EFFECT OF STRESS-STRAIN CURVE OF MATERIAL ON SOLUTION OF PLANE-STRESS PROBLEMS WITH LARGE PLSTIC DEFORMATION

本文首先将以前所得到的关于两个轴对称塑性平面应力问题(薄圆环和旋转盘)的有关方程和计算结果作了一个简单的叙述.这些计算结果是根据两种不同硬化特性的材料和一种理想塑性材料的应力应变曲线在不同负荷下计算得到的.这些结果指出这三种不同材料的应力应变曲线和负荷对于这两个问题的主应力比值和比例应变的影响很小,而对于比例应力的影响则很大.之后,分析了二维的塑性平面应力问题的方程;这些方程考虑了大应变,但不包括体积力(body force).分析这些方程中的包括材料应力应变曲线项和载荷数项的结果,认为假若在边界上的主应力的比值和比例应变不变,则材料的应力应变曲线和载荷对于主应力比值和比例应变的分布的影响可能不大,而对于比例应力的影响则很大.这种边界条件在实际问题中的普通加减下,满足的可能想是很大的.薄圆环和旋转盘的边界条件及所得的结果和这分析的结果是完全一致的.从这些结果并可提出一个简单而相当准确的近似解,最后并将本文所得的结果和依留辛(Ильюшии)的理论——关于小应变下三维问题形变理论的应用条件——作了比较.

不同应力分量下广义开尔文模型粘性系数探讨

对不同应力分量下的广义开尔文模型应力应变关系进行了研究,推导了在不同应力分量下的广义开尔文模型的粘性应变增量计算式;通过对这些粘性应变增量计算式的比较分析,得到结论:对于线性粘弹性模型,当应力张量引起粘性变形的规律与应力偏量和球应力分别引起粘性变形的规律相同时,它们的系数满足关系式Ek/ηk=Gsk/ηsk=Kmk/ηmk;否则,这个关系式不成立.现有文献采用应力张量表示的粘性变形有限元计算式隐含假定了球应力与应力偏量产生的粘性变形规律相同.对于复杂的工程材料而言,这种假定并不总是合适的.这在工程问题粘性分析时值得注意.     

Constitutive potential for void-containing nonlinear materials and void growth

Based on an analysis of the deformation of an isolated void in a finite nonlinear viscous material, we establish the constitutive potentials for voided nonlinearly viscous materials, from which the related curves of the macroscopic stress, the average flow stress of the matrix material and the void volume fraction f are derived. However, the theory applies equally well to small strain, rate-independent J₂ deformation theory solid. By considering the effects of the strain-hardening directly, a modifies Gurson equation are developed. Finally, we calculate the void relative growth-rates for the nonlinear materials, and in good agreement with existed numerical results.     

Acoustomechanical constitutive theory for soft materials

Acoustic wave propagation from surrounding medium into a soft material can generate acoustic radiation stress due to acoustic momentum transfer inside the medium and material, as well as at the interface between the two. To analyze acoustic-induced deformation of soft materials, we establish an acoustomechanical constitutive theory by com-bining the acoustic radiation stress theory and the nonlinear elasticity theory for soft materials. The acoustic radiation stress tensor is formulated by time averaging the momen-tum equation of particle motion, which is then introduced into the nonlinear elasticity constitutive relation to construct the acoustomechanical constitutive theory for soft materials. Considering a specified case of soft material sheet subjected to two counter-propagating acoustic waves, we demonstrate the nonlinear large deformation of the soft material and ana-lyze the interaction between acoustic waves and material deformation under the conditions of total reflection, acoustic transparency, and acoustic mismatch.     

Unified elastoplastic finite difference and its application

Two elastoplastic constitutive models based on the unified strength theory (UST) are established and implemented in an explicit finite difference code, fast Lagrangian analysis of continua (FLAC/FLAC3D), which includes an associated/non-associated flow rule, strain-hardening/softening, and solutions of singularities. Those two constitutive models are appropriate for metallic and strength-different (SD) materials, respectively. Two verification examples are used to compare the computation results and test data using the two-dimensional finite difference code FLAC and the finite element code ANSYS, and the two constitutive models proposed in this paper are verified. Two application examples, the large deformation of a prismatic bar and the strain-softening behavior of soft rock under a complex stress state, are analyzed using the three-dimensional code FLAC3D. The two new elastoplastic constitutive models proposed in this paper can be used in bearing capacity evaluation or stability analysis of structures built of metallic or SD materials. The effect of the intermediate principal stress on metallic or SD material structures under complex stress states, including large deformation, three-dimensional and non-association problems, can be analyzed easily using the two constitutive models proposed in this paper.     

Theoretical study of void closure in nonlinear plastic materials

Void closing from a spherical shape to a crack is investigated quantitatively in the present study. The constitutive relation of the Void-free matrix is assumed to obey the Norton power law. A representative volume element （RVE） which includes matrix and void is employed and a Rayleigh-Ritz procedure is developed to study the deformation-rates of a spherical void and a penny-shaped crack. Based on an approximate interpolation scheme, an analytical model for void closure in nonlinear plastic materials is established. It is found that the local plastic flows of the matrix material are the main mechanism of void deformation. It is also shown that the relative void volume during the deformation depends on the Norton exponent, on the far-field stress triaxiality, as well as on the far-field effective strain. The predictions of void closure using the present model are compared with the corresponding results in the literature, showing good agreement. The model for void closure provides a novel way for process design and optimization in terms of elimination of voids in billets because the model for void closure can easily be applied in the CAE analysis.     

