Linear/Nonlinear Materials
<Workbench> uses von Mises criterion as the yield criterion, that is, a stress
state reaches yield state when the von Mises stress

If the stress state is inside the cylinder, no yielding occurs. If the stress state is on
the surface, yielding occurs. No stress state can exist outside the yield surface.

, where
If the stress state is on the yield surface and the stress state continues to "push" the
yield surface outward, the size (radius) or the location of the yield surface will
change. The rule that describes how the yield surface changes its size or location is
called a hardening rule.
Kinematic hardening assumes that, when a stress state continues to "push" a yield
surface outward, the yield surface will change its location, according to the "push
direction," but preserve the size of the yield surface.
Isotropic hardening assumes that, when a stress state continues to "push" a yield
surface, the yield surface will expand its size, but preserve the axis of the yield
surface.

description of plasticity
model, you must include its
linear elastic properties.

HYPERELASTICITY
Test Data Needed for Hyperelasticity
When the strain is large, all the moduli (tensile, compressive, shear, and bulk) can
not assume simple relations.
It is possible that a set of test data is obtained by superposing two sets of other test
data. For example, the set of uniaxial compressive test data can be obtained by adding a
set of hydrostatic compressive test data to a set of equibiaxial tensile test data.
