a) Derive the differential equation that describes the model using the given parameters.
b) Give in two drawings the stress-time and strain-time relation for the standardized
one-dimensional creep test (oo > o) applied to this model.
c) Explain in a few words how this model differs from the Kelvin-Voigt and Maxwell
models.

Question 2.
(X marks)
From a FE simulation, the plane stress state of a cylindrical pressure vessel at a point is
determined as shown in Fig. 2. Answer the following questions:
a.) Assuming a Tresca model for plasticity with a yield strength of o, = 15MPa, assess
if this point yields or not.
b.) In general, do you expect that a material yields first with respect to Tresca or with
respect to the von Mises model for plasticity?
c.) Draw the principal two-dimensional yield surfaces of Tresca and von Mises using
principle stresses as coordinates.

Question 5.

Considering the one-dimensional tension case for a viscoelastic material, answer the fol-
lowing questions:
a.) Draw the two diagrams for a standard creep test (time-stress and time-strain dia-
grams) and explain them briefly.
Explain by a second diagram what is meant by primary, seconday and tertiary creep.

The dual potentials (complementary energy and dissipation) for a Maxwell model are:
o
v - L (1E”tra(:e(a2)—%(trace(a))z)
P (1+ytra(:e(az)—é(tra(:e(fl))z)
with E as the Young’s modulus, v as the Poisson ratio, and o and p as the stress
tensor and the material density, respectively. 1 and , are the additional coefficients
characterizing viscosity.
Derive from these equations the two expressions describing the dependency of the
elastic strain rate £{/*** and the anelastic strain rate éfj”"l““ on the stress rate. As-
sume the uni-axial case for this.

Question 6.
(X marks)
A certain material sample is assumed to follow von Mises-plasticity (no hardening). In a
three-dimensional tension experiment, the material was observed to suffer plastic flow at
a stress state op. Answer if you expect plastic flow at the stress state o4 and/or at the
stress state o3 (use calculations as well as explanations to motivate your answer)!
