Popis: An attempt has been made towards the implementation of two-internal-variable model based on the evolution of forest dislocation density and mean free path with the plastic strain into finite element code via user-defined material subroutine using implicit Euler backward algorithm with radial-return scheme. The rate independent two-internal-variable model considers isotropic hardening and the parameters associated with the model are optimised by fitting uniaxial true stress-true plastic strain data. Applicability of the implemented scheme has been examined by simulating the tensile behaviour of type 316LN austenitic stainless steel with different U-notch radii as 1.25, 2.5 and 5 mm at 300 K. Good agreement between the predicted and experimental data has been observed. Detailed analysis showed notch-strengthening effect increases with decrease in notch radius at 300 K.
