Plasticity

Basic information about Plasticity

Submitted by Amit.Ranade on

Does anyone know of a simple book, approximately 50 pages or so, for plasticity?. I am looking for something that is similar to Morton Gurtin's "Topics in Finite Elasticty" published by SIAM. This book is an uncluttered treatment of finite deformation elasticity and was very useful for me during graduate work. I am NOT looking for 200-300 page texts, becasue I will never get around to reading them.

Size effects under homogeneous deformation of single crystals: A discrete dislocation analysis

Submitted by PJ Guruprasad on

 doi:10.1016/j.jmps.2007.03.009

Mechanism-based discrete dislocation
plasticity is used to investigate the effect of size on micron scale
crystal plasticity under conditions of macroscopically homogeneous
deformation. Long-range interactions among dislocations are naturally
incorporated through elasticity. Constitutive rules are used which
account for key short-range dislocation interactions. These include

Does anybody have a simple example Program of bounding surface model, or electronic version of books reports..

Hi, everyone

I just start my research on bounding surface model for soil mechanics. Does someone have documents about programming of bounding surface model for stress-strain behaviour with a piece of program? Thanks a lot for your help.

Initial stress and strain in ANSYS

Hi everybody,

 i?m simulating a manufacturing chain finite elements analysis. Every step of this chain have been developed by different software. I use ANSYS. Somoone know how to impose the initial strain and stress state deriving from previous simulations to my ansys model: I'm able to use INISTATE command but only stresses are imported, I loose initial strain info: are they important if my material is elasto plastic? how i can resolve the problem?

 

Thanks in Advance Michele

The factory idiom and material models

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

I'm leaving the US in a couple of days and will probably take a hiatus of a few months from iMechanica.  Before I leave, I want to tell you about a C++ idiom that eases the implementation and use of multiple material models in a computational mechanics code.

Drucker Prager plasticity model for ceramics

Submitted by I. Mijangos on

Hi everybody,

I am a phD student modelling the behaviour of the ceramics under nanoindentation using ABAQUS. I have read that Drucker Prager plasticity model is suitable for ceramics under indentation. To obtain these parameters ABAQUS users manual suggest doing a triaxial test, but I can not find any information relating triaxial test with ceramics (I only find it for soils and rock). Does anybody know another way  to obtain these parameters? Has anybody performed this test experimentally before?

 Thanks,

Dear all,

Do you have any reference about the theory of plasticity? Especially about flow theory and von Mises yield criterion?

For example if I have an effective stress - plastic strain relationship, and I after yielding, I increase my strain again, how can I obtain the increment of the plastic strain and the stress deviator tensor?

Thanks a lot.

Best,

Ray

Implementation of TRESCA yield certeria in ABAQUS plasticity material model using UMAT

Submitted by prashant sharma on

hi everybody.

 I am interested to implement  tresca failure criteria in my plastic material model (ABAQUS/standard) using UMAT subrountine which is avaiable in ABAQUS code but it is primaryly made for Mises failure , so i made few attempt to modified it for tresca , but it did not work out, so if anyone have any idea , please guide me. 

thanks
