Two-scale Homogenization for a Model in Strain Gradient Plasticity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the tool of two-scale convergence, we provide a rigorous mathematical setting for the homogenization result obtained by Fleck and Willis (J. Mech. Phys. Solids, 2004) concerning the effective plastic behaviour of a strain gradient composite material. Moreover, moving from deformation theory to flow theory, we prove a convergence result for the homogenization of quasistatic evolutions in the presence of isotropic linear hardening.

A consistent homogenization theory and the numerical implementation of a higher order plasticity model from meso to macro
Classical plasticity models, being scale independent, cannot capture any size depedent behavior. A remedy is to adopt a gradient plasticity model at the sub-granular (meso) scale to account for the different micro-processes leading to the various size effects. In this contribution, we adopt, at the meso scale, the isotropic gradient plasticity model in [1] which incorporated the plasticity rota...
متن کاملComparison of two integration schemes for a micropolar plasticity model
Micropolar plasticity provides the capability to carry out post-failure simulations of geo-structures due to microstructural considerations and embedded length scale in its formulation. An essential part of the numerical implementation of a micropolar plasticity model is the integration of the rate constitutive equations. Efficiency and robustness of the implementation hinge on the type of int...

متن کاملA Strain Range Dependent Cyclic Plasticity Model
Hysteresis loop curves are highly important for numerical simulations of materials deformation under cyclic loadings. The models mainly take account of only the tensile half of the stabilized cycle in hysteresis loop for identification of the constants which don’t vary with accumulation of plastic strain and strain range of the hysteresis loop. This approach may be quite erroneous particularly ...
متن کاملConstitutive Model for Multi-laminate Induced Anisotropic Double Hardening Elastic-plasticity of Sand
A constitutive multi-laminate based elastic-plastic model developed to be capable of accounting induced anisotropic behavior of granular material such as sand. The fabric feature or grain orientation characteristic effects through medium are considered in a rational way under any complex stress path, including cyclic loading. The salient feature of the developed model is a non-associative on pl...
