Johnson, Co-chair Professor Oliver M. O’Reilly Professor Filippos Filippou Fall 2016 Lagrangian and Eulerian Forms of Finite Plasticity Copyright 2016 by Giorgio Tantuan De Vera Abstract Lagrangian and Eulerian Forms of Finite Plasticity by Giorgio Tantuan De Vera Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor James Casey, Co-chair Over the past half century, much work has been published on the theory of elastic-plastic materials undergoing large deformations. However, there is still disagreement about certain basic issues. In this dissertation, the strain-based Lagrangian theory developed by Green, Naghdi and co-workers is re-assessed. Its basic structure is found to be satisfactory. For the purpose of applications, the theory is recast in Eulerian form. Additionally, a novel three-factor multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient is employed to define a unique intermediate configuration. The resulting theory of finite plasticity contains an elastic strain tensor measured from the intermediate stress-free configuration. The consti- tutive equations involve the objective stress rate of the rotated Cauchy stress, which can be expressed in terms of the rate of deformation tensor. In their general forms, the Lagrangian theory can be converted into the Eulerian theory and vice versa. Because the Green-Naghdi theory has a strain measure that represents the difference between total strain and plastic strain, rather than representing elastic strain, it does not lend itself to a physically realistic linearization for the case of small elastic deformations accompanied by large plastic defor- mations. The proposed theory is well suited to describe this case as it can be linearized about the intermediate configuration while allowing the plastic deformations to be large. Differences between the linearized Green-Naghdi theory and the new theory are illustrated for uniaxial tension and compression tests. 1 For Jimmy.

  • On the Geometric Structure of the Stress and Strain Tensors, Dual Variables and Objective Rates in Continuum Mechanics
    Arch. Mech., 44, ~ . pp. 527-556, Warszawa 1992 On the geometric structure of the stress and strain tensors, dual variables and objective rates in continuum mechanics C. SANSOUR (STUITGART) THE GEOMETRIC STRUCTURE of the stress and strain tensors arising in continuum mechanics is in­ vestigated. All tensors are cla-;sified into two families, each consists of two subgroups regarded as phystcally equivalent since they are isometric. Special attention is focussed on the Cauchy stress tensor and it is proved that, corresponding to it, no dual strain meac;ure exists. Some new stress ten­ sors are formulated and the physical meaning of the stress tensor dual to the Alman8i strain tensor is made apparent by employing a new decomposition of the Cauchy stress tensor with respect to a Lagrangian basis. It is shown that push-forward/pull-back under the deformation gradient applied to two work conjugate stress and strain tensors do not result in further dual tensors. The rotation field is incorporated as an independent variable by considering simple materials to be constrained Cosserat continua. By the geometric structure of the involved tensors, it is claimed that only the Lie derivative with respect to the flow generated by the rotation group (Green-Naghdi objective rate) can be considered ac; occurring naturally in solid mechanics and preserving the physical equivalence in rate form. 1. Introduction IN THE LAST DECADE the interest in the simulation of large solid deformations incorporat­ ing finite strains has been immensely growing. The inclusion of finite strain deformations necessitates a geometrically exact description of the strain measures and enforces a new look at the corresponding stress tensors.

  • Fatigue Characterization and Cyclic Plasticity Modeling of Magnesium Spot-Welds
    Fatigue Characterization and Cyclic Plasticity Modeling of Magnesium Spot-Welds by Seyed Behzad Behravesh A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Seyed Behzad Behravesh 2013 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Seyed Behzad Behravesh ii Abstract The automotive industry is adopting lightweight materials to improve emissions and fuel economy. Magnesium (Mg) alloys are the lightest of engineering metals, but work is required to assess their structural strength, especially for spot-welded applications. In the present research, fatigue behavior of magnesium spot-welds was characterized and compared with steel and aluminum spot-welds. A fatigue model was proposed to predict the failure location and crack initiation life in magnesium structures. The material under investigation, AZ31B-H24 Mg alloy, and its spot-welds were characterized from microstructural and mechanical points of view. Microstructure and hardness of the base metal (BM) and different regions in the spot-welds were studied. Monotonic testing of the BM demonstrated asymmetric hardening behavior under tension and compression. Under cyclic loading, the BM had an asymmetric hysteresis loop. Static behavior of spot-welds was studied with different specimen configurations. The effect of nugget size on the static peak load was similar to that of aluminum and less than steel.

