The Chinese New Year is a family festival, a time for visiting friends and relatives and for community celebrations. It is the most important festival of the Chinese calendar.
New Year’s Day is a day of purity and good behaviour. In the morning, the children and junior members of the family bow to their elders and greet them with good sayings – prosperity, good health, longevity and happiness. In return, the older people make such encouraging statements as fast growth, good progress in studies and, to newlyweds, may you have a son. The day is given over to pleasure, merriment and relaxation.
The second day of the year is devoted to “opening the new year.” People visit relatives and friends to exchange greetings and gifts. Everywhere they go, children are given lucky money. In every home, food is plentiful. For women, this is a day to visit their parents’ home, bringing flowers, fruits, meat and rice puddings.
The third day of the year is usually quiet. It is called a day of “red mouth” and considered not advisable to go around visiting others on this day.
On the fourth day, all shops and offices open for business. For most shopkeepers and office workers, the New Year holiday is over, even though the festival is only at its midpoint. For some people, the fourth day is a day of feasting. Most dishes served have lucky names, such as “House filled with jade and gold” and “Lucky fortune within reach” and many others.
From the fifth day onwards, the festive activities simply continue as people indulge in general feasting and leisure. Religious individuals may use the time to pay homage to ancestors and gods in nearby shrines. As people look forward to a new beginning, fortune-tellers and almanac interpreters are most active at this time of the year.
The seventh day is considered the common birthday of humanity and is dedicated to doing good deeds. Some people may purchase captive animals to set them free. The environment also gets special attention as families begin to clean up the debris accumulated from the festivals.
On the tenth or eleventh day, people begin to decorate their homes with paper lanterns in preparation for the lantern festival which falls on the 15th day of the first month. Lanterns of all shapes and sizes have been hung from every possible vantage point. The climax of the lantern festival is the dragon parade. The dragon, made of bamboo and covered with silk, may be as long as sixty metres and require a hundred men to carry it. As it weaves its way through crowded streets, the onlookers carry lanterns and set off firecrackers. Traditionally, children were encouraged to hide under the dragon’s body for good luck. In the evening, the sky is illuminated by thousands of lanterns, as people feast, dance and sing to their hearts’ content. With this feast, the New Year festivities finally come to an end.

3.3.1 Establishing the plane stress viscoplastic damage constitutive equation
Figure 3 is the FLD^([17]) of the Aluminum 7075 when its speed is at 5mm/s and its molding temperature is at 20, 140, 180, 220°C respectively. The figure indicates that the lowest point of the curve is not on the plane strain axis. As the temperature drops constantly, the lowest point moves closer to the plane strain axis. This is because, during the hot stamping process, not only the equivalent stress has impact on the damage, but also its maximum principal stress and the hydrostatic stress have impact on the damage. The FLD of the aluminum cannot be accurately predicted by applying the uniaxial damage constitutive equation only. Therefore, based on the uniaxial constitutive equation, the viscoplastic damage constitutive equation is established under the plane stress state, as below:
In equation (20), D_ijkl is the elastic of the material. Equation (21) is derived from the uniaxial damage equation (4), considering the impact on the accumulative damage under different stress states, in which σ_1, σ_2 and σ_3 are respectively maximum principal stress, hydrostatic stress and equivalent stress; and α_1, α_2 and α_3 are respectively weighting factors of the above stresses, indicating each stress’s impact on the damage. For example, α_1=0 indicates that the maximum principal stress has no impact on the damage factor. Factor φ is the plane stress damage index. It indicates the plane stress’s impact on the damage evolution. Factor Δ is the correction factor of the uniaxial tensile test data.
Regarding the plane stress, it is believed that the stress σ_3 on the metal plate’s thickness direction is 0. The fitting FLC will be resulted if a data analysis is performed to the plane stress damage constitutive equation. By comparing the fitting FLC and the testing FLC, the value of the 5 factors in the damage equation (21) can be determined. The main steps are as following:
Define the principal strain ϵ_1 and ϵ_2,β= ϵ_2 〖/ϵ〗_1 according to the strain rate and strain ratio β. As shown in Figure 1, at this time, ϵ_1= ϵ_11 〖,ϵ〗_3 =ϵ_22.
Solve the viscoplastic constitutive equation by the method of data analysis, calculate the principal stress σ_(1 )and σ_2 through the equation (20), at this time, σ_1=σ_11, σ_2=σ_22. Calculate the plastic strain ϵ_11^p and ϵ_22^p at the same time.
