Abstract
Stainless steel is an important engineering material which is used
in construction, chemical, mechanical and automobile industries. It
contains chromium instead of carbon in mild steel, which enhance the
corrosion resistance property. Nonlinear analysis of stainless steel is
required for the economical use and for getting more realistic
assessment of the structural response of the material. There are lot of
models proposed for analyzing the nonlinear behavior of the stainless
steel. The base of all the models are model suggested by RambergOsgood. But there exist lots of uncertainties in ramberg Osgood
suggested equation for nonlinear strain hardening parameter n, which
is using proof stress at 0.01 and 0.2 strains. Later lots of models
proposed and all the models are the extension of Ramberg Osgood
equation. Every model is using ramberg osgood equation up to the
yield point. In this paper a brief literature review of different models
used for nonlinear analysis of stainless steel is presented. The
nonlinear strain hardening parameter is compared by using equation
proposed by Ramberg-Osgood, Real et al. and authors proposed
equations along with the computer optimized values given by [1]. The
presently proposed equation for nonlinear strain hardening parameter
is calculated by using proof stress corresponding to 0.01, 0.05 and 0.2
strain, which is showing excellent matching with the optimized values
of nonlinear strain hardening exponent n.

where 0.2 is the stress at 0.2% plastic strain (i.e. the 0.2%
proof stress) and 0.01 is the stress at 0.01% strain. Typically,
n will range between about 3 and 10 for stainless steels, 6 and
40 for aluminium alloys, and 20 and 60 for high strength steels.

Rasmussen [5] model is also the extension of RambergOsgood. He adopted the basic equation up to the yield stress of
the material and beyond yield used Mirambell and Reals
proposed equation. He proposed that the strain hardening
exponent n be determined on the basis of the 0.01% proof stress.
Rasmussen gives an equation for finding the additional strain
hardening exponent m given by equation (6).

F) Other Models
Quach et al. [9] presents a three-stage stress-strain model for
stainless steels, which is capable of accurate predictions over the
full ranges of both tensile and compressive strains. This model
is using three basic RambergOsgood parameter, first stage, is
stresses up to the yield stress, which uses the RambergOsgood
equation. The second stage is stresses up to 2% of the proof
stress is a modified Gardner proposal and the third stage, stresses
up to the ultimate strength the author proposes an expression
based on the assumption that stressstrain behavior at high
strains can be modelled as a straight line passing though the
point of 2% proof stress and the ultimate strength.
Hradil et al. [10] proposed a theoretical model to match the
different kinds of measured or already existing stress-strain
models. Authors developed a new three-stage model which uses
the RambergOsgood equation for every stage, but with
different reference systems.

equation for nonlinear strain hardening parameter n. RambergOsgood used the stress at 0.2% plastic strain and stress at 0.01%
strain, whereas Real et al. used proof stress at 0.2% and 0.05%
strains. So for getting more accurate results. we proposed to use
proof stress at 0.01%, 0.05% and 0.2% strains. The proposed
equation (11) is giving excellent results with experimental
results and analytical values.
