Plastic collapse in non-associated hardening materials with application to Cam-clay

This paper presents a variational formulation for the analysis of plastic collapse conditions for a class of hardening materials that accounts for some non-associated flow laws such as the modified Cam-clay model of soils. In this framework, classical statical and kinematical principles of limit analysis do not hold. The variational principle is formulated for the general class of materials whose flow equations are derived from a kind of generalized potentials named bipotentials by de Saxcé.The plastic collapse phenomenon for hardening materials is considered first and formulated as a system of equations. In particular, the case of the usual modified Cam-clay model is analyzed. The paper follows with the proposal of a minimization principle whose solution is then related to the solution of the plastic collapse problem. We demonstrate the use of this minimum principle in a simple example of triaxial compression of a modified Cam-clay material. Finally, we discuss the particular form of the proposed variational formulation for the case of associated plasticity.     

CrMnFeCoNi纳米晶温度相关的拉伸行为研究

摘要：高熵合金是一种由多种主元元素组成的新型合金。实验研究表明等原子比CrMnFeCoNi高熵合金在低温下具有比室温更高的拉伸强度和断裂韧性。本文针对这一现象,利用分子动力学模拟对平均晶粒尺寸为6 nm的CrMnFeCoNi纳米晶在300、200和77 K下分别进行拉伸模拟。模拟研究揭示了纳米尺度CrMnFeCoNi高熵合金力学行为的温度效应和强韧机理。微结构演化分析表明：低温下,塑性变形阶段,滑移系开动的较少,位错滑移所受的阻力越大,屈服强度和抗拉强度越大;模型破坏时,孔洞缺陷形核较慢,更多孔洞缺陷演化成断口,更多的断口分摊拉伸应变,使得高熵合金纳米晶的低温韧性更好。     

Finite-element formulations for problems of large elastic-plastic deformation

An Eulerian finite element formulation is presented for problems of large elastic-plastic flow. The method is based on Hill's variational principle for incremental deformations, and is ideally suited to isotropically hardening Prandtl-Reuss materials. Further, the formulation is given in a manner which allows any conventional finite element program, for “small strain” elastic-plastic analysis, to be simply and rigorously adapted to problems involving arbitrary amounts of deformation and arbitrary levels of stress in comparison to plastic deformation moduli. The method is applied to a necking bifurcation analysis of a bar in plane-strain tension.The paper closes with a unified general formulation of finite element equations, both Lagrangian and Eulerian, for large deformations, with arbitrary choice of the conjugate stress and strain measures. Further, a discussion is given of other proposed formulations for elastic-plastic finite element analysis at large strain, and the inadequacies of some of these are commented upon.     

Dynamic plastic behavior of structures under impact loading investigated by the extended hamilton's principle

We propose the extended Hamilton's principle to investigate the dynamic plastic behavior of a beam or a plate under an impact loading. Material is assumed to be rigid perfectly plastic. The impact loading is given in the form of initial velocity. Good agreement between our numerical solutions and experimental results done by Parkes and Jones indicates that the proposed variational method is a powerful approximation method for the dynamic plasticity analysis. The effect of strain-rate sensitivity on the permanent deflection of a plate is investigated in some detail. Instead of nonlinear differential equations, nonlinear algebraic equations are solved in the proposed method.     

GURTIN VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE AND FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION FOR DYNAMICAL PROBLEMS OF FLUID-SATURATED POROUS MEDIA

Based on the theory of porous media,a general Gurtin variational principle for theinitial boundary value problem of dynamical response of fluid-saturated elastic porous media isdeveloped by assuming infinitesimal deformation and incompressible constituents of the solid andfluid phase.The finite element formulation based on this variational principle is also derived.Asthe functional of the variational principle is a spatial integral of the convolution formulation,thegeneral finite element discretization in space results in symmetrical differential-integral equationsin the time domain.In some situations,the differential-integral equations can be reduced to sym-metrical differential equations and,as a numerical example,it is employed to analyze the reflectionof one-dimensional longitudinal wave in a fluid-saturated porous solid.The numerical results canprovide further understanding of the wave propagation in porous media.

