A new and efficient algorithm for the integration of the thermal-elasto-plastic constitutive equation is proposed. While it falls into the category of the return mapping method, the algorithm adopts the three point approximation of plastic corrector within one time increment step. The results of its application to a von Mises-type thermal-elasto-plastic model with combined hardening and temperature-dependent material properties show that the accurate iso-error maps are obtained for both angular and radial errors. The accuracy achieved is because the predicted stress increment in a single step calculation follows the exact value closely not only at the end of the step but also through the whole path. Also, the comparison of the computational time for the new and other algorithms shows that the new one is very efficient.

LMFBR(Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor) vessel is operated under the high temperatures of 500-550.deg. C. Thus, transient thermal loads were severe enough to cause inelastic deformation due to creep-fatigue and plasticity. For reduction of such inelastic deformations, Y-piece structure in the form of a thermal sleeve is used in LMFBR vessel under repeated start-up, service and shut-down conditions. Therefore, a systematic method for inelastic analysis is needed for design of the Y-piece structure subjected to such loading conditions. In the present investigation, finite element analysis of heat transfer and inelastic thermal stress were carried out for the Y-piece structure in LMFBR vessel under service conditions. For such analysis, ABAQUS program was employed based on the elasto-plastic and Chaboche viscoplastic constitutive equations. Based on numerical data obtained from the analysis, creep-fatigue damage estimation according to ASME Code Case N-47 was made and compared to each other. Finally, it was found out that the numerical predictio of damage level due to creep based on Chaboche unified viscoplastic constitutive equation was relatively better compared to elasto-plastic constitutive formulation.

The object of the research is to estimate for pearlite structure of quenched carbon steels. The effects of temperature on physical properties metallic structures and the latent heat by phase transformation were considered. In this study a set of constitutive equations relevant to the analysis of thermo-elasto plastic materials with pearlite phase transformation during quenching process way presented on the basis of continuum thermo-dynamics. The iso-thermal transformation curve of the SM50C was formlated by cubic spline curve. The formulated equations of evolution in pearlite transformation was used for structure analysis. The volume fraction of pearlite was obtained from the results of calculated metallic structure by Finite element equation.

The bottom-leaded plastic(BLP) packages have attracted substantial attention since its appearance in the electronic industry. Since the solder materials have relatively low creep resistance and are susceptible to low cycle fatigue, the life of the solder joints under the thermal loading is a critical issue for the reliability The represent study established a finite element model for the analysis of the solder joint reliability under thermal cyclic loading. An elasto-plastic constitutive relation was adopted for solder materials in the modeling and analysis. A 28-pin BLP assembly is modeled to investigate the effects of various epoxy molding compound, leadframe materials on solder joint reliability. The fatigue life of solder joint is estimated by the modified Coffin-Hanson equation. The two coefficients in the equation are also determined. A new design for lead is also evaluated by using finite element analysis. Parametric studies have been conducted to investigate the dependence of solder joint fatigue life on various package materials.

In this a set of constitutive equation relevant to the analysis of thermo-elasto-plastic materials with phase transformation during quenching process was presented on the basis of continuum thermo-dynamic. In calculating the transient thermal stresses, temperature between coolant and specimen(SM45C) surface was determined from the heat transfer coefficient. A calculation was made for specimen with 40mm in diameter quenched in coolant from $820^{\circ}C$ and the results are as follow. Stresses at starting point of transformation always show the maximum tensile value. Reverse of stresses takes place after completion of transformation of inner part at specimen.

The heating process such as line heating, triangular heating and so on is widely used in plate forming of shell plates found in bow and stern area of outer shell in a ship. Local shrinkage during heating process is main physical phenomenon used in plate forming process. As it is well appreciated, the heated plate undergoes the change in material and mechanical properties around heated area due to the harsh thermal process. It is, therefore, important to investigate the changes of physical and mechanical properties due to heating process in order to use them plate the design stage of shell plates. This study is concerned with the development of formula of plastic hardening constitutive equation for steel plate on which line heating is applied. In this study the stress correction formula for the heated plate has been developed based on the numerical simulation of tension test with varying plate thickness and heating speed through the regression analysis of multiple variable case. It has been seen the developed formula shows very good agreement with results of numerical simulation. This paper ends with usefulness of the present formula in examining the structural characteristic of ship's hull.
