SUMMARY
THE SUBSEQUENT yield surfaces after prestraining along various loading paths or by cold rolling
were determined with cross-shaped specimens of brass plate. The shape of the subsequent yield
surface and the correlation between the change of the stress increments and that of the plastic
strain increments for a zigzag loading path were discussed with reference to the shape of stress-
strain diagram. The experimental values of the yield surfaces of the cold-rolled brass plate were
compared with the calculated values by Don’s theory.

Figure 1 shows the biaxial tensile testing machine. With four jacks in this machine
the desired biaxial stress state can be obtained in the central part of the cross-
shaped flat specimen. The capacity of the machine is 5 ton and the stroke 100 mm.
The load is produced by introducing the pressurized-oil from one pump (1) into
two jacks (2) which face each other. This load is transmitted to the crosshead
(3) and the chuck (5) for the specimen (7) through the load cell (4). To keep the
centre of the specimen at that of the machine, the equi-displacement mechanism (6)
of pantographtype is attached to the crossheads, and a slip between the specimen
and the chuck is prevented by the binding bolts.
Figure 2 shows a typical example of the biaxial tensile specimen. The specimen
consists of one cross-shaped body and eight plates to reinforce its four arms.
When the authors tried to establish this testing method, the following points
came into question:

Besides, the strains were measured by the rosette type strain gauges (YRS-5
of T.M.L. Co.) attached to the upper and lower surfaces in the centre of the
specimen.
3. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
3.1 Loading path for the prestrain
As the basic loading paths for the prestram, the following three types may be
considered for the case of two-dimensional tensile stress space.
376 E. SHIBATORIand K. IKEGAMI
The preloading type I is the loading along the path of constant stress like OS
in Fig. 5. Type II is the loading along the path of variable stress ratios like
OSsS” in Fig. 5. Type III is the loading which is composed of the reloading along
the different path from that for the initial prestrain like 0 -+ PI + Pl’l in Fig. 5.
Resides the experiments of these three preloading types, the yield condition of cold
rolled plate is studied, too.

4. EXPERIMENTALRESULTS
4.1Shape of the subsequent yield surfbee
In this experiment the specimens were made of brass plate (BsPS - &H according
to Japanese standards), 1 mm thick, and the yield point was defined as the stress
corresponding to the value of the plastic strain of 0.02 per cent. The specimens
were prestressed along the paths of three preloading types previously described,
and the change of the subsequent yield surface due to the amount and direction of
preloading was studied systematically.
In the preloading type 1, preloading paths were taken along OP (uy/u2 = 0),
OQ (uy/az = 4) and OS (gy/uz = 1) in Fig. 5. In the preloading type III, those
were OQ,Q” and OS&‘s. in the same figure, where Q. and S, were the intersections
of the initial yield surface and the paths of the constant stress ratio of uU/uz = 1,
respectively. The direction of Q,,Q” was parallel to u~/u, = co, and that of S&3
was perpendicular to us/u2 = 1. In the preloading type III, two second preloading
paths along OPw (cg/uz = co) and OPl’l ( a, /CT% = 1) were taken after the first
uniaxial prestrain along the path of ~,/a, = 0 in Fig. 5. Some experimental
results are shown in Figs. 6-12. In these figures the prestressed points are indicated
as Pe, Qe, St, Q”g, S’a, Pmi and P$‘r (i = 1, 2, 3 . . .). The yield surfaces after
prestraining are named the lst, 2nd, Srd, and 4th subsequent yield surfaces accord-
ing to the amount of the prestrain.
The initial yield surface approximately coincided with the Mises condition as
shown in Fig. 6.
In Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 of the preloading type I, and in Fig. 12 of the preloading
type III, a corner* was observed on the subsequent yield surface. But, even in
these preloading types, the corner could not be found clearly for the case of the
uniaxial prestrain as shown in Fig. 6 of the preloading type I and in Fig. 11 of the
preloading type III. In the preloading type II, the existence of the corner was
not clear as seen in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. In these figures, only the prestressed points

If
FIG. 12. Subsequent yield surfaces for the preloading path OPlk
seemed to protrude from their subsequent yield surfaces and this tendency became
clearer according to the increase of the amount of the prestrain like Q”, Qa” and
Q”s in Fig. 9, or like Sr” and Se” in Fig. 10.
Hence the existence of the corner may be considered to depend on the direction
of the path for the prestrain.
In relation to the results shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the following problems
come into question: namely, which point should be chosen as the yield point in
the close vicinity of the prestressed point, the prestressed point itself or the yield
point newly determined by reloading. Moreover, the latter point may be affected
by the reloading path.
These problems were experimentally studied in the following procedures.
The same path as that in prestraining may be considered as the most basic
one to check the first problem. In adopting this path, the difference between the
prestressed and newly determined yield point is considered to depend on the
stress-strain diagram in unloading and that in reloading. Figure 13 (a) and (b) show a
typical results of their stress-strain diagrams along the path OQOQ and OQoQ”
in Fig. 5. As shown in Fig. 13 (a), the stress-strain diagram in unloading and that
in reloading coincide with each other, and the newly determined yield point K’
and the prestressed point K have approximately the same value in the preloading
type I (and in the preloading type III, too), while there is a little difference between
these two stress-strain diagrams, namely, the newly determined yield point J’
is a little lower than the prestressed point J in the preloading type II.
The second problem is studied by comparing the yield surface or point determined
by two different reloading paths, such as the path of constant stress ratio and that
of combined uniaxial tension. Typical experiments results are shown in Fig. 10
and Fig. 14. In these figures the preloading paths are OS&?’ and OQ in Fig. 5,
respectively. In the preloading type I the two yield surfaces determined by the
paths of constant stress ratio and combined uniaxial tension approximately
coincide with each other, and the prestressed point also lies on these surfaces as
shown in Fig. 14. The same results was obtained in the preloading type III. But,
in the preloading type II, the prestressed point does not coincide with the yield
point newly determined by the different path from that prestraining as shown in
Fig. 10. In this figure the point S’s” indicates the prestressed point along the path
of OS# in Fig. 5. The points &r” and Szsn are the yield points determined with
the paths of combined uniaxial tension as shown with the arrow in this figure. The
point 6’s~” is the yield point obtained from the stress-strain diagram in reloading
along the same path as that in prestraining. It is considered from these results
that the protrusion of the prestressed point does not show the existence of the
corner in this preloading type.
Consequently, in the preloading type I and type III, the corner is found in the
subsequent yield surface, though it is not clear in the case of the uniaxial prestrain.
On the contrary, in the preloading type II, all points, except for the prestressed
point, lie on a smooth yield surface and only the prestressed point protrudes from this
yield surface.

&2 Plastic flow under stepwise increments of biaxial tension
As described by DRUCKER and STOCKTON(1953), the change of the direction
of plastic strain increments vector corresponding to the zigzag loading will be
small in the case of a rounded yield corner, while the change will not be small
at a sharp corner.
To investigate, with this principle, whether the corner of the subsequent yield
surface was pointed or rounded, plastic strain increments were measured for some
zigzag loading paths.
The stress increments was chosen in the range of the value 0.1 kg/mm2 to
0.4 kg/mmz, and the strain was measured in about one minute after applying
each stress increment in order to exclude the effect of creep on the strain value.
The value of the plastic strain was calculated by subtracting that of the elastic
strain obtained with Hooke’s law from that of the measured strain. Some experi-
mental results are shown in Figs. 15-26.
In the preloading type I, for example, the plastic strain path from the point
10 to the point 20 in Fig. 16 was obtained by the zigzag loading from the point
10 to the point 20 in Fig. 15. This plastic strain path approximately formed a
smooth line. Hence the change of the direction of the plastic strain increment vector
corresponding to that of the stress increment vector was not observed clearly.
The same results were obtained in the other part of the plastic strain path of Fig.
16, as well as in Fig. 18 of the preloading type I and in Fig. 20 of the preloading type
II. On the contrary, in the preloading type III, the zigzag loading in Fig. 25 gave
the zigzag plastic strain path as shown in Fig. 26. This showed partly the change
of the direction of the plastic strain increment vector corresponding to that of
the stress increment vector. The change was also observed in Fig. 22. But, even
in the preloading type III, such a change was not found in Fig. 24.
From these results, it was considered that the yield surface had a rounded
corner when the specimen was loaded from the virgin state, but it had a sharp
corner occasionally when the specimen, which had been initially preloaded and

completely unloaded, was reloaded along the different path from that in the initial
preloading.
The existence of the change in the direction of the plastic strain vector corres-
ponding to that of the stress increment vector may be directly due to the shape
of the stress-strain diagram in the plastic range from the foIlowing consideration.

where ukl is the constant of anisotropy, and 0 is the angle between the direction of

(a12/all) -t (aZl/all),b44/ald9 (uk2/a11) = K, were determined as follows by using yield
stresses (I+)) of the tensile specimens cut at various angles (a) to the rolling direction
and some sets of stress components in the directions X and Y [(Q)Y and (us)r] at
yield under the radial loading of uy/uz = p for the case of the biaxial specimens
which direction of the principal axis X coincided with the rolling direction, namely,
the angle B = 0.

Darn’s yield surfaces calculated by these coefficients were compared with the
experimental values as shown in Fig. 28. A qualitative coincidence was observed
between the calculated and experimental results, but the former was considered to
be quantitatively a little smaller than the latter.
5. CONCLUSIONS
The subsequent yield surfaces after prestraining along various loading paths
or after cold rolling were experimentally investigated with the cross-shaped speci-
mens of brass plate.
The following results were obtained.
The corner was found for the prestrain along the path of constant stress ratio,
except the case of the uniaxial prestrain. But the corner was not clear for the
prestrain along the path of variable stress ratios.
The yield point was independent of the path to determine it, except the pre-
stressed point for the prestrain along the path of variable stress ratios.
The correlation between the change of the stress increment vector and that of
the plastic strain increment vector for the zigzag loading was a little clearer
in the hard plastic behaviour than in the soft plastic behaviour.
The observed yield surface of the cold rolled brass plate quantitatively coincided
with the calculated values by Dorm’s theory, but the latter were a little smaller
than the former.
