The purpose of this paper is to propose numerical methods to determine the macroscopic bending strength criterion of periodically heterogeneous thin plates in the framework of yield design (or limit analysis) theory. The macroscopic strength criterion of the heterogeneous plate is obtained by solving an auxiliary yield design problem formulated on the unit cell, that is the elementary domain reproducing the plate strength properties by periodicity. In the present work, it is assumed that the plate thickness is small compared to the unit cell characteristic length, so that the unit cell can still be considered as a thin plate itself. Yield design static and kinematic approaches for solving the auxiliary problem are, therefore, formulated with a Love–Kirchhoff plate model. Finite elements consistent with this model are proposed to solve both approaches and it is shown that the corresponding optimization problems belong to the class of second-order cone programming (SOCP), for which very efficient solvers are available. Macroscopic strength criteria are computed for different type of heterogeneous plates (reinforced, perforated plates,…) by comparing the results of the static and the kinematic approaches. Information on the unit cell failure modes can also be obtained by representing the optimal failure mechanisms. In a companion paper, the so-obtained homogenized strength criteria will be used to compute ultimate loads of global plate structures. 相似文献

A homogenization procedure to estimate the macroscopic strength of nonlinear matrix-inclusion composites with different strength characteristics of the matrix and inclusions, respectively, is presented in this paper. The strength up-scaling is formulated within the framework of the yield design theory and the linear comparison composite (LCC) approach, introduced by Ponte Castaneda (2002) and extended to frictional models by Ortega et al. (2011), which estimates the macroscopic strength of composite materials in terms of an optimally chosen linear thermo–elastic comparison composite with a similar underlying microstructure. In the paper various combinations for the underlying material behavior for the individual phases of the composite are considered: The matrix phase can be a quasi frictional material characterized either by a Drucker–Prager-type (hyperbolic) or an elliptical strength criterion, which predicts a strength limit also in hydrostatic compression, while the inclusion phase either may represent empty pores, pore voids filled with a pore fluid, rigid inclusions, or solid inclusions, whose strength characteristics also maybe described by a Drucker–Prager-type or an elliptical strength criterion. For generating the homogenized strength criterion efficiently in such general cases of matrix-inclusion composites, a novel algorithm is proposed in the paper. The validation of the proposed strength homogenization procedure for selected combinations of strength characteristics of the matrix material and the inclusions is conducted by comparisons with experimental results and alternative existing strength homogenization models. 相似文献

A homogenization method for determining overall yield strength properties of thin periodic plates from their local strength properties is proposed within the framework of the yield design theory. The proposed method is applied to the determination of the in-plane and out of plane strength criterion for masonry described as a regular assemblage of infinitely resistant bricks separated by Coulomb interfaces.

The combined effects of void shape and matrix anisotropy on the macroscopic response of ductile porous solids is investigated. The Gologanu–Leblond–Devaux’s (GLD) analysis of an rigid-ideal plastic (von Mises) spheroidal volume containing a confocal spheroidal cavity loaded axisymmetrically is extended to the case when the matrix is anisotropic (obeying Hill’s [Hill, R., 1948. A theory of yielding and plastic flow of anisotropic solids. Proc. Roy. Soc. London A 193, 281–297] anisotropic yield criterion) and the representative volume element is subjected to arbitrary deformation. To derive the overall anisotropic yield criterion, a limit analysis approach is used. Conditions of homogeneous boundary strain rate are imposed on every ellipsoidal confocal with the cavity. A two-field trial velocity satisfying these boundary conditions are considered. It is shown that for cylindrical and spherical void geometries, the proposed criterion reduces to existing anisotropic Gurson-like yield criteria. Furthermore, it is shown that for the case when the matrix is considered isotropic, the new results provide a rigorous generalization to the GLD model. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed approximate yield criterion for plastic anisotropic media containing non-spherical voids is assessed through comparison with numerical results. 相似文献

Optimum design of laminated composite sandwich plates with both continuous (core thickness) and discrete (layer group fiber angles and thicknesses) design variables subjected to strength constraint is studied via a two-level optimization technique. The strength of a sandwich plate is determined in a failure analysis using the Tsai–Wu failure criterion and the finite element method which is formulated on the basis of the layerwise linear displacement theory. In the first level optimization of the design process, the discrete design variables are temporarily treated as continuous variables and the corresponding minimum weight of the sandwich plate is evaluated subject to the strength constraint using a constrained multi-start global optimization method. In the second level optimization, the optimal solution obtained in the first level optimization is used in the branch and bound method for solving a discrete optimization problem to determine the optimal design parameters and the final weight of the plate. Failure test of laminated composite foam-filled sandwich plates with different lamination arrangements are performed to validate the proposed optimal design method. A number of examples of the design of laminated composite foam-filled sandwich plates are given to demonstrate the feasibility and applications of the proposed method. 相似文献

