Papadopoulos method

In: Multiaxial methods


Papadopoulos reassumed the Dang Van methodology in the mesoscopic branch, but decided to integer both input variables over all planes [Pap87], [Pap94] and [PDG97]. Such integration is understood as averaging the load manifestation over all planes. The solution is not based on the MCCM or any other methodology for obtaining the shear stress amplitude Ca, but on another integration of resolved shear stress (shear stress path projection) over all possible directions in the current examined plane.

.

The integration of the normal component over all planes is expected too, but here the equality is followed up:

.

The final form of the Papadopoulos criterion is:

.

Coefficients can be set on a basis of two uniaxial tests as:

The criterion leads to a very simple formula for the case of a pure combination of axial and torsion harmonic loadings with phase shift:

;

see [PDG97] for its derivation. The influence of phase shift is under defined loading condition zeroed, which Papadopoulos sees as a positive sign of quality of the criterion. The same formula can be obtained by Crossland method in expectation of in-phase loading, whereas both methods differ under non-proportional loading.

The criterion is fully integrated into the PragTic. All the formulas presented previously in this section are usable according to Papadopoulos [PDG97] for hard metals, i.e. metals where κ ratio is:
