In this paper, a one-dimensional elastoplastic model based on fractional calculus is presented. This model is conceived for metal deformation. First, a brief introduction about fractional calculus is exposed. Then, a fractional calculus based general model is proposed, build-up as a series of fractional derivatives. The particular cases of one, two and three terms are discussed. Finally, these three particular cases of the general model are fitted to experimental data and compared with the classical Hollomon and Ramberg–Osgood models. As a result, a model capable of representing the elastoplastic behaviour more precisely than the Hollomon and Ramberg–Osgood models is obtained, despite numerical efforts are enlarged. & 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

1. Introduction Nowadays, automotive industry is becoming more and more competitive, car safety has to augment while vehicles must be lighter to reduce fuel consumption, reducing prices to be more competitive in the market. Due to this increment in the competitiveness of the market, the automotive engineering needs more accurate material models in order to improve the numerical simulations needed to reach competitive designs. Among all manufacturing processes used in automotive industry, metal plastic forming is one of the most important. This kind of process exploits the fact that when a metallic material is deformed enough to reach its elastoplastic region, the material remains with this new configuration. In fact, when a material is deformed, it has two regions: a first region of elastic behaviour until reach certain stress value, and when this value of stress is reached, a second elastoplastic region starts, in which permanent deformation occurs. Materials are usually characterised by tensile test. In this test, the material is stretched in one direction until rupture and elastic and plastic properties of the material are obtained [1]. The elastoplastic

behaviour of the material can be represented from a two different point of view. On the one hand, the industrial representation where the objective is to represent the whole behaviour until rupture and even extended to a high strain ranges. On the other hand, from a computational plasticity point of view where the curve is split and the elastic behaviour is represented by means of the elastic modulus and the plastic behaviour is represented with the hardening curve. In the last years, the representation of the plastic behaviour from a computational plasticity point of view has been deeply developed. New combined hardening models are introduced and new recovering techniques are developed [2–5]. However, the correct representation of these two behaviours (elastic and plastic behaviours) together in a single model is still a challenge. A single model able to describe both behaviours more accurately than current models is a high research due to the exigences of the market. The use of this kind of representations is widely used in industry in order to compare the behaviour of two materials and to extend the tensile test data to get a piecewise data up to the tensile test rupture strain. That is why, the accuracy of the single model and specifically just before necking has become a research interest from an industrial point of view. Among the different models that can be found in the literature to describe elastoplasticity, both Hollomon and Ramberg–Osgood models are the most used. On the one hand, the Hollomon model satisfies
s ¼ K enH ,
ð1Þ
where K and nH are the model parameters, s and e being the stress and strain, respectively. On the other hand, the Ramberg–Osgood

model is given by s s nRO e¼ þ , E H
ð2Þ
where E, H, and nRO are the model parameters, the E parameter represents the elastic modulus of the material. Both models are used to represent the whole strain–stress curve metals. For more details about these models, see [6,7,1]. Elastoplastic behaviour is composed, on the one hand, of elastic behaviour usually represented in metals by the Hooke law
s ¼ Ee,
ð3Þ
where E is the Young modulus of the material, and on the other hand, of plastic behaviour, which can be represented in many cases as a perfect plastic law, which satisfies
s ¼ s0 ,
ð4Þ
where s0 is the yield strength. Therefore, writing these behaviours as differential equations, the elastic behaviour exposed in Eq. (3) can be represented by 1
d s ¼ E, de1
ð5Þ
and the perfect plastic behaviour by 0
d s ¼ s0 : de0
ð6Þ
Consequently, the main hypothesis for the construction of the proposed model is that elastoplasticity can be modelled by means of a derivative order a comprised between zero and one a

The viability of using fractional calculus to represent the elastoplastic behaviour of metals stems from the application of fractional models to represent viscoelasticity (some of this applications can be seen in [8–11], among others). In fact, it can be taken into account that elastic behaviour is represented as the zero order derivative of the strain with respect to time, according to Hooke’s law (3) and viscosity is represented as the first order derivative with respect time t, according to Newton’s law
s ¼ ce_ ðtÞ,
ð8Þ
and then, viscoelasticity, which is a combination of elastic and viscous behaviours, may be represented by means of an a order derivative, satisfying 0 o a o 1 a

