This paper presents the parametric variational principle for Perzyna model which isone of the main constitutive relations of viscoplasticity.The principle,by which the potentialenergy function is minimized under a constrained condition transformed by the constitutiverelations of viscoplasticity,is free from the bound of Drucker’s postulate of plastic flow andconsequently suitable for solving the nonassociated plastic flow problems.Furthermore,the paper has proven the presented principle and discussed the creep problem.     

A combined parametric quadratic programming and precise integration method based dynamic analysis of elastic-plastic hardening/softening problems

The objective of the paper is to develop a new algorithm for numerical solution of dynamic elastic-plastic strain hardening/softening problems. The gradient dependent model is adopted in the numerical model to overcome the result mesh-sensitivity problem in the dynamic strain softening or strain localization analysis. The equations for the dynamic elastic-plastic problems are derived in terms of the parametric variational principle, which is valid for associated, non-associated and strain softening plastic constitutive models in the finite element analysis. The precise integration method, which has been widely used for discretization in time domain of the linear problems, is introduced for the solution of dynamic nonlinear equations. The new algorithm proposed is based on the combination of the parametric quadratic programming method and the precise integration method and has all the advantages in both of the algorithms. Results of numerical examples demonstrate not only the validity, but also the advantages of the algorithm proposed for the numerical solution of nonlinear dynamic problems.

Mixed energy method for solution of quadratic programming problems and elastic-plastic analysis of truss structures

A new algorithm for the solution of quadratic programming problems is put forward in terms of the mixed energy theory and is further used for the incremental solution of elastic-plastic truss structures. The method proposed is different from the traditional one, for which the unknown variables are selected just in one class such as displacements or stresses. The present method selects the variables in the mixed form with both displacement and stress. As the method is established in the hybrid space, the information found in the previous incremental step can be used for the solution of the present step, making the algorithm highly efficient in the numerical solution process of quadratic programming problems. The results obained in the examples of the elastic-plastic solution of the truss structures verify what has been predicted in the theoretical analysis.

PARAMETRIC VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE BASED ELASTIC-PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF HETEROGENEOUS MATERIALS WITH VORONOI FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

The Voronoi cell finite element method (VCFEM) is adopted to overcome the limitations of the classic displacement based finite element method in the numerical simulation of heterogeneous materials. The parametric variational principle and quadratic programming method are developed for elastic-plastic Voronoi finite element analysis of two-dimensional problems. Finite element formulations are derived and a standard quadratic programming model is deduced from the elastic-plastic equations. Influence of microscopic heterogeneities on the overall mechanical response of heterogeneous materials is studied in detail. The overall properties of heterogeneous materials depend mostly on the size, shape and distribution of the material phases of the microstructure. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the method developed.

Numerical simulation of contact problems in vane machinery by a parametric quadratic programming method

Interference fits are widely used for connecting impeller and shaft assembly that are forced together slowly by pressing. The interference fit design ensures stable balance behavior and allows for positive contact between the impeller and shaft assembly throughout the range of operating speeds. In addition to maintaining radial contact, sufficient net radial interface pressure must remain in order to transmit torque when the rotational speed is very high. Therefore, the interference fit between the impeller and the shaft assembly is one of the most important factors influencing the performance of the turbo unit in the design of turbocharger compressor. A suitable fit tolerance needs to be considered in the structural design. A locomotive-type turbocharger compressor with 24 blades under combined centrifugal and interference fit loading is used for the analysis. The finite-element (FE) parametric quadratic programming (PQP) method developed based on the parametric variational principle (PVP) is used for the analysis of the stress distribution in the three-dimensional (3D) contact problem of impeller. The advantages of the parametric programming method compared with conventional approaches are that the penalty factors can be canceled and that solutions can be obtained directly without tedious iterative procedures such as the general incremental iterative method. To save time in the computation, a~multi-substructure technique is adopted for structural modeling. This not only simplifies the calculation, but also provides a convenient service for process computer-aided design (CAD) by means of FE simulation. The effects of the fit tolerance, coefficient of friction and rotational speed (centrifugal force), wall thickness of the shaft sleeve and the contact stress on the interference-fitting surfaces are studied in detail in the numerical computation. It is found that a nonuniform initial amount of interference in the structural design avoids the relative displacement generated and ensures uniformity of the contact stress. To assure quality of press-fitting, the amount of interference between the shaft sleeve and shaft should be strictly controlled to avoid the rapid increase of the contact stress. The numerical results demonstrate the high accuracy and good convergence of the algorithm presented here, which provides an effective approach that achieves more-reliable interference-fitted connections and more-precise assembly accuracy with lower manufacturing cost in the structural design.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF TWO-POINT CONTACT BETWEEN WHEEL AND RAIL

The elastic-plastic contact problem with rolling friction of wheel-rail is solved using the FE parametric quadratic programming method. Thus, the complex elastic-plastic contact problem can be calculated with high accuracy and efficiency, while the Hertz＇s hypothesis and the elastic semi-space assumption are avoided. Based on the ‘one-point＇ contact calculation of wheel-rail, the computational model of ‘two-point＇ contact are established and calculated when the wheel flange is close to the rail. In the case of ‘two-point＇ contact, the changing laws of wheelrail contact are introduced and contact forces in various load cases are carefully analyzed. The main reason of wheel flange wear and rail side wear is found. Lubrication computational model of the wheel flange is constructed. Comparing with the result without lubrication, the contact force between wheel flange and rail decreases, which is beneficial for reducing the wear of wheel-rail.

