The Bauschinger Effect
“ Pre-straining in any direction,
as defined by the principal axis of
the strain tensor, will introduce
an anisotropy for further
deformation in any other
direction. The intensity of this
prestrain-associated anisotropy is
at maximum when the direction
of further straining is opposite to
that of the prestrain.”

Some of the Main Features of the
Bauschinger Effect, Mater. Forum,
1987, 10, 11-26.

The Bauschinger Effect: Practical Consequences:
Bauschinger effect is of practical importance whenever strain path
reversals are expected:
Example 1: UOE Tube Forming

The Bauschinger Effect: Practical Consequences:
Bauschinger effect is of practical importance whenever strain path

When tension and compression co-exist
Example 2: Springback of sheet
UCL Lunch Seminar, Dec. 18 2009
The Bauschinger Effect: Theoretical Consequences:
The existance of the Bauschinger effect underlines our poor
understanding of the underlying physics of work hardening –
particular from a materials science perspective our ability to predict
a priori a Bauschinger effect is very poor

Atkinson, Brown and Stobbs† proposed that the magnitude of
the permanent softening should be used to quantify the
Bauschinger effect since they are directly related to mean
internal stresses
I
Calibrated this through experiments on internally oxidized Cu
I
Eshelby model for load transfer to spherical oxides
I
Used results on x-ray diffraction measurements from Wilson
and Koonan‡ to justify model

Problem!
I
I
Atkinson et al. were correct → under special conditions!
Very often do not observe permanent softening even when we
know we have large internal stresses!
I
Even the calibration used above was somewhat faulty given
that the data of Wilson and Koonan shows no permanent
softening!
I
If there is no elastically loading element then permanent
softening disappears (cf. Masing Model)
I
Pragnell et al.† experimentally verified reversal of internal
stresses and lack of permanent softening in MMCs

I
There is a wealth of
information about the
distribution of stress in reverse
part of the flow curve
I
e.g. yield in reverse direction
corresponds to the yielding of
the softest element → tangent
at σr tells us the fraction of
“unyielded” material
I
Need to explore the shape of
the reverse part of the curve to
be able to predict the full
distribution of “backstresses”
or “internal stresses” within a
plastically deformed material!

Bauschinger test: Easy experiment to do... hard experiment
to do well!
I
Bauschinger test gives us a sort of “mechanical spectrometer”
I
“Classical” interpretations are important but have significant
problems when treating “real” materials
I
Even if we can’t predict it fully, can get a long way in some
materials (e.g. precipitation hardened materials)
I
Capturing the full shape of the ∆σ vs. r curve is of both
fundamental and practical importance!
