Abstract

An implicit integration method is discussed. This method allows for studying non- linear material behaviour, such as viscoplasticity. The material behaviour is de- scribed by so-called internal variables. The model applied here was developed by Lemaitre and Chaboche. The integration method is implemented in a user- subroutine in the commercial Finite-Element-Method package ABAQUS. The re- sults of a numerical analysis of the rotation of an aircraft turbine disk are presented. Cyclic loading conditions are studied, and the results are compared to numerical results found in literature. 1 Introduction Structures under cyclic loading conditions are studied. The inelastic behavio
