Abstract
Bauschinger eect in an AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel at room temperature was studied as a function of the
plastic prestrain. Typical uni-axial Bauschinger tests in tensioncompression and in compressiontension were carried
out. Internal and eective stresses were evaluated from the experimental stressstrain curves using the method proposed
by Kuhlmann-Wilsdorf and Laird. Four constitutive relations derived from a thermodynamical formulation were iden-
tied using an inverse identication method. The modelled stressstrain curves were then compared to the experimental
ones. Bauschinger eect was characterised using Bauschinger indicators proposed in the literature in terms of strain,
stress and energy, respectively. These indicators were evaluated from the experimental stressstrain curves on the
one hand, from the modelled ones on the other hand. Their variations as functions of prestrain were then compared.
The best constitutive relation uses two non-linear kinematic work-hardening terms.

The tests were performed at room temperature
on a 300 kN electromechanical testing machine.
The tests were carried out with a total strain con-

was measured by a strain gauge extensometer with
a 12.5 mm gauge length. Tests and data recordings
were computer-controlled. Each test consists of a
plastic prestrain in tension (respectively in com-
pression) up to a given total strain level (in the
range 0.25%) followed by a reverse loading in
compression (respectively in tension) until the
opposite of the maximum stress of the rst loading

Choteau et al. (1999). Six tensioncompression
