SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on discrepancies between simulation results from LS-DYNA using material model MAT_024 and actual tensile test results for steel. The user followed a detailed process to convert engineering stress and strain to true stress and strain, then plotted the results. However, the simulation indicated a maximum stress of 0.5 GPa at a strain of 0.3, while the lab test showed a maximum stress of 0.37 GPa for the same strain. The user seeks clarification on the differences in results and potential mistakes in their modeling approach.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LS-DYNA software and its material models, specifically MAT_024.
  • Knowledge of stress-strain relationships, including true stress and true strain calculations.
  • Familiarity with the conversion of engineering stress and strain to true values.
  • Basic grasp of finite element analysis (FEA) principles.
NEXT STEPS
  • Review LS-DYNA documentation on MAT_024 for accurate material modeling.
  • Study the calculation methods for true stress and true strain in tensile testing.
  • Investigate the impact of Young's modulus on plastic strain calculations.
  • Learn about common discrepancies in simulation vs. experimental results in FEA.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for mechanical engineers, materials scientists, and simulation analysts involved in tensile testing and finite element modeling of materials.

I try many time to model a simple tensile test for steel MAT_024 but the graph doesn't match from Dyna result and Test result.
Process:
1. Collect data Tensile strain and stress convert to True stress and strain use formula True stress: eng. stress*(1+eng. strain). True strain= ln(1+eng. strain) and then the true strain convert to plastic strain = true strain - (true stress / Young modulus) and plot the graph

2. Use MAT_024 from dyna

3. Then I extract nodout and sec force.

LN1 is left node 1 (triangle on left)
RN1 is right node (triangle on right)

4. Eng stress= Force/Ao and eng. strain= delta Length / original length and plot the graph. (original area is 40, original length is 45mm)

Then the both result was different, why? What the misstake? Anyone can help me solve this problem?

In the first figure, when you define the stress x plastic strain for the material, the maximum inputed value is around 0.5GPa for a strain of 0.3, but when you show the lab test stress x strain graph in the last figure, the maximum stress is around 0.37GPa for the same strain.
 
The 1st figure is a plastic strain vs true stress as a input, is it right?
if true stress vs strain and lab test strain stress the max. stress is different right?
