Hi everyone,
The Johnson-Cook model is a function of Von Mises tensile flow stress, which takes into account the strain hardening, strain rate hardening, and thermal softening.
In my continuous effort to develop custom plugins to make easy the performance of the Abaqus models, I just added, into the Plastic Curve Generator plugin, a new law. This Law is Johnson-Cook hardening law. The parameters are automatically assess from tensile tests data based on Lower Yield Stress method and then mapped to an existing material to create Johnson-Cook plastic behaviour.
In the following days I'll upload the Plastic Curve Generator plugin. Meanwhile, let me know if it is of interest for you
Have a nice week.
