Large Strain Plasticity (large + strain_plasticity)
Selected AbstractsA basic thin shell triangle with only translational DOFs for large strain plasticityINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING, Issue 1 2001Fernando G. Flores Abstract A simple finite element triangle for thin shell analysis is presented. It has only nine translational degrees of freedom and is based on a total Lagrangian formulation. Large strain plasticity is considered using a logarithmic strain,stress pair. A plane stress isotropic behaviour with an additive decomposition of elastic and plastic strains is assumed. A hyperelastic law is considered for the elastic part while for the plastic part a von Mises yield function with non-linear isotropic hardening is adopted. The element is an extension of a previous similar rotation-free triangle element based upon an updated Lagrangian formulation with hypoelastic constitutive law. The element termed BST (for basic shell triangle) has been implemented in an explicit (hydro-) code adequate to simulate sheet-stamping processes and in an implicit static/dynamic code. Several examples are shown to assess the performance of the present formulation. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Bernaud The formulation of the poroelastoplastic constitutive equations at large strains of a fully saturated material is performed focusing on the usually ignored influence of large strain plasticity on the poroelastic properties. A micromechanics approach allows to take into account the evolution of the microstructure geometry which in turn induces a coupling between elasticity and plasticity. Such a coupling results in an additional term in the macroscopic Cauchy stress rate equation derived from inclusion-based estimates that leads to a modified Jaumann derivative. The pressure rate equation is also analysed. The finite element discretization of finite poroplasticity is then presented taking into account the elasticity,plasticity coupling. Application to the consolidation situation shows that the coupling may lead to non-negligible effects. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] An objective incremental formulation for the solution of anisotropic elastoplastic problems at finite strainINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, Issue 12 2001S. Chatti Abstract This paper presents an objective formulation for the anisotropic elastic,plastic problems at large strain plasticity. The constitutive equations are written in a rotating frame. The multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient is adopted and the formulation is hyperelastic based. Since no stress rates are present and the incremental constitutive law was formulated in a rotating frame, the formulation is numerically objective in the time integration. Explicit algorithm was proposed and has been optimized with regard to stability and accuracy. The incremental law was integrated in fast Lagrangian analysis of continua (FLAC) method to model anisotropic elastic,plastic problems at finite strain. Structural tests are carried out for isotropic and orthotropic materials. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
