Results and discussion

In all the tests a single element is loaded in the plastic range and then unloaded. The resulting equivalent plastic strain (and shift tensor for the kinematic models) is then annealed by raising the temperature to the annealing temperature. Subsequently, the temperature is decreased below the annealing temperature, and the element is loaded again into the plastic range.
