Bauschinger effect

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bauschinger effect

The Bauschinger effect (named after Johann Bauschinger ) is the directional change in the elastic limit of a ( polycrystalline ) metal or alloy after a primary plastic deformation . If a metal is first deformed in one direction so that it is plastically deformed and then deformed in the opposite direction, the elastic limit is lower in the opposite direction. The reason for this are the restoring forces from pent-up dislocations (defects or imperfections) in the material.

The Bauschinger effect corresponds to an elastic-plastic model of an element connected in parallel consisting of a spring (Hooke's elasticity) and a friction element (Coulomb friction), as well as another spring connected in series.
