The verification tests in this section consist of one-element models that are subjected to monotonically increasing tensile loads in a sequential import analysis. The sequence of tests involves transferring results from Abaqus/Explicit to Abaqus/Standard and then back to Abaqus/Explicit. An elastic-plastic material with Mises yield criterion is used in the analyses. Two sets of problems are tested: one with isotropic hardening and the other with combined isotropic/kinematic hardening.
The following material properties are used (the units are not important):
Elasticity
Young's modulus, E = 200.0 × 103
Poisson's ratio, 
= 0.3
Plasticity for combined isotropic/kinematic hardening case
Initial yield stress: 
= 200.0
Isotropic hardening parameter, 
= 2000.0
Isotropic hardening parameter, b = 0.25
Kinematic hardening parameter, C = 2.222 × 104
Kinematic hardening parameter, 
= 34.65
Plasticity for combined isotropic/kinematic hardening with multiple backstresses case
Initial yield stress: = 200.0
Isotropic hardening parameter, = 2000.0
Isotropic hardening parameter, b = 0.25
Kinematic hardening parameter,

A verification test is also conducted for adiabatic Mises plasticity with isotropic hardening. C3D8R elements are used in the analysis. The following material properties are used (the units are not important):
Elasticity
Young's modulus, E = 30.0 × 106
Poisson's ratio, = 0.3
Plasticity (isotropic hardening)
Verification tests are also included for some first-order reduced-integration elements with enhanced hourglass control.
The results demonstrate that the plasticity material model is transferred successfully between Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Standard.
