Traditional Materials

The orthotropic frame is a reference frame which is tied to the matter. It can be used to get stresses in a frame which is initially along given directions (for example, axial stresses on a sheet metal), or for anisotropic reasons. By default, the fame is aligned on the global one.

Basic elastic law.

Basic thermoelastic law

The Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic law result in adding a viscous effect on the elastic material. The similar spring/damper model is shown at the figure below

The effect of viscosity is only impacting deviatoric stresses (all computations done on a finite time step $\Delta t$)

$$ \begin{cases} p^{1} = p^{0} + 3K {\Delta\epsilon}_{ii} \\ s^{1}_{ij} = s^{0}_{ij} + 2G {\Delta\hat{\epsilon}}_{ij} + \eta \frac{{\Delta\hat{\epsilon}}_{ij}}{\Delta t} \end{cases} $$

where $K$ and $G$ are compressibility and shear modulus.

The GeneralizedMaxwell viscoelastic model result in adding of up to now, maximum 2 visco-elastic Maxwell branches to the elastic material. The similar spring/damper model is shown at the figure below

Defining Maxwell viscous parameters from materials data (for each Maxwell branch):

$$ \begin{cases} \Gamma_{i} &= \frac{\mu_{i}} {2G}\\ \tau_{i} &= \frac{\eta_{i}} {\mu_{i}} \end{cases} $$

The stresses in each Maxwell branch consist in 2 effects :

1. the relaxation of previous time step stresses in this Maxwell branch
2. the stress modification due to strain increment ${\Delta\epsilon}_{ij}$

$$ \begin{cases} p^{1} &= p^{0} + 3K {\Delta\epsilon}_{ii} \\ \underline{s}^{1} &= \underline{s}_{E}^{1} + \underline{s}^{1}_{M1} + \underline{s}^{1}_{M2} \end{cases} $$ Stresses in each branch are computed using : $$ \begin{cases} \underline{s}_{E}^{1} &= \underline{s}_{E}^{0} + 2G {\Delta\hat{\underline{\epsilon}}} \\ \underline{s}^{1}_{M1} &= e^{(\frac{-\Delta t}{\tau_{1}})} \underline{s}^{0}_{M1} + \Gamma_{1} (1-e^{\frac{-\Delta t}{\tau_{1}}}) \frac{\tau_{1}}{\Delta t} 2G {\Delta\hat{\underline{\epsilon}}} \\ \underline{s}^{1}_{M2} &= e^{(\frac{-\Delta t}{\tau_{2}})} \underline{s}^{0}_{M2} + \Gamma_{2} (1-e^{\frac{-\Delta t}{\tau_{2}}}) \frac{\tau_{2}}{\Delta t} 2G {\Delta\hat{\underline{\epsilon}}} \\ \end{cases} $$

where $K$ and $G$ are compressibility and shear modulus, ${\Delta\underline{\epsilon}}$ is the stain increment during the time step $\Delta t$. these equations shown clearly the necessity to track history of the total stresses but also to each Maxwell branch stresses $\underline{s}^{1}_{M1}$ and $\underline{s}^{1}_{M2}$.

Elasto-visco-plastic law with isotropic hardening (Yield Stress to define $ \sigma_{yield}$ ), imposed temperature.

Stresses are integrated with a radial return method. The stiffness tangent matrix is analytic and numerical.

The yield stress must verify the constraint:

$$ f=\overline{\sigma}-\sigma_{yield}=0 $$

where $ \overline{\sigma}$ is the equivalent stress computed as a function of the plastic criterion, and $ \sigma_{yield} $ is the yield stress.

Stresses are integrated with a radial return method. The stiffness tangent matrix is analytic and numerical.

The yield stress must verify the constraint:

$$ f=\overline{\sigma}-\sigma_{yield}=0 $$

where $ \overline{\sigma}$ is the equivalent stress computed as a function of the Von Mises plastic criterion, and $ \sigma_{yield} $ is the yield stress.

Careful, here the TEMP parameter is not relevant anymore.

Thermomechanical calculation method :

• When the thermal expansion changes, an average value is computed over the time step is estimated to model this thermal expansion properly.
• If the heat capacity changes, an average value is computed to estimate properly the energy balance. An equivalent heat capacity can be used to take into account the latent heat (= heat capacity + latent heat).

Elasto-visco-plastic law with nonlinear isotropic mixed hardening (no Hill48), given temperature. The size of the plastic surface is defined by the Yield Stress.

