A three-dimensional progressive damage model for fiber reinforced composites with an implicit-explicit integration scheme

This contribution proposes a fully three dimensional “continuum damage model” (CDM) to describe the interlaminar and intralaminar failure mechanisms of transversely isotropic elastic-brittle materials under static loading. The constitutive model is derived from an energy function with independent damage variables for each damage mode. The evolution law is based on energy dissipation within the damage process, taking into account the critical energy release rate to weaken the effect of mesh dependent outcome. The onset of damage can be predicted with Cuntze's failure mode concept [1] as well as with Hashin's failure criteria. In this model linear stress decreasing is assumed. In addition, an implicit-explicit integration scheme, first proposed by Oliver [3] for isotropic damage models, is adapted to increase the stability and robustness of numerical simulations and to decrease the computational cost of material failure analyses. By comparing the results from implicit-explicit integration schemes and standard implicit integration schemes, a high level of agreement is found. (© 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A constitutive model for thermoplastic materials subjected to high strain rates

Reliable prediction of the behaviour of structures made from polymers is a topic under considerable investigation in engineering practice. Especially, if the structure is subjected to dynamic loading, constitutive models considering the mechanical behaviour properly are not available in commercial finite element codes yet. A constitutive model is derived including important phenomena like necking, strain rate dependency, unloading behaviour and damage. In particular, different yield surfaces in compression and tension and strain rate dependent failure, the latter with damage induced erosion, is taken into account. With the present formulation, standard verification tests can be simulated successfully. Also, an elastic damage model can be used to approximate the unloading behaviour of thermoplastics adequately.

A constitutive and damage model for high cycle fatigue of tetragonal ferroelectrics

Reliability and life time of smart materials are crucial features for the development and design of actuator and sensor devices. Being widely used and exhibiting brittle failure characteristics, ceramic ferroelectrics are of particular interest in this field. Due to manifold interactions of the complex nonlinear constitutive behavior on the one hand and the damage evolution in terms of microcrack growth on the other, modeling and simulation are inevitable to investigate influence parameters on strength, reliability and life time. A condensed approach is used for the simulations considering just one characteristic point in the material, nonetheless accounting for polycrystalline grain interactions. On this basis, a model to predict the life time in terms of high cycle fatigue under electromechanical loading conditions is introduced. (© 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A bifurcation-based decohesion model for simulating the transition from localization to decohesion with the MPM

Based on recent experimental observations on the formation of localization before delamination, a bifurcation-based decohesion approach is proposed in this paper to simulate the transition from localization to decohesion involved in the delamination process of compressed films. The onset and orientation of discontinuous failure are identified from the discontinuous bifurcation analysis. A discrete constitutive model is then formulated based on the bifurcation analysis to predict the evolution of material failure as decohesion or separation of continuum. The Material Point Method, that does not employ fixed mesh-connectivity, is developed as a robust spatial discretization method to accommodate the multi-scale discontinuities involved in the film delamination. To demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach, a parametric study is conducted to explore the effects of aspect ratio and failure mode on the evolution of failure patterns under different boundary conditions, which provides a better understanding on the physics behind the film delamination process.     

Influence of structural hypotheses on the elastic-viscoplastic response of shock wave-loaded plates

If circular metal plates are subjected repeatedly to impulsive loadings, damage and failure of the structures can occur. In order to predict the damage evolution in finite element simulations, a structural theory combined with viscoplastic constitutive equations acounting for damage is used. However, different structural hypotheses, used in the theoretical model, can lead to variations in the numerical result. Therefore, first- and third-order shear deformations theories are applied in a finite element code. Moreover, local and non-local damage approaches are used. The aim is to determine the numerical model, which leads to the most accurate results compared to experiments. (© 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Structural damage accumulation and stable postcritical deformation of composite materials