In short, this paper leads with the capability of a fractional calculus based model, which is named fractional model hereafter, to represent the elastoplastic behaviour of metals
First, a brief introduction about fractional calculus is presented. Next, the new fractional model is proposed, analysing the
behaviour of the one, two and three term particular cases, both analytically and numerically. Finally, particular cases of the fractional model are fitted to experimental data in order to compare them with the classical Hollomon and Ramberg–Osgood models.
Historically, fractional calculus has been relegated to theoretical mathematics, but in last decades, it has been successfully applied in different physical phenomena modelling, as viscoelastic behaviour. Miller and Ross [12] have published an introductory book to the fractional calculus. In the same manner, some years later Podlubny [13] has exposed in his book a brief review of fractional calculus applications, e.g. fractional capacitor theory, biology, control theory. More recently, different authors have published more complex fractional models [9,14] about different physical phenomena. First, definitions of fractional integral and fractional derivative proposed by Riemann–Liouville are presented. Next, the defini¨ tion of fractional derivative proposed by Grunwald–Letnikov is analysed. The definition of fractional a order integral of f(t) function defined by Riemann–Lioville is given by t0 Dat f ðtÞ ¼

In the material behaviour modelling field [9,12–14] the derivative order is commonly comprised between zero and one, 0 o a o 1.

One of the most efficient is the G1 method, [15, p. 136], which is based on the fractional derivative definition given by ¨ Grunwald–Letnikov (see [13] or [15] for more detailed analysis about this definition). ¨ The fractional derivative definition given by Grunwald– Letnikov is based on the generalization of the classical derivative. 0 In fact, the first derivative f ðtÞ is given by 0

According to the fractional order differential equation resolution techniques exposed in [13], and making use of Eqs. (10)–(15), the analytical solution of Eq. (30) results in 1 ea1 : a1 Gða1 þ1Þ
ð31Þ
From the analytical solution (31) of the one-term model, some statements can be concluded. First, if the derivative order is zero, a1 ¼ 0, the model represents a perfect plastic behaviour (4), the parameter model being related to the yield strength by a1 ¼ s1 0 . Also, if the derivative order is equal to one, a1 ¼ 1, the model represents a perfect elastic behaviour (3), and in this case, the model parameter is related to the Young modulus by a1 ¼ E1 . Finally, if the derivative order is comprised between zero and one, 0 o a1 o1, the fractional model becomes the Hollomon one (1), satisfying a1 ¼ nH and a1 ¼ ðK GðnH þ1ÞÞ1 . 3.2. Two-term particular case model If two terms are taken into account in Eq. (29), qmax ¼ 2, the model results in a1 Da1 sðeÞ þ a2 Da2 sðeÞ ¼ 1:

Using the same resolution techniques as employed to solve the one-term case, the analytical solution of the two-term model is given by

under assumption that the first derivative order is lower than the second one, and both are between zero and one, 0 r a1 o a2 r 1. From the first derivative of Eq. (33), it can be concluded that if the highest derivative order a2 is equal to one, and the lowest derivative order is between zero and one, a2 ¼ 1 and 0 o a1 o1, the initial slope of the stress–strain curve is equal to 1=a2 , i.e. a2 ¼ E1 , where E represents the Young modulus. On the contrary, if the higher derivative value is not equal to one, the initial slope is infinity. In this context, for the special case in which a1 ¼ 0 and a2 ¼ 1, Eq. (33) can be reduced to

3. Analysis of the proposed model
because the simplification of Eq. (33) for this particular case is just McLaurin’s development of Eq. (34), which corresponds to the solution of the differential equation
In this section, a new fractional elastoplastic model is presented. The general form of the proposed model is defined as a
a1 sðeÞ þa2 D1 sðeÞ ¼ 1:
ð35Þ