Employing repeating unit cell (RUC) to represent the microstructure of periodic composite materials, this paper develops a numerical technique to calculate the plastic limit loads and failure modes of composites by means of homogenization technique and limit analysis in conjunction with the displacement-based finite element method. With the aid of homogenization theory, the classical kinematic limit theorem is generalized to incorporate the microstructure of composites. Using an associated flow rule, the plastic dissipation power for an ellipsoid yield criterion is expressed in terms of the kinematically admissible velocity. Based on nonlinear mathematical programming techniques, the finite element modelling of kinematic limit analysis is then developed as a nonlinear mathematical programming problem subject to only a small number of equality constraints. The objective function corresponds to the plastic dissipation power which is to be minimized and an upper bound to the limit load of a composite is then obtained. The nonlinear formulation has a very small number of constraints and requires much less computational effort than a linear formulation. An effective, direct iterative algorithm is proposed to solve the resulting nonlinear programming problem. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method have been validated by several numerical examples. The proposed method can provide theoretical foundation and serve as a powerful numerical tool for the engineering design of composite materials. 相似文献

This paper describes the results of calculations and experiments on the torsion of plates made of isotropic and transversely isotropic VT-20 and 1163T alloys with low resistance to creep strain in the direction perpendicular to the median surface. The numerical simulation results for plates of different thicknesses related to the class of rigid and flexible plates are compared using the pure bending theory and the finite element method. It is found that the curvature values are smaller in the case of deformation of a plate made of anisotropic material into a sign-variable saddle surface than in the case of a plate of isotropic material. The calculation in the assumption of pure bending provides an upper bound of the curvature difference in the deformation of plates made of transversely isotropic and isotropic materials. 相似文献

Upper bound limit analysis of active earth pressure with different fracture surface and nonlinear yield criterion 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Conventional calculations of static and seismic active earth pressures of soils on a retaining wall are formulated assuming the soils obeying a linear Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion. However, experimental evidences show that the strength envelopes of almost all geomaterials are nonlinear in nature over a wide range of normal stresses. In this paper, the strength envelope of the backfill behind a retaining wall is considered to follow a nonlinear yield criterion. A simple method is proposed for calculating the static and seismic active earth pressures acting against a retaining wall using a nonlinear yield criterion. This method is based on the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. Both translational and rotational fracture surfaces are employed in the formulation for calculating active earth pressures. Quasi-static representation of earthquake effects using a seismic coefficient concept is adopted for seismic active earth pressure calculations. Instead of using directly the actual nonlinear yield criterion, a linear Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion, which is tangential to the nonlinear yield criterion, is used to formulate the active earth pressure problem as a classical nonlinear programming problem. A nonlinear sequential quadratic programming algorithm is used to search for the maximum solution. In order to assess the validity of the proposed method, values of active earth pressures for different values of seismic coefficients and nonlinear parameters in the yield criterion are calculated and compared with solutions obtained using an extended Rankine’s active earth pressure theory. For the case of static active earth pressure, the upper bound solutions using the present method with a translational fracture surface are equal to the extended Rankine’s theoretical solutions and are slightly smaller than those obtained using the present method with a rotational fracture surface. For the case of seismic active earth pressure, numerical results obtained using the present method with a rotational fracture surface is very close to the extended Rankine’s theoretical solutions. A study is conducted to investigate the effects of the parameters in the nonlinear yield criterion on the active earth pressures. 相似文献

Dynamic plastic behavior of a rigid-plastic simply supported circular plate undermoderate partial uniformly distributed impulsive load is complemented by using a unified yieldcriterion which consists of a generic of convex piecewise linear yield criteria. Upper bound andlower bound plastic responses of the plate under rectangular pulse are obtained; responsebehavior of the plate with respect to the Mises criterion is derived by a proximal manner. Theinconstant circumferential moment distribution and the non-linear flow velocity distribution in theperiods corresponding to the two motion phases are suggested in this paper. Static and kinematicadmissibility of the dynamic plastic solutions is discussed and two types of moment profiles forthe plates under intense dynamic load are supposed for studying in the future. 相似文献

A lower bound approach to the yield loci of porous materials 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A lower bound approach is proposed for the first time to solve the macroscopic yield loci of porous materials. The results
are then compared with Gurson's upper bound yield loci and those of the experiments. It is shown that the present analysis
is much more in accordance with the experimental results than the Gurson's. 相似文献

The Prager-Shield associated displacement field method for optimal plastic design is extended to multi-component specific cost functions and multiple load conditions, and a lower bound theorem based on kinematic requirements only is introduced. Since any statically admissible stress field results in an upper bound, the proposed theorem provides a simple method for establishing bounds on the optimal cost. By a simple substitution of parameters into the general equations presented, the optimality criteria can be obtained for particular design problems. Examples of optimal fibre-reinforced plates are given. 相似文献

