Accumulative strain results for a uniform temperature input of 22 °C
during the simulation. Again, the length increase for each element is equivalent as
the temperature of each element is the same throughout the simulation.
Corresponding to the increase in length, Fig.

displays the reduction in
area for each element based on conservation of volume. The area is reduced from

The stress required for deformation during the simulation is given in Fig.

As seen, the true stress required to deform the sample increases with imposed
