The two most common material types used in aircraft construction are steel and aluminum. With steel being used sparingly for specific high strength, high endurance or high-temperature applications because of its relatively high density (approx. 3 times that of aluminum).
Both steels and aluminum exhibit plastic behavior but in slightly different ways.

The Stress-Strain curve can be modeled with a simple close approximation, this is called the Ramberg-Osgood method and is defined in (NACA-TN-902, 1943). An adaptation of the Ramberg-Osgood approach is defined in section 1.6 of
(MIL-HNDBK-5H, 1998) and (NACA-TN-927, 1944). Having a simple method for modeling the stress-strain behavior of a material proves to be extremely useful when an accurate picture of how a feature may behave beyond the material yield point is required.
𝑒 = 𝑒𝑒 + 𝑒𝑝
The model of the stress-strain curve is predicated on the following relationship

the total strain is the sum of the elastic and plastic strains. This can be re-written:

The lower the value of n, the more gradual the transition between the elastic and plastic regions of the curve. For higher values of n the transition is more abrupt. Metals with low values of n usually have a lower yield strength relative to their ultimate strength.

Note that metal materials also will have small differences in strength and stiffnessproperties for compression and tension. They also usually have a different shapefactor ‘n’.
The shape factor and strength can also vary with grain direction.
(MIL-HNDBK-5H, 1998) notes this about theshape factor ‘n’:
“While this relationship may not be exact, it issufficiently accurate for use up to the yieldstrength for many materials, but cannot beemployed to compute full-range stress-straincurves.”

An approximate method for calculating the shape factor in the plastic region can bederived from the approach in (MIL-HNDBK-5H, 1998):

It is recommended that the ultimate shape factor is used above fty . When plotting fullrange stress train curves a smoothing function can be used to avoid an unnatural stepin the value of ‘n’.

Different measures of the nonlinear nature of the stress-strain curve are useful andused in the correction of buckling allowable stresses for plastic effects. The two mostcommonly used are the tangent modulus and the secant modulus
The tangent modulus is given by the following expression:
𝐸𝑡 =1

The secant modulus is given by the following expression:

A material property that is commonly missing from the certified, public domain material data is the shear yield strength. An approximation can be made for this value using the following expression:
𝑓𝑠𝑦 =൯𝑓𝑡𝑦(𝐿) + 𝑓𝑡𝑦(𝐿𝑇) + 𝑓𝑐𝑦(𝐿) + 𝑓𝑐𝑦(𝐿𝑇
4∙
2 ∙ 𝑓𝑠𝑢)𝑓𝑡𝑢(𝐿) + 𝑓𝑡𝑢(𝐿𝑇
An acceptable approximation for the shear shape factor is:
𝑛𝑠 =𝑛𝑐𝐿 + 𝑛𝑐𝐿𝑇 + 𝑛𝑡𝐿 + 𝑛𝑡𝐿𝑇
