  Hi,
  I have studied one paper in which they mentioned about the equivalent plastic strain range for one thermal cycle as a failure criteron.
  Can anyone explain how to calculate equivalent plastic strain range and what does it mean

  Hi,
  Can you share what kind of analysis you are interested in to perform on Ansys and on which platform (APDL, Mechanical, LS-Dyna etc.)
  Also, if it is possible can you put the link of the paper that you are talking about?
  You can determine Equivalent plastic strain for a non-linear problem in Mechanical by inserting its probe by right clicking on the Solution settings.
  Various probes for different analysis types are available in Mechanical.

  I am using ansys workbench tool
  Equivalent plastic strain i know very well
  could you explain about the Eq. plastic strain range

  Hi,
  Extract the six components of Total Plastic strain at two time instances and then take the difference.
  It will represent the range that you are looking for.
  Hope this helps. All the best!!