This paper aims at studying the effects of a nonuniform distribution of voids on the macroscopic yield response of porous media with a rigid-perfectly plastic matrix. For this purpose, a semi-analytical model, recently proposed by Bilger et al. [Bilger, N., Auslender, F., Bornert, M., Masson, R., 2002. New bounds and estimates for porous media with rigid perfectly plastic matrix. C. R. Mecanique 330, 127–132], is extended to more general situations where the local porosity can fluctuate. The microstructure is described by a generalized Hashin-type assemblage of hollow spheres and the distribution of the local porosity is obtained from a three-dimensional simulated microstructure. The matrix layer around the voids is discretized into concentric sub-layers so as to take better into account the plasticity gradient along the radial direction. Classical homogenization techniques then provide new self-consistent estimates and upper bounds for the macroscopic yield surface. These results are compared first to the predictions of the Gurson model and its extensions and then to numerical results derived from three-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) calculations carried out with the same material porosity distribution. A good agreement is obtained with the three-dimensional FFT calculations and with Gurson–Tvergaard's predictions even for high triaxiality and without fitting any parameter. Nevertheless, when the heterogeneous distribution of voids tends to form clusters, the proposed model fails to capture the properties of the macroscopic yield surface for large triaxiality factors. 相似文献

Accurate numerical homogenization necessitates the thorough determination of the Representative Volume Element (RVE). There exists several seminal works on the notion of the RVE in homogenization, its definitions and methods of determination for efficient computation of composite effective properties. The objective of the current work is to assess the ability of numerical RVE determination methods to deliver accurate effective properties of composite materials. This paper demonstrates that common and well-established RVE determination methods, based on studying the convergence rate of the effective properties with respect to the volume element size, are invalid for the case of composites reinforced by randomly oriented fibers and yield erroneous estimates of their effective properties. Following the failure of traditional RVE determination methods, we proposed a new RVE determination criterion that is not based on the average property stability, but its statistical variations. Our new proposed criterion has been shown to be more accurate than other criteria in computing the effective properties of composites for aspect ratios up to 60. Moreover, the proposed criterion does not necessitate a convergence study over the volume element size, hence reducing considerably the RVE determination cost. Finally, our work questions the validity of many published works dealing with composites including heterogeneities of high aspect ratios. 相似文献

This paper presents an analytical method for the analysis of the dynamic behavior of damaged plates. The proposed approach allows the derivation of mode shapes and corresponding curvature modes for plates with various kinds of defects. Damage is modeled as a localized reduction in the plate thickness. Both point and line defects are considered to model notches or line cracks and delaminations in the plate. Small thickness reductions are considered so that the dynamic behavior of the damage plate can be analyzed through perturbations with respect to the undamaged modes. Results are presented to demonstrate the sensitivity of the curvature modes with respect to the considered low damage levels. Also, the curvature modes are used for the estimation of the strain energy of the plate and for the formulation of a damage index which can be used to provide damage location and extent information. 相似文献

A numerical algorithm for strength analysis of plane structural elements with stress concentrators is developed using the
gradient strength criterion and the boundary-element method. As the first calculation test, the brittle fracture of a plate
with a circular hole in tension is evaluated. To verify the algorithm and to compare the results of analysis with experimental
data available in the literature, we consider symmetric and asymmetric problems of fracture of glass plates with a narrow
elliptic hole in tension and compression. For all the problems, the accuracy of numerical results is estimated by comparison
with analytical solutions. In comparison with the classical criteria, the use of the gradient strength criterion leads to
better agreement between theoretical estimates and experimental data.

Recent progress in instrumented nanoindentation makes it possible today to test in situ phase properties and structures of porous materials that cannot be recapitulated ex situ in bulk form. But it requires a rigorous indentation analysis to translate indentation data into meaningful mechanical properties. This paper reports the development and implementation of a multi-scale indentation analysis based on limit analysis, for the assessment of strength properties of cohesive-frictional porous materials from hardness measurements. Based on the separation-of-scale condition, we implement an elliptical strength criterion which results from the nonlinear homogenization of the strength properties of the constituents (cohesion and friction), the porosity and the microstructure, into a computational yield design approach to indentation analysis. We identify the resulting upper bound problem as a second-order conical optimization problem, for which advanced optimization algorithms became recently available. The upper bound yield design solutions are benchmarked against solutions from comprehensive elastoplastic contact mechanics finite element solutions and lower bound solutions. Furthermore, from a detailed parameter study based on intensive computational simulations, we identify characteristic hardness-packing density scaling relations for cohesive-frictional porous materials. These scaling relations which are developed for two pore-morphologies, a matrix-pore morphology and a polycrystal (perfect disordered) morphology, are most suitable for the reverse analysis of the strength parameters of cohesive-frictional solids from indentation hardness measurements. 相似文献