  • Notes on Rate Equations in Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics
    Notes on rate equations in nonlinear continuum mechanics∗ Daniel Aubram† September 29, 2017 Abstract: The paper gives an introduction to rate equations in nonlinear continuum mechanics which should obey specific transformation rules. Emphasis is placed on the geometrical nature of the operations involved in order to clarify the different concepts. The paper is particularly concerned with common classes of constitutive equations based on corotational stress rates and their proper implementation in time for solving initial boundary value problems. Hypoelastic simple shear is considered as an example application for the derived theory and algorithms.

  • Mechanical Models in Nonparametric Regression
    IMS Collections From Probability to Statistics and Back: High-Dimensional Models and Processes Vol. 9 (2013) 5–19 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics,2013 DOI:⃝ 10.1214/12-IMSCOLL902 Mechanical models in nonparametric regression 1, 2, Vladim´ır Balek ∗ and Ivan Mizera † Comenius University and University of Alberta This note is devoted to an extrapolation of a solid-mechanic motif from nonparamet- ric regression (or, as it is often referred to, smoothing) and numerical interpolation, athemeoriginatingintheexpositionofspline-basedmethods.Theattentionis turned to the fact that a mechanical analogy, akin to that from elasticity theory for quadratic spline penalties, can be elucidated in plasticity theory for certain penal- ties of different type. It is this—in the (slightly altered) words of a referee, “what would happen if the metaphor underlying splines were replaced by a metaphor of plastic energy”—what is the objective of what follows; everything else, in particular discussion of the origins of (certain types of) splines, or an exhaustive bibliograph- ical account, is outside our scope. To give an idea what mechanical analogies we have in mind, let us start by the quote from the Oxford English Dictionary, referencing (univariate) “draftsman spline” as “a flexible strip of wood or hard rubber used by draftsmen in laying out broad sweeping curves”.Bivariatecasebringsmoresophistication:thedesignation “thin-plate spline” is regularly explained by a story about the deformation of an elastic flat thin plate—see page 139 of Green and Silverman [12]orpage108ofSmall [31]: if the plate is deformed to the shape of the function ϵf,andϵ is small, then the bending energy is (up to the first order) proportional to the smoothing penalty.

In Section 1 of this course you will cover these topics: Statically Determinate Force Systems Statically Determinate Stress Systems. Stress-Strain Relations. Torsion Topic : Statically Determinate Force Systems Topic Objective: After studying this topic the student should be able to: Define Newtons Law of Motion Definition/Overview: Force: In physics,WWW.BSSVE.IN a force is whatever that can cause an object with mass to accelerate. Force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. According to Newton's second law, an object with constant mass will accelerate in proportion to the net force acting upon it and in inverse proportion to its mass. An equivalent formulation is that the net force on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum it experiences. Forces acting on three-dimensional objects may also cause them to rotate or deform, or result in a change in pressure. The tendency of a force to cause angular acceleration about an axis is termed torque. Deformation and pressure are the result of stress forces within an object. www.bsscommunitycollege.in www.bssnewgeneration.in www.bsslifeskillscollege.in 2 www.onlineeducation.bharatsevaksamaj.net www.bssskillmission.in Key Points: 1. Newtonian mechanics Newton's second law of motion relates the concept of force with the time-derivative of momentum: . In 1687, Newton went on to publish his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, which used concepts of inertia, force, and conservation to describe the motion of all objects. In this work, Newton set out three laws of motion that to this day are the way forces are described in physics.