Then, Eq. (34) represents a perfect elastoplastic behaviour, without hardening, in which a1 ¼ s1 0 , representative of some metals. If the solution of the stress given by Eq. (33) has to be implemented in an incremental algorithm in which a finite strain step De is considered, the numerical resolution at the n þ 1 step provided by the G1 numerical method (26) can be used, which satisfies a1 Pn a 2 Pn 1 Aa ,j þ 1 sn þ 1j j ¼ 1 Aa1 ,j þ 1 sn þ 1j ðDeÞa1 ðDeÞa2 j ¼ 1 2 sn þ 1 ¼ : a1 a2 a1 þ a2 ðDeÞ ðDeÞ ð36Þ

4. Example of application to experimental data In order to validate the presented model, the three previously analysed particular cases of the general fractional model are fitted to experimental data and compared with the results provided by the Hollomon and Ramberg–Osgood classical models. Two different materials are used to validate the model. On the one hand, tensile test of a 6082O aluminum alloy, performed under a 0.001 s 1 strain ratio in room temperature, taken from [20]. On the other hand, tensile test of the AHSS TRIP 700 steel, performed under a 0.001 s 1 strain ratio in room temperature, taken from [21]. The curve fitting procedure was carried out by the Nelder and Mead [22] minimisation method, which is implemented in the s fminsearch function of Matlab .

Ramberg–Osgood model has as parameter the elastic modulus, so this parameter has fixed to 70 GPa for the aluminium alloy and 203 GPa for the TRIP steel. In the fractional two-term model the second derivative order has fixed to the unit value, a2 ¼ 1. Therefore, the constant associated to this derivative order has also fixed to the inverse of the initial slope, a2 ¼ 1=70,000 MPa1 in the case of the aluminium and a2 ¼ 1=203,000 MPa1 for the TRIP steel. From the results of Tables 1 and 2, the equivalence between the Hollomon and fractional one-term models can be verified, as was mentioned in the previous section. Figs. 1 and 2 represent the experimental stress–strain curve together with the provided by four fitted models for each material respectively. It can be taken into account that the one-term fractional model and the Hollomond model are equivalent, thus only the latter is represented. From Figs. 1 and 2, it should be remarked that the four model curves accurately represent the elastoplastic region, but differences can be found in the elastic region and in the elastic-to-elastoplastic transition, as well as in the large strain behaviour. In this context, Figs. 3 and 4 show a detail of the elastic and the elastic-to-elastoplastic transition, while Figs. 5 and 6 show the large strain behaviour.

In Fig. 3, it can be pointed out that each model gives different precisions, where the fractional three-term model is the most accurate. The fitting of the TRIP 700 steel confirms this statement.

The proposed model has been validated by means of curve fitting to experimental measurements for the 6082O aluminium alloy and TRIP 700 AHSS steel. As a result, a new model capable of representing elastoplastic behaviour of metals better than current models has been proposed. However, the manipulation of this model implies a higher computational effort, thus the employment of this model is justified when accurate representation of the whole stress–strain curve is needed.

On the other hand, in Figs. 5 and 6 it is shown how the fractional three-term model represents accurately the larger strain behaviour, therefore at larger strains the extrapolation using this model is expected to be better than using the other ones. These observations are confirmed taking into account the error indicator shown in Table 3. In Table 3 the value of the minimised objective function f ðxÞ is exposed for each model. This value can be taken as an error indicator to compare the model accuracy. Taking into account the results shown in Table 3, as previously mentioned, for this application example, the three-term fractional model gives the best representation of the experimental data, improving the Hollomond model in a 54% and the Ramberg– Osgood model in a 49% for the 6082O aluminium alloy and a 53% and 51% for the TRIP 700 steel.
5. Conclusions In this work, a new elastoplastic model has been developed, using fractional calculus techniques, in order to improve the elastoplastic behaviour modelling taking advantage of the nonlocality property of fractional operators
Despite the correct accuracy of the Hollomon model to
represent a elastoplastic region, from the presented results it should be pointed out the limitations of Hollomon model to represent both elastic region and elastic-to-elastoplastic transition. The new three-term fractional model results more accurate than the classic Hollomon and Ramberg–Osgood models.