Coupled viscoplasticity damage constitutive model for concrete materials

A coupled viscoplasticity damage constitutive model for concrete materials is developed within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics.Simultaneously the Helmholtz free energy function and a non-associated flow potential function are given, which include the internal variables of kinematic hardening,isotropic hardening and dam- age.Results from the numerical simulation show that the model presented can describe the deformation properties of the concrete without the formal hypotheses of yield criterion and failure criteria,such as the volume dilatancy under the compression,strain-rate sen- sitivity,stiffness degradation and stress-softening behavior beyond the peak stress which are brought by damages and fractures.Moreover,we could benefit from the application of the finite element method based on this model under complex loading because of not having to choose different constitutive models based on the deformation level.     

A method of parametric quadrature programming for the problem of osmosis-solidification in elastoplastic rock-soil medium

The process of deformation in a medium of the kind of rock-soil is a dynamic process, because there is osmosis-solidification resulting in elastic-plastic deformation. In this paper, the parametric variational method and corresponding FEM are established for dealing with this problem. The problem is reduced to solving a quadratic programming problem with restrictive conditions (constitutive state equations). The choice of element form and the specific process of implementation are discussed. Two examples are given.

Quadratic programming algorithm for wall slip and free boundary pressure condition

Wall slip is often observed in a highly sheared fluid film in a solid gap. This makes a difficulty in mathematical analysis for the hydrodynamic effect because fluid velocity at the liquid–solid interfaces is not known a priori. If the gap has a convergent–divergent wedge, a free boundary pressure condition, i.e. Reynolds pressure boundary condition, is usually used in the outlet zone in numerical solution. This paper, based on finite element method and parametric quadratic programming technique, gives a numerical solution technique for a coupled boundary non‐linearity of wall slip and free boundary pressure condition. It is found that the numerical error decreases with the number of elements in a negative power law having an index larger than 2. Our method does not need an iterative process and can simultaneously gives rise to fluid film pressure distribution, wall slip velocity and surface shear stress. Wall slip always decreases the hydrodynamic pressure. Large wall slip even causes a null hydrodynamic pressure in a pure sliding solid gap. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Parametric variational principle and quadratic programming method for van der Waals force simulation of parallel and cross nanotubes

A parametric variational principle for van der Waals force simulation between any two adjacent nonbonded atoms and the corresponding improved quadratic programming method for numerical simulation of mechanical behaviors of carbon nanotubes are developed. Carbon nanotubes are modeled and computed based on molecular structural mechanics model. van der Waals force is simulated by the network of bars (called bar network) with a special nonlinear mechanical constitutive law (called generalized parametric constitutive law) in the finite element analysis. Compared with conventional numerical methods, the proposed method does not depend on displacement and stress iteration, but on the base exchanges in the solution of a standard quadratic programming problem. Thus, the model and method developed present very good convergence behavior in computation and provide accurate predictions of the mechanical behaviors and displacement distributions in the nanotubes. Numerical results demonstrate the validity and the efficiency of the proposed method.

Finite viscoplasticity of non-affine networks: stress overshoot under shear

A constitutive model is derived for the viscoplastic behavior of polymers at finite strains. A polymer is treated as an equivalent network of chains bridged by permanent junctions. The elastic response of the network is attributed to elongation of strands, whereas its plastic behavior is associated with sliding of junctions with respect to their reference positions. A new kinetic equation is proposed that expresses the rate of sliding of junctions in terms of the Cauchy stress tensor. Constitutive equations for an equivalent non-affine network are developed by using the laws of thermodynamics, where internal dissipation of energy reflects two processes at the micro-level: sliding of chains along entanglements and friction of strands between junctions. A similarity is revealed between these relations and the pom-pom model. The governing equations are applied to study stress overshoot at simple shear of an incompressible medium. Adjustable parameters in the stress-strain relations are found by fitting experimental data on polycarbonate melt reinforced with short glass fibers and polystyrene solution. Fair agreement is demonstrated between the observations and the results of numerical simulation.Received: 6 January 2003, Accepted: 28 April 2003     

弹塑性问题参数二次规划分析的隐式算法

传统的二次规划算法求解弹塑性问题时一般要经过对问题的线性化,如对屈服条件的一阶近似展开等,这在一定程度上会造成数值解的误差。为此,本文提出一种改进的策略,引入迭代与规划算法相结合的技术对问题进行处理,算法收敛平稳迅速,在大步长荷载增量下使算法的精度大大提高。由于本文的算法属于隐式算法,因而也就弥补了原二次规划算法求解弹塑性问题时只有显式算法的不足,从而达到了对原算法的进一步完善。
