Characterization and Modeling of the Ratcheting Behavior of the Ferritic-Martensitic Steel P91

open access: yes, 2015
In this work, the ratcheting-behavior of 9%Cr-1%Mo ferritic–martensitic steel is studied with uniaxial cyclic loading. To describe the ratcheting-behavior of this steel, a visco-plastic constitutive model with consideration of cyclic softening of Reduced Activation Ferritic Martensitic steels is further modified, based on the analysis of back stress.