Kinematic hardening are added to have a possibly quite complex resulting kinematic hardening. A maximum of five kinematic hardening laws are allowed (whether of the same type or a different one).

Stresses are integrated with a radial return method. The stiffness tangent matrix is analytic and numerical.

The yield stress must verify the constraint:

$$ f=\overline{\sigma}\left(\boldsymbol{\sigma},\boldsymbol{\alpha}\right)-\sigma_{yield}=0 $$

where $ \overline{\sigma} $ is the quivalent stress depending in the stress tensor $ \boldsymbol{\sigma} $ and of the backstresses $ \boldsymbol{\alpha} $, and where $ \sigma_{yield} $ is the Yield Stress.

This law, a thermomechanical elasto-visco-plastic law with mixed hardening, is the thermal version of the EvpMixtHHypoMaterial law. The thermal part of the law is identical to the one of the isotropic hardening law.

Physical parameters of the kinematic hardening laws can of course depend on the temperature.

• If the heat capacity changes, an average value is computed to estimate properly the energy balance. An equivalent heat capacity can be used to take into account the latent heat (= heat capacity + latent heat).

The EvpIsoHDamageHypoMaterial class manages Gurson damage. To create such a law, the class EvpIsoHDamageHypoMaterial must be derived with a function updateElasticProperties.

Stresses are integrated with a radial return method. The stiffness tangent matrix is analytic and numerical.

The yield stress must verify the constraint:

$$ f=\overline{\sigma}-w\left(D,p\right)\sigma_{yield}-\sigma_{damage}=0 $$

where $ \overline{\sigma} $ is the equivalent stress computed as a function of Von Mises plasticy criterion, $ \sigma_{yield} $ is the plastic stress updated as a function of the isotropic hardening, $ \omega $ is the reduction of the yield stress due to damage, $ D $ is the damage variable $p$ the pressure and $ \sigma_{damage} $ the stress associated to material damage.

The update of elastic properties is based on Mori-Tanaka law.

$$ G_d = \dfrac{G(1-d)}{1+d\frac{6K+12G}{9K+8G}} K_d = \dfrac{4GK(1-d)}{3Kd+4G} $$

if $d<0.43$

$$ G_d = G(1-d)^{3.2} K_d = G(1-d)^{3.2} $$

else

$$ G_d = Ga_0(1-d)^{2.5} K_d = Ga_0(1-d)^{2.5} $$ where $a_0=0.7$ by default

Stresses are integrated with a radial return method. The stiffness tangent matrix is analytic and numerical.

The yield stress must verify the constraint:

$$ f=\dfrac{\overline{\sigma}}{1-h\cdot D}-\sigma_{yield}=0 $$

where $ \overline{\sigma} $ is the equivalent stress computed as a function of Von Mises plasticy criterion, $ \sigma_{yield} $ is the yield stress, $ D $ is the damage variable updated as a function of the damage evolution law. Moreover, $h$ is the Micro-Crack Closure Effect parameter that makes the distinction of the weakening effect of damage under compressive and tensile stress states, which is defined as: $$ h = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \text{DAMAGE_MCCE} &\mbox{, if } \dfrac{p}{J_2}< 0.0\\ 1.0 &\mbox{, if } \dfrac{p}{J_2}\geq 0.0\\ \end{array} \right. $$

The evolution law coupled with plasticity can be integrated three ways depending on the parameter TYPE_INTEG:

• TYPE_INTEG = 0 : iterative integration method (default)
• TYPE_INTEG = 1 : coupled integration method
• TYPE_INTEG = 2 : integration method following the Souza algorithm

Stresses are integrated with a radial return method. The stiffness tangent matrix is analytic and numerical.

The damage is a symmetric matrix $D$, the effective stress is computed from the stress tensor and from a fourth order tension $M$, which depends on $ H=(I-D)^{-1/2}$ and $ tr(D) $ : $ \tilde{\sigma}=M:\sigma$ and of $ \eta $, a parameter (double, at least equal to 1.0 - makes a material isotropic - usually taken as à 3.0 for traditional materials) (see Lemaitre, 2000 (equations 7 and 70) for information on $ M $).

The yield stress must verify the constraint:

$$ f=\overline{\sigma}_{eq}-\sigma_{yield}=0 $$

where $ \overline{\sigma}_{eq} $ is the equivalent stress computed as a function of Von Mises plasticy criterion (computed for $ \overline{\sigma} $ and not $ \sigma $), $ \sigma_{yield} $ is the yield stress.

$ H $ is the main damage variable, updated as a function of the damage evolution law.

The damage $D$ is initially diagonal.
