the same as the ratio of the deviatoric
stresses

We know that,
If a material element is deforming in a plane stress, proportional process, then above eqn can be integrated
and expressed in terms of the true strains,

Relation between the stress and strain ratios

From the above, we get relations between stress ratio and strain ratio.

NOTE:
• It may be seen that while the flow rule gives the relation between the stress and strain ratios, it does not
indicate the magnitude of the strains.

• If the element deforms under a given stress state (i.e. α is known) the ratio of the strains can be found from
above equations.

EXAMPLE:

The current flow stress of a material element is 300 MPa. In a deformation process, the principal strain
increments are 0.012 and 0.007 in the 1 and 2 directions respectively. Determine the principal stresses
associated with this in a plane stress process.

Work hardening hypothesis

WE KNOW THAT,

• At a particular instant in a plane stress process where the flow stress, σf, was known, the stresses and the ratio
of the strain increments for a small deformation could be determined.

• To model a process we need to be able to follow the deformation along the given loading path as the flow
stress changes.

• Clearly we would need to know the strain hardening characteristic of the material as determined by the true
stress–strain curve in the tensile test.

It has been found by experiment that the flow stress increases in any process according to the
amount of plastic work done during this process; i.e. in two different processes, if the work done
in each is the same, the flow stress at the end of each process will be the same regardless of the
stress path. This statement is only true for monotonic processes.

According to work hardening hypothesis, the flow stress at the end of the process is given by the
tensile test curve (above fig) when an equal amount of work has been done – when the sum of the
areas in above figure is equal to the area under the tensile test curve
