“…Microstructure observations reveal a close relationship between the change of dislocation pattern and ratcheting evolution . Accurate constitutive modeling of ratcheting is necessary in design and life assessment of components subjected to asymmetric cyclic stressing; therefore, efforts have been devoted in developing constitutive models and improving their prediction capability, such as works performed by several research groups, Chaboche, Ohno and Wang, McDowell, Hassan, Chen, Kang, and Varvani‐Farahani, who took different considerations in kinetic hardening rule and yield surface shape change. Progresses in phenomenon observation, constitutive modeling, and application regarding ratcheting have been reviewed by Ohno and Kang …”
