A Thermoelastoplastic Material Model for Finite-Strain Cyclic Plasticity of Metals
Abstract
In this paper we present a thermodynamically consistent material model which is capable of modelling ductile-to brittle failure mode transition in ductile material undergoing deformations at high strain rates, and demonstrate the performance of the model in a numerical study using a fully coupled thermal-structural finite element analysis of a notched aluminium alloy specimen loaded in cyclic tension. The model is based on an objective representation of the deformation and stress measures and on a rate type constitutive equations. It does not only complies with the principles of material modelling, but it also uses constitutive equations, evolution equations and even "normality rules" during return mapping which can be expressed in terms of power conjugate stress and strain measures, or their objective rates.
