Abstract

The elastoplastic constitutive analysis which utilizes the model of multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into its elastic and plastic parts has been mainly developed and applied to elastically isotropic materials, which remain isotropic during the process of plastic deformation. This paper extends the application of the model to materials that change their elastic properties during the deformation process as a result of the material degradation and the corresponding damage. The exact kinematic and kinetic analysis of the finite deformations leads to an additive decomposition of the total strain rate into its elastic, damage and plastic constituents. The general structure of the expression for the damage strain rate is derived, valid for utilized damage tensors of any order. The analysis of elastoplastic deformation of elastically anisotropic materials without damage is also presented, with the application to transversely isotropic materials. The relationships between the elastic and plastic strain rates and the components of the multiplicative decomposition and their rates are also given.

Numerical integration of rate constitutive equations in presence of large strains and rotations
2019, Mechanics Research Communications
Citation Excerpt :
For example, for a three-dimensional solid element, Abaqus uses the ZJ objective derivative with implicit time integration scheme and GN one with explicit time integration scheme, see [2]. The aim of the present work is not to discuss about the right objective derivative to use, see e.g. [3,9–11,15,17] on that purpose, but to present in a single paper two operational numerical methods allowing for integrating rate constitutive equations accounting for large rotations. Both methods can be applied in the development of home-made computation codes or/and in the development of user material subroutines in commercial computation codes.
Description of shear failure in ductile metals via back stress concept linked to damage-microporosity softening
2013, Engineering Fracture Mechanics
Starting from experimental observations on hat shape samples of a Titanium alloy of Ti6Al4V family showing that the failure of ductile materials under low triaxiality may result (at least partially) from void growth, the present work develops an approach based on a damage related softening mechanism acting as a kinematic mean stress drop causing a shift of the yield locus centre. For micro-porous viscoplastic material described via micro-mechanics based elliptic potentials (and obeying the normality rule) this ‘back mean stress’ concept allows reproducing the inelastic dilatancy due to void growth, in addition to the isochoric plastic deformation due to dislocation glide, at zero and low negative stress triaxiality. The approach is applied to the well-known GTN model and the 3D constitutive equations are implemented as user material in the engineering finite element computation code Abaqus®. Numerical simulations are conducted considering a single finite element under simple shear loading and a hat shape specimen under shear–compression loading. Numerical results are compared with experimental ones.
Elastic properties of cancellous bone in terms of elastic properties of its mineral and protein phases with application to their osteoporotic degradation
2012, Mechanics of Materials
The elastic modulus of cancellous bone is derived based on the measured elastic properties of separate mineral and protein phases. Adopting the mechanics of cellular solids approach, the moduli of elasticity of cancellous, deproteinated and demineralized bone are expressed in terms of the trabecular moduli of elasticity and the corresponding density ratios using the power law expressions. The Young’s modulus of trabeculae of bone are related to the Young’s moduli of deproteinated and demineralized trabeculae through a modified mixture rule, which incorporates an appropriate weight function to account for the mineral/protein interaction effects and the departure from the ideal mixture rule. Two expressions for the effective modulus of elasticity of cancellous bone are then derived: one in terms of the moduli of elasticity of mineral and protein trabeculae, and the other in terms of the moduli of elasticity of deproteinated and demineralized cancellous bone. The material parameters are specified from the results of compressive testing of untreated, deproteinated, and demineralized cancellous bovine femur bone. The osteoporotic decrease of the elastic moduli is then analyzed. Two evolution equations are introduced, one for the rate of loss of the mineral content of cancellous bone, and the other for the protein loss. Both losses are associated with the corresponding density and volume changes, for which appropriate equations are proposed. Based on these, and the evolution equations for morphological parameters accounting for the trabecular microarchitecture, the evolution equations are derived for the elastic moduli of deproteinated, demineralized and composite cancellous bone. A particular model of osteoporotic degradation is considered in which it is assumed that the relative ratios of the mineral and protein loss are equal to each other during the progression of osteoporosis.
Adiabatic shear banding-induced degradation in a thermo-elastic/ viscoplastic material under dynamic loading
2005, International Journal of Impact Engineering
In the approach presented, adiabatic shear banding (ASB) is considered as a form of anisotropic deterioration. The anisotropic mechanical degradation induced in the structural material by the bands is dealt with by using a second-order tensor internal variable. The kinematical consequences of the presence of the bands are described by means of the corresponding part (deterioration-induced part in addition to the genuinely plastic part) of the velocity gradient embodying the notion of a “super-dislocation”. The kinematical framework involves finite strain anisotropic elastic-irreversible formulation based on the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient. Constitutive equations integrating ASB-deterioration-like process are derived from thermodynamic potentials namely the free energy and dissipative potentials in the general framework of the internal state variables formulation. The hypothesis of a single yield function has been put to describe the chronology of the viscoplastic dissipative mechanisms and to account for the strong coupling between plasticity and band induced deterioration. An auxiliary indicator needed for determining the conditions for shear bands initiation and orientation has been obtained from a simplified analysis based on the linear theory of perturbations. This three-dimensional constitutive model, including anisotropic effects due to the ASB-induced deterioration in the context of finite elastic–plastic strains, rate sensitivity, strain hardening and thermal softening, has been implemented as ‘user material’ in the finite element code LS-DYNA. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of adiabatic shear banding-induced degradation have been performed considering the hat shape structure under dynamic shearing employing a direct Hopkinson pressure bar device. Depending on the impact velocity and on the loading duration, deterioration bands propagate or arrest inside the hat shape structure. Numerical results show the evolution of the band tip velocity during the deterioration process. Numerical deterioration maps inside the hat shape structure and the load transmitted to the output bar are in good agreement with experimental evidence including band orientation. Because of the modelling scale we use herein, mesh refining in the areas crossed by the bands—which usually supposes the a priori knowledge of the band trajectory—is not necessary. Thanks to the regularising effects of viscosity (in the model viscosity is double, concerning plasticity but also deterioration) and a further adaptive time procedure, a weak mesh dependency of the numerical results has been observed.
On the mechanics of solids with a growing mass
2002, International Journal of Solids and Structures
A general constitutive theory of the stress-modulated growth of biomaterials is presented with a particular accent given to pseudo-elastic soft living tissues. The governing equations of the mechanics of solids with a growing mass are revisited within the framework of finite deformation continuum thermodynamics. The multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into its elastic and growth parts is employed to study the growth of isotropic, transversely isotropic, and orthotropic biomaterials. An explicit representation of the growth part of the deformation gradient is given in each case, which leads to an effective incremental formulation in the analysis of the stress-modulated growth process. The rectangular components of the instantaneous elastic moduli tensor are derived corresponding to selected forms of the elastic strain energy function. Physically appealing structures of the stress-dependent evolution equations for the growth induced stretch ratios are proposed.
On coupled gradient-dependent plasticity and damage theories with a view to localization analysis
1999, European Journal of Mechanics, A/Solids
Combinations of gradient plasticity with scalar damage and of gradient damage with isotropic plasticity are proposed and implemented within a consistently linearized format. Both constitutive models incorporate a Laplacian of a strain measure and an internal length parameter associated with it, which makes them suitable for localization analysis.
The theories are used for finite element simulations of localization in a one-dimensional model problem. The physical relevance of coupling hardening/softening plasticity with damage governed by different damage evolution functions is discussed. The sensitivity of the results with respect to the discretization and to some model parameters is analyzed. The model which combines gradient-damage with hardening plasticity is used to predict fracture mechanisms in a Compact Tension test.
