Introduction
The large strain nonlinear stress-strain behavior of thermoplastic exhibits the following:
Strong hysteresis
Rate dependence Softening after yielding
Release 14.0
Generally the reverse loading slope is not same as the loading curve slope.
Brittle/Ductile/high strain elastic Different loading unloading behavior Permanent deformation Stress relaxation/Creep

Case 1
Structure is subjected to monotonically increasing load where Stress increases monotonically without any softening after yield. There is no reverse loading and temperature variation is not much ie. Stress-strain behavior is similar in the vicinity of the operating temperature. Model Recommendations (in increasing order of complexity):
1) Small strain metal plasticity (elasto-plastic): Pros: Easiest to use. Cons: Not advisable for large strains and may not be easy to define yield point. Large Strain hyperelastic: Pros: Include large strain effect in the equation Cons: Need more experimental data to properly define the model. Bergstrom-Boyce: Pros: Include large strain effects Cons: Need more experimental data to properly define the model and currently no curve fitting in ANSYS

Case 2
Structure is subjected to monotonically increasing load where Stress softening is occuring after yield and then resumes hardening . There is no reverse loading and temperature variation is not much ie. Stress-strain behavior is similar in the vicinity of the operating temperature. Model Recommendations (in increasing order of complexity):
1) Large Strain hyperelastic: Pros: Include large strain effect in the equation Cons: Need more experimental data to properly define the model. Bergstrom-Boyce: Pros: Include large strain effects Cons: Need more experimental data to properly define the model and currently no curve fitting in ANSYS.

Metal Plasticity cannot be used since Softening requires decrease in stress-strain slope which is not allowed in this model.

Case 3
Structure is subjected to loading unloading load, unloading slope is not same as the loading slope and permanent deformation is present. It is assumed that temperature variation is not much ie. Stress-strain behavior is similar in the vicinity of the operating temperature. Model Recommendation:
1) Bergstrom-Boyce: Pros: Include large strain effects Cons: Need more experimental data to properly define the model and currently no curve fitting in ANSYS.
Metal Plasticity cannot be used since Softening requires decrease in stress-strain slope which is not allowed in this model and also unloading slope is same as the loading slope. Hyperelastic models do not show any hysteresis and thus cannot be used here.
