Abstract
Fatigue testing was conducted on AZ31B-H24 magnesium alloy in strain-control condition. An unusual asymmetric shape of the hysteresis loop was the key feature of the cyclic behavior. A continuum-based cyclic plasticity model was developed to follow the asymmetric hardening behavior of wrought magnesium alloys. The proposed model was implemented in a UMAT subroutine to run with Abaqus/Standard. It was demonstrated that the UMAT was able to follow the cyclic hardening behavior of AZ31B under uniaxial loading. An energy-based damage parameter was proposed for estimating the fatigue crack initiation life. The developed UMAT along with the proposed damage parameter were used for fatigue modeling of an automotive substructure made of magnesium. It was shown that the proposed asymmetric model was more promising than a symmetric model.
