On Modeling of Thermo-Viscoplasticity of Case-Hardening Steels Over a Wide Temperature Range
The aim of this work is the development of a thermodynamically consistent fully coupled thermo-viscoplastic material model for metals.The model is based on a split ofthe free energy into a thermo-elastic, a thermo-plastic and a purely thermal part and covers nonlinear cold-work hardening and thermal softening. Nonlinear temperature dependent effects are accounted for the elastic moduli, the plasti
