A new variant of the nonlinear kinematic hardening model is proposed which accommodates both nonlinear and linear strain hardening during initial tensile loading and reduced elastic modulus during initial load reversal. It also incorporates the Bauschinger effect, as a function of prior tensile plastic strain, during the nonlinear compressive loading phase. The model is shown to fit experimental data from a total of five candidate gun steels. The numerical fits will be employed in subsequent work to predict residual stresses and fatigue lifetimes for autofrettaged tubes manufactured from the candidate steels.