The macroscopic failure of composite materials is preceded by complex multilevel processes accompanied by accumulation and localization of damaged centers and formation of a failure cluster. Therefore, the study of these mechanisms is one of the basic problems for the mechanics of modern composite materials used in aerospace engineering. The formation of a theory of the stable postcritical deformation of the work-softening media is considered. The pseudo-plastic deformation affected by structural damage of granular composites is investigated within the framework of the considered two-level structurally phenomenological model of heterogeneous media. The stable evolution of the interconnected processes is accompanied by stress redistributions, partial or complete unloading, and strain or damage localization that are one of the main causes of implementation of the postcritical deformation stage. The numerical calculation results of inelastic deformation and failure of the periodic unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites are presented under conditions of the displacement-controlled transverse proportional loading mode. The main mechanisms of the work-softening behavior for the indicated type of materials are described in the macro-homogeneous stress-strain states. Macroscopically, the failure of heterogeneous media as a result of postcritical deformation and the loss of stability of damage accumulation depends on the stiffness of the loading system. When a deformable body is fixed on the closed surface with sufficiently but not infinitely large coefficients of stiffness, it is possible to observe the equilibrium development of the localized volumes of work-softening and damage. The constitutive equations for the work-softening isotropic, transverse isotropic, and orthotropic media are presented. The effect of the loading system on the stability of deformation, damage accumulation, and failure under monotone and nonmonotone triaxial loading was studied. The growth of failure strains with increase in stiffness of the loading system and unequal resistance of heterogeneous body are registered and investigated. A preventive unloading method is offered for the mathematical modeling of the damage accumulation during the testing of the materials on the servo-controlled systems. The displacement-controlled mode is simulated by a series of soft loading and unloading cycles. The detected phenomenon of failure where the unloading leads to stress-strain diagrams with a negative slope of the descending branch was not found either in the displacement or stress-controlled monotone loading mode.Submitted to the 10th International Conference on Mechanics of Composite Materials, April 20–23, 1998, Riga, Latvia.Perm' State Technical University, Russia.

Mathematical modelling of the stochastic mechanical properties of wood and its extensibility at small scales

This paper investigates the relation between the uncertain mechanical properties of wood and its extensibility at the ultrastructural scale. A statistical approximation to the output of a multi-scale constitutive model is adopted to predict the extensibility of wood in the presence of parametric uncertainty. By means of this procedure, a very large number of computationally intensive fully-coupled multi-scale simulations are avoided. Following this approach, four different micromechanical parameters are chosen to assess their influence on the extensibility of the material under tensile loading conditions. These are the degree of cellulose crystallinity, the ultimate strain and Young’s modulus of the hemicellulose–lignin matrix, and the thickness of the amorphous cellulose layer which covers the periodic crystalline portions of cellulose. We believe that a better understanding of the mechanisms of deformation and extensibility in wood and in natural materials can pave the way for the development of new strategies to design more advanced materials in engineering structures.

Creep-fatigue analysis of the steel AISI type 316 component failure

The purpose of this work is to extend a typical creep-damage model in order to describe material behavior under variable thermal and mechanical loading in wide stress range. The model basis is creep constitutive law in form of hyperbolic sine stress response function proposed by Nadai. The constitutive law is extended to assume the damage process under creep and fatigue by the introduction of scalar damage parameters and appropriate evolution equations according to Kachanov-Rabotnov concept. The material constants for model are identified by fitting the experimental creep and low-cycle fatigue data for the steel AISI type 316 at the range of temperatures 500°C – 750°C. The development of such model is motivated by the well described failure case study of high-temperature components at unit 1 of Eddystone power plant, which have operated during 130520 hours under creep-fatigue interaction conditions. The main steam piping (MSP) from this power plant is selected for thermo-mechanical creep-fatigue analysis applying the proposed material model. The estimated values of damage parameters comply with the real location of the component failure and a scatter of experimental data on creep-fatigue interaction diagram.

Microplane modeling of cyclic behavior of concrete: a gradient plasticity-damage formulation

A microplane model is developed to simulate the behavior of concrete under cyclic loading conditions. Pure damage mechanics or pure plasticity models yield satisfactory results for concrete under monotonic loading but cannot capture correctly the unloading and reloading response. Therefore, coupling damage and plasticity is necessary for accurate constitutive modeling of concrete. The microplane model offers a straightforward approach to simulate induced anisotropy by formulating the material laws on many randomly oriented planes. Distinguishing between compression and tension response using the proper plastic yield function and damage laws is considered. Furthermore, gradient enhancement is employed to handle the pathological mesh sensitivity related to strain softening. The new formulation is implemented within a 3D finite element code and a numerical example is simulated and compared to experiments in order to evaluate the capabilities of the model.

Numerical damage assessment of Haghia Sophia bell tower by nonlinear FE modeling

In the present paper, the numerical damage assessment of the masonry bell tower called “Haghia Sophia” in Trabzon, Turkey is performed by nonlinear 3D finite element modeling. The behavior of bell tower is determined under several different conditions: nonlinear static analysis containing dead and wind loads and nonlinear seismic analysis. In addition to, an assessment of the tower’s stability with respect to the tilt of the tower is carried out by means of a nonlinear analysis. In the nonlinear dynamic analysis, the east–west component of 1992 Erzincan earthquake is used. Cracking and crushing of the masonry have been taken into account, as well as the influence of material nonlinearity. The numerical analysis has given a valuable picture of possible damage evolution, providing useful hints for the prosecution of structural monitoring. The displacement and stress fields, as well as the distribution of cracking have been calculated and compared to the actual distribution of fractures in the tower. It is seen from the numerical results that there is a good agreement with present damages of the bell tower.
