Subject: Interpreting Plasticity Data

Dear Users, I posted this message yesterday and got no replies..!! Was it a trivial one? Does nobody understand? Here goes again... I would be grateful for any guidance in interpreting plasticity data in ANSYS. We are modelling a bolted flanged connection using contact and solid45 elements. Our difficulty arises in interpretating the various stresses and strains that ANSYS offers (elastic and plastic). Can anybody comment on how the equivalent strains are related to the accumulated plastic strains? How is the stress ratio, SRAT, arrived at? If we are using a bilinear kinematic model how can we decide where we are on the stress strain graph? the effective Poisson's ratio? etc. Does anybody have a comprehensive set of notes on this area pertinent to ANSYS. We would be grateful for your help?