  • Rotations in Computational Solid Mechanics
    2 1 Vol. , , 49–138 (1995) Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering State of the art reviews Rotations in Computational Solid Mechanics S.N. Atluri† A.Cazzani†† Computational Modeling Center Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332-0356, U.S.A. Summary A survey of variational principles, which form the basis for computational methods in both continuum me- chanics and multi-rigid body dynamics is presented: all of them have the distinguishing feature of making an explicit use of the finite rotation tensor. A coherent unified treatment is therefore given, ranging from finite elasticity to incremental updated La- grangean formulations that are suitable for accomodating mechanical nonlinearities of an almost general type, to time-finite elements for dynamic analyses. Selected numerical examples are provided to show the performances of computational techniques relying on these formulations. Throughout the paper, an attempt is made to keep the mathematical abstraction to a minimum, and to retain conceptual clarity at the expense of brevity. It is hoped that the article is self-contained and easily readable by nonspecialists. While a part of the article rediscusses some previously published work, many parts of it deal with new results, documented here for the first time∗. 1. INTRODUCTION Most of the computational methods in non-linear solid mechanics that have been developed over the last 20 years are based on the “displacement finite element”formulation. Most problems of structural mechanics, involving beams, plates and shells, are often characterized by large rotations but moderate strains. In a radical departure from the mainstream activities of that time, Atluri and his colleagues at Georgia Tech, have begun in 1974 the use of primal, complementary, and mixed variational principles, involving point-wise finite rotations as variables, in the computational analyses of non-linear behavior of solids and structures.

Because weight reduction while maintaining functional requirements is one of the major goals in industries in order to save materials, energy and costs, etc. As the lightest structural alloys, magnesium alloys offer great potential to displace the most commonly used materials, because its density is about 2/3 of aluminum and 1/4 of steel. However, due to HCP (Hexagonal Close-Packed) crystal structure, magnesium provides only limited ductility for cold forming operations. But its formability improved obviously at elevated temperature. In this project, the material is AZ31- O magnesium alloy sheet, including 3% aluminum and 1% zinc.

  • On the Equivalence Between the Additive Hypo- Elasto-Plasticity and Multiplicative Hyper-Elasto- Plasticity Models and Adaptive Propagation of Discontinuities
    On the Equivalence between the Additive Hypo- Elasto-Plasticity and Multiplicative Hyper-Elasto- Plasticity Models and Adaptive Propagation of Discontinuities Yang Jiao Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Yang Jiao All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT On the Equivalence between the Additive Hypo-Elasto-Plasticity and Multiplicative Hyper- Elasto-Plasticity Models and Adaptive Propagation of Discontinuities Yang Jiao Ductile and brittle failure of solids are closely related to their plastic and fracture behavior, respectively. The two most common energy dissipation mechanisms in solids possess distinct kinematic characteristics, i.e. large strain and discontinuous displacement, both of which pose challenges to reliable, efficient numerical simulation of material failure in engineering structures. This dissertation addresses the reliability and efficiency issues associated with the kinematic characteristics of plasticity and fracture. At first, studies are conducted to understand the relation between two well recognized large strain plasticity models that enjoy widespread popularity in numerical simulation of plastic behavior of solids. These two models, termed the additive hypo-elasto-plasticity and multiplicative hyper-elasto-plasticity models, respectively, are regarded as two distinct strategies for extending the classical infinitesimal deformation plasticity theory into the large strain regime. One of the most recent variants of the additive models, which features the logarithmic stress rate, is shown to give rise to nonphysical energy dissipation during elastic unloading. A simple modification to the logarithmic stress rate is accordingly made to resolve such a physical inconsistency. This results in the additive hypo-elasto-plasticity models based on the kinetic logarithmic stress rate in which energy dissipation-free elastic response is produced whenever plastic flow is absent.
