Talk:Bauschinger effect

Stub, yes; Classical Mechanics, no.

I do not believe this belongs under Classical Mechanics. Looks like metallurgy or materials science. JohnAspinall 19:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The professional term seems to be "Mechanics of materials" or "Strength of materials" --BjKa (talk) 11:30, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bauschinger effect = ratcheting?

Bauschinger effect seems to be ratcheting. Perhaps "ratcheting" should be included in the article as a supplemental term. I find that terms like this function well as descriptors which simplify explanation and provide for visualization. Mike P.

Quoting from an FEA Manual: "[some mathematical model they use] accounts for the nonlinear Bauschinger effect, cyclic hardening, and ratcheting." This wording seems to imply that those are three separate effects.
