1. Introduction
The main purpose of the mathematical material theory is to provide some general concepts useful in construction and analysis of appropriate constitutive relations (Truesdell and Noll , 1965; Haupt , 1996). In particular, any systematic study of competitive approaches to finite strain elasto-plasticity should be based on a set of sound principles. In this context, the following popular concepts and criteria have proved to be especially useful:
the principle of material objectivity or material frame-indifference (Noll , 1958; Truesdell and Noll , • 1965; Truesdell , 1969; Bressan , 1972; Svendsen and Bertram , 1999; Bertram and Svendsen , 2001; Muschik and Restuccia , 2008; Korobeynikov , 2008),
2 requirement of thermodynamic consistency (Coleman and Noll , 1963; Coleman , 1964; • Truesdell , 1969; Halphen and Nguyen Quoc Son , 1975),
prevention of the shear oscillatory response (Lehmann , 1972; Dienes , 1979; Nagtegaal and de Jong , • 1982),
prevention of the energy dissipation within the elastic range (Simo and Pister , 1984; • Bruhns et al. , 1999). In this study we introduce the notion of weak invariance of constitutive relations under arbitrary isochoric change of the local reference configuration. This weak invariance cannot be attributed to general principles of material modeling. Instead, we will demonstrate that it is a powerful tool of analysis and classification, especially useful within finite strain elasto-plasticity. We start by recalling that the local reference configuration is, in general, a fictitious con- figuration, set at will to designate material points in a unique manner. Hence, any arbitrary volume-preserving change of the local reference configuration is always possible since the trans- formed configuration can act as a new reference. The main idea of the paper is as follows. The constitutive models of elasto-plasticity can be subdivided into two major groups: those mod- els which are weakly invariant under arbitrary volume-preserving reference changes and those which do not fulfill this invariance. In order to get an intuitive insight into the weak invariance, we start with a simple example. First, let us consider the well-known constitutive relations governing a elastic-perfectly-plastic material behaviour in the geometrically linear setting. These relations include the classical Prandtl-Reuss kinematic equations ε = εe + εp, (1) where symmetric tensors ε, εe, εp stand for the total, elastic, and plastic strains, respectively. The isotropic Hooke’s law implies that the stress tensor σ is a linear function of εe σ ε εD = k tr( e)1 +2µ e . (2) Here, k > 0, µ > 0 are material parameters and ( )D represents the deviatoric part. The · Mises-Huber yield function with a constant yield stress K > 0 takes the form
f := σD 2/3K, (3) k k − where X := tr(XXT). A six-dimensional flowp rule is introduced in combination with the Kuhn-Tuckerk k constraints: p σD ε˙ = λ , (4) p p σD k k f 0, λ 0, fλ =0. (5) ≤ p ≥ p 3 Here, λp stands for the plastic multiplier. Within the local approach, the history of the total strain tensor ε(t) is given. The system of equations is closed by appropriate initial conditions imposed on plastic strains ε = ε0 , tr(ε0)=0. (6) p|t=t0 p p Note that the flow rule (4) is incompressible, which is a typical assumption in the context of metal plasticity. Thus, tr(ε ) 0. p ≡ Let us consider an arbitrary second-rank tensor ε0 = const such that tr(ε0) = 0. The system (1)—(6) has the following remarkable property. If the prescribed loading programm is shifted according to εnew(t) := ε(t) ε , (7) − 0 and the new initial conditions are obtained by the same shift
εnew = ε0 ε , (8) p |t=t0 p − 0 then the same stress response σ(t) is predicted by the constitutive euqations. Proof: In order to check this invariance property, we consider the following candidate function for the new plastic strain
εnew(t) := ε (t) ε . (9) p p − 0 Let us show that this candidate function corresponds to the new solution. For this candidate, it follows immediately from (7) and (9) that the elastic strains remain invariant
(1) (7),(9) (1) εnew(t) = εnew(t) εnew(t) = ε(t) ε (t) = ε (t). (10) e − p − p e Therefore, according to the Hooke’s law (2), the same stresses are predicted:
σnew(t)= σ(t), f new(t)= f(t). (11)
Thus, the Kuhn-Tucker conditions (5) are identically satisfied if we put
new λp (t) := λp(t). (12) εnew Moreover, the candidate function p (t) satisfies the initial condition (8). By differentiating εnew (9) with respect to time, it becomes obvious that p (t) satisfies the evolution equation: σD σnew D new (9) (4) (11),(12) new ( ) ε˙ = ε˙ p = λp = λ . (13) p σD p (σnew)D k k k k εnew εnew Therefore, the candidate p (t) is indeed a solution for the new local loading (t). It remains to recall that σnew(t)= σ(t). The assertion is proved
4 In the remainder of this paper, the aforementioned invariance of the stress response under the transformation (7) will be seen as a weak invariance. Here, the adjective “weak” points to the fact that an additional freedom in transformation of the initial conditions (8) weakens the restrictions imposed on the material model.1 In the next section, the notion of the weak invariance will be reformulated in the finite strain context. As an extension to finite strains, a weak invariance under isochoric change of the reference configuration will be introduced, and a proper transformation of the initial conditions (similar to (8)) will be a crucial part of this concept. Considering the generalization of small strain relations to finite strains, the following aspect should be taken into account. If the small strain relations are weakly invariant under the shift (7), one may expect that this invariance property will be inherited by the finite strain counterpart. In the modern literature on elasto-plasticity there exists a large variety of frameworks used to generalize the small strain relations (1)–(6) to finite strains (Xiao et al. , 2006). In this paper, some of the most popular approaches will be analysed from the viewpoint of the reference change. These approaches include the additive hypoelasto-plasticity with corotational stress rates (cf. Section 3), additive plasticity in the logarithmic strain space (cf. Section 4), and multiplicative hyperelasto-plasticity (cf. Section 5). In case of small strains and rotations, these approaches are reduced to the geometrically linear theory (1)–(6). It is shown that some of these models are weakly invariant under the reference change, but some of them not. Thus, different models can be categorized using the weak invariance as a criterion. Moreover, the weak invariance corresponds to a certain generalized material symmetry. Just like any other symmetry property, it brings new insights into our understanding of the underlying constitutive assumptions.
2. Weak invariance under the reference change Let T be the Cauchy stress tensor (also known as true stresses) at a certain material point and F be the deformation gradient from the local reference configuration to the current K configuration . The history of the deformation gradient from the initial state at t0 up to a K ′ ′ certain time instance t is captured by F(t ), t [t0, t]. Suppose that the statee of the material at t is uniquely determined by some initial data∈ . Thus, for simple materials in the sense of 0 Z0 Noll (1972) we obtain the following:
T(t)= F(t′), . (14) T′ 0 t0≤t ≤t Z
1Interestingly, the transformation (8) was previously considered in combination with the shift (7) by Rubin (2001) to question the status of the total strain as a state variable.
