Abstract

The principle of superposition of elastic and plactic strain rates in regions of plastic flow was hypothesized by Reuss in order to provide a smooth transition of the stresses between regions of elastic and elastic-plastic deformation. In this paper a generalization of this hypothesis is derived which allows for the formulation of more complex constitutive laws that can account for simultaneous plastic flow, fracture, fragmentation, and changes in porosity. Such processes can occur during impact, explosions and earthquakes. The possibility of analyzing such processes by finite element methods has been made possible by the advent of large scale computers, but most practioners agree that more general constitutive laws are required to account adequately for the complex flow processes involved.

Effect of finite rotation on a problem in plastic deformation

Conference Dienes, J K

The development of constitutive laws for large-strain plastic flow requires both an appropriate kinematic framework to characterize the deformation and a suitable set of physical relations between the selected measures of stress and strain rate. In this paper it is argued that deformation is best characterized by taking, as the measure of strain rate, the stretching (the symmetric part of the velocity gradient) and assuming that it can be represented as the sum of an elastic and plastic part. Though this is a natural extension (or perhaps only a restatement) of the 1930 hypothesis of Reuss, its consequences differ frommore »« less

Finite Deformation of Materials with an Ensemble of Defects

Technical Report Dienes, J K

The theory of large deformations developed here is closely related to continuum mechanics but it differs in several major respects, especially in considering the deformation associated with various types of physical behavior, making it possible to synthesize a general approach to formulating constitutive laws. One goal is to derive general concepts of strain, strain rate, stress, and stress rate that are somewhat more physics-based than in most standard works on continuum mechanics, and to demonstrate some new relations between these quantities. With these concepts it is possible to develop a generalized principle of superposition of strain rates (GSSR) that accountsmore »« less

Nanoindentation of Micrograins in Polycrystals under Multiaxial Stress: Control of Abrupt & Stochastic Plastic Events

Technical Report Hemker, Kevin ; Papanikolaou, Stefanos

Deforming objects in the world of the small has proven a much more complex task than just bending a common-sized object like a spoon. Over the last decade, it has become clear that the application of stress on micron-sized objects, such as micropillars, leads to abrupt and stochastic plastic strain jumps that do not satisfy Weibull statistics (as expected for uncorrelated defect yielding) but instead seem to follow highly wide, power-law distributions, pointing towards cooperative dislocation plasticity. Are power-law distributed plastic events the rule or the exception in crystals? If the rule, can we design protocols to control and suppressmore »« less

Verifying the Dependence of Fractal Coefficients on Different Spatial Distributions

Journal Article Gospodinov, Dragomir ; Geophysical Institute of Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Akad. G. Bonchev Str., bl.3, Sofia ; Marekova, Elisaveta ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

A fractal distribution requires that the number of objects larger than a specific size r has a power-law dependence on the size N(r) = C/r{sup D}propor tor{sup -D} where D is the fractal dimension. Usually the correlation integral is calculated to estimate the correlation fractal dimension of epicentres. A 'box-counting' procedure could also be applied giving the 'capacity' fractal dimension. The fractal dimension can be an integer and then it is equivalent to a Euclidean dimension (it is zero of a point, one of a segment, of a square is two and of a cube is three).

Scale bridging damage model for quasi-brittle metals informed with crack evolution statistics

Journal Article Larkin, Kevin ; Rougier, Esteban ; Chau, Viet Tuan ; ... - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids

Computationally efficient methods for bridging length scales, from highly resolved micro/meso-scale models that can explicitly model crack growth, to macro-scale continuum models that are more suitable for modeling large parts, have been of interest to researchers for decades. In this work, an improved brittle damage model is presented for the simulation of dynamic fracture in continuum scale quasi-brittle metal components. Crack evolution statistics, including the number, length, and orientation of individual cracks, are extracted from high-fidelity, finite discrete element method (FDEM) simulations and used to generate effective material moduli that reflect the material’s damaged state over time. This strategy allowsmore »« less
