 This study examined the ratcheting behavior of 1045 steel specimens undergoing asymmetrical cyclic loading. The Nuber, Glinka, and Hoffman-Sieger HS rules were used to calculate local stress and strain components at the notch root. Additionally, the Amazada Varvani AV kinematic hardening model was utilized to determine backstress promotion. The results showed that the HS rules provided more accurate predictions than the Nuber and Glinka rules. Furthermore, the Shabosh model was used to simulate the ratcheting behavior of the specimens. The simulation results matched those obtained from experimental testing. This article was authored by Faize Hadami and Amad Varvani Farahani.
