Table 1
The whole integration procedure.
| Step | Description |
| 1 | Given a dynamic stress amplitude , where |
| 2 | Judge the loading or unloading stage according to the following condition: | (1) Initial loading stage: , | (2) Unloading stage: | (3) Reloading stage: |
| 3 | Stress reversal judging stage: | If , then go to Step 4 | Else, and go to Step 5 |
| 4 | Calculate | (1) , where α can be i, u, or r | (2) , | (3) Record | Go to Step 2 |
| 5 | Calculate the new strain : | (i) Initial loading stage: | (1) Firstly, calculate | (2) Then, , is the trial increment of the strain and given automatically by the program | (ii) Unloading stage: | (1) Firstly, calculate | (2) Then, | (iii) Reloading stage: | (1) Firstly, calculate | (2) Then, | Let , , where α can be i, u, or r | Go to Step 2 |