A new hybrid stress element method for the analysis of elastoplastic solids

Based on a modified Hellinger/Reissner variational principle which includes the equivalent stress, equivalent plastic strain and non-conforming displacement increments as independent variables, a quadrilateral isoparametric hybrid stress element for the analysis of elastoplastic problem is proposed. By this formulation, the yield criterion and flow rule are satisfied in an average sense and greater accuracy can be obtained by using non-conforming displacement. A numerical example is presented to show that the present model has high accuracy and computational effectiveness.This project is supported by the Natural Science Foundation of the State Education Commission.

Variational multiscale analysis of elastoplastic deformation using meshfree approximation

A variational multiscale method has been presented for efficient analysis of elastoplastic deformation problems. Severe deformation occurs in plastic region and leads to high gradient displacement. Therefore, solution needs to be refined to properly capture local deformation in plastic region. In this work, scale decomposition based on variational formulation is presented. A coarse scale and a fine scale are introduced to represent global and local behavior, respectively. The displacement is decomposed into a coarse and a fine scale. Subsequently the problem is also decomposed into a coarse and a fine scale from the variational formulation. Each scale variable is approximated using meshfree method. Adaptivity can easily and nicely be implemented in meshfree method. As a method of increasing resolution, extrinsic enrichment of partition of unity is used. Each scale problem is solved iteratively and conversed results are obtained consequently. Iteration procedure is indispensable for the elastoplastic deformation analysis. Therefore iterative solution procedure of each scale problem is naturally adequate. The proposed method is applied to the Prandtl’s punch test and shear band problem. The results are compared with those of other methods and the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated.

Variational method for solving problems of the plasticity of compressible media

Variational methods used in the theory of plastic flow are formulated on the assumption of the incompressibility of the deformable medium. In solving problems of the mechanics of soils and friable media and technological problems of the plastic shaping of uncompacted materials it is very important to take account of irreversible volumetric change. Extremum and variational theorems are proved in [1, 2] for rigid-plastic and viscoplastic expanding bodies. A variational equation equivalent to a complete system of differential equations is derived for a compressible plastic body.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 5, pp. 153–155, September–October, 1977.     

A variational formulation of the coupled thermo-mechanical boundary-value problem for general dissipative solids

A variational formulation of the coupled thermo-mechanical boundary-value problem for general dissipative solids is presented. The coupled thermo-mechanical boundary-value problem under consideration consists of the equilibrium problem for a deformable, inelastic and dissipative solid with the heat conduction problem appended in addition. The variational formulation allows for general dissipative solids, including finite elastic and plastic deformations, non-Newtonian viscosity, rate sensitivity, arbitrary flow and hardening rules, as well as heat conduction. We show that a joint potential function exists such that both the conservation of energy and the balance of linear momentum equations follow as Euler-Lagrange equations. The identification of the joint potential requires a careful distinction between equilibrium and external temperatures, which are equal at equilibrium. The variational framework predicts the fraction of dissipated energy that is converted to heat. A comparison of this prediction and experimental data suggests that α-titanium and Al2024-T conform to the variational framework.

Variational formulation of the static Levinson beam theory

In this communication, we provide a consistent variational formulation for the static Levinson beam theory. First, the beam equations according to the vectorial formulation by Levinson are reviewed briefly. By applying the Clapeyron's theorem, it is found that the stresses on the lateral end surfaces of the beam are an integral part of the theory. The variational formulation is carried out by employing the principle of virtual displacements. As a novel contribution, the formulation includes the external virtual work done by the stresses on the end surfaces of the beam. This external virtual work contributes to the boundary conditions in such a way that artificial end effects do not appear in the theory. The obtained beam equations are the same as the vectorially derived Levinson equations. Finally, the exact Levinson beam finite element is developed.
