Combined Hardening Plasticity
Combined hardening plasticity is perhaps the most interesting type of plasticity model. This article explains how to use this type of model.

The LS-DYNA *Mat_Add_Inelalstic is a new and useful model framework that can easily be calibrated using MCalibration.
Review of different creep models that are available in Ansys Mechanical. In the article I will recommend which to use and which to avoid.
Tutorial on Abaqus creep laws, which 2 you should not use, and which are the best. I also discuss how creep models work for polymers.
Article discussing how isotropic hardening plasticity works, when you should use it, and issues that can occur if you use it incorrectly.
Discussion about why the MCalibration implementation of the Abaqus PRF model is different than the Abaqus version.
Detailed tutorial on how to: (1) experimentally test the Mullins damage of rubbers and elastomers; (2) calibrate the Ogden-Roxburgh Mullins model; (3) how to distinguish between Mullins damage and viscoelastic effects.
Information about how to calibrate a temperature-dependent Ansys Bergstrom-Boyce (BB) model to data for PEEK.
Instructions on how to calibrate and use the Abaqus Parallel Rheological Framework (PRF) model in a non-linear finite element simulation.
In this article I will show how to use the Abaqus *Hysteresis model. The specific focus is on when to use Hybrid elements.
