Stress-driven solution to rate-independent elasto-plasticity with damage at small strains and its computer implementation

Numerical Analysis 2015-06-05 v1

Abstract

The quasistatic rate-independent damage combined with linearized plasticity with hardening at small strains is investigated. The fractional-step time discretisation is devised with the purpose to obtain a numerically efficient scheme converging possibly to a physically relevant stress-driven solutions, which however is to be verified a-posteriori by using a suitable integrated variant of the maximum-dissipation principle. Gradient theories both for damage and for plasticity are considered to make the scheme numerically stable with guaranteed convergence within the class of weak solutions. After finite-element approximation, this scheme is computationally implemented and illustrative 2-dimensional simulations are performed.