A constitutive theory for shape memory polymers. Part I: Large deformations

A constitutive theory is developed for shape memory polymers. It is to describe the thermomechanical properties of such materials under large deformations. The theory is based on the idea, which is developed in the work of Liu et al. [2006. Thermomechanics of shape memory polymers: uniaxial experiments and constitutive modeling. Int. J. Plasticity 22, 279-313], that the coexisting active and frozen phases of the polymer and the transitions between them provide the underlying mechanisms for strain storage and recovery during a shape memory cycle. General constitutive functions for nonlinear thermoelastic materials are used for the active and frozen phases. Also used is an internal state variable which describes the volume fraction of the frozen phase. The material behavior of history dependence in the frozen phase is captured by using the concept of frozen reference configuration. The relation between the overall deformation and the stress is derived by integration of the constitutive equations of the coexisting phases. As a special case of the nonlinear constitutive model, a neo-Hookean type constitutive function for each phase is considered. The material behaviors in a shape memory cycle under uniaxial loading are examined. A linear constitutive model is derived from the nonlinear theory by considering small deformations. The predictions of this model are compared with experimental measurements.

Void growth and cavitation in nonlinear viscoelastic solids

This paper discusses the growth of a pre-existing void in a nonlinear viscoelastic material subjected to remote hydrostatic tensions with different loading rates. The constitutive relation of this viscoelastic material is the one recently proposed by the present authors, which may be considered as a generalization of the non-Gaussian statistical theory in rubber elasticity. As the first order approx-imation, the above constitutive relation can be reduced to the “neo-Hookean” type viscoelastic one.Investigations of the influences of the material viscosity and the loading rate on the void growth, or on the cavitation are carried out. It is found that: (1) for generalized “inverse Langevin approximation” nonlinear viscoelastic materials, the cavitation limit does not exist, but there is a certain (remote) stress level at which the void will grow rapidly; (2) for generalized “Gaussian statistics” (neo-Hookean type) viscoelastic materials, the cavitation limit exists, and is an increasing function of the loading rate.The present discussions may be of importance in understanding the material failure process under high triaxial stress.     

Initial stresses in elastic solids: Constitutive laws and acoustoelasticity

On the basis of the nonlinear theory of elasticity, the general constitutive equation for an isotropic hyperelastic solid in the presence of initial stress is derived. This derivation involves invariants that couple the deformation with the initial stress and in general, for a compressible material, it requires 10 invariants, reducing to 9 for an incompressible material. Expressions for the Cauchy and nominal stress tensors in a finitely deformed configuration are given along with the elasticity tensor and its specialization to the initially stressed undeformed configuration. The equations governing infinitesimal motions superimposed on a finite deformation are then used to study the combined effects of initial stress and finite deformation on the propagation of homogeneous plane waves in a homogeneously deformed and initially stressed solid of infinite extent. This general framework allows for various different specializations, which make contact with earlier works. In particular, connections with results derived within Biot's classical theory are highlighted. The general results are also specialized to the case of a small initial stress and a small pre-deformation, i.e. to the evaluation of the acoustoelastic effect. Here the formulas derived for the wave speeds cover the case of a second-order elastic solid without initial stress and subject to a uniaxial tension [Hughes and Kelly, Phys. Rev. 92 (1953) 1145] and are consistent with results for an undeformed solid subject to a residual stress [Man and Lu, J. Elasticity 17 (1987) 159]. These formulas provide a basis for acoustic evaluation of the second- and third-order elasticity constants and of the residual stresses. The results are further illustrated in respect of a prototype model of nonlinear elasticity with initial stress, allowing for both finite deformation and nonlinear dependence on the initial stress.     

Strain gradient crystal plasticity analysis of a single crystal containing a cylindrical void

The effects of void size and hardening in a hexagonal close-packed single crystal containing a cylindrical void loaded by a far-field equibiaxial tensile stress under plane strain conditions are studied. The crystal has three in-plane slip systems oriented at the angle 60° with respect to one another. Finite element simulations are performed using a strain gradient crystal plasticity formulation with an intrinsic length scale parameter in a non-local strain gradient constitutive framework. For a vanishing length scale parameter the non-local formulation reduces to a local crystal plasticity formulation. The stress and deformation fields obtained with a local non-hardening constitutive formulation are compared to those obtained from a local hardening formulation and to those from a non-local formulation. Compared to the case of the non-hardening local constitutive formulation, it is shown that a local theory with hardening has only minor effects on the deformation field around the void, whereas a significant difference is obtained with the non-local constitutive relation. Finally, it is shown that the applied stress state required to activate plastic deformation at the void is up to three times higher for smaller void sizes than for larger void sizes in the non-local material.
