A Global Extremum Principle for the Analysis of Solids Composed of Softening Material
نویسنده
چکیده
An extremum principle is presented covering problems in solid mechanics equilibrium analysis for piecewise linear softening materials. Problems formulated according to this principle are expressed in a mixed “stress and deformation” form. The mechanics interpretation is limited according to linear deformation kinematics. More specialized models, such as an exfremumprinciple in mixed form for linearly elastic materials, an equivalent to the minimum complementary energy principIe, and a statement of a bound theorem of Limit Analysis are identified as special cases within the general formation. Numerical results are presented for two examples of one-dimensional structures made of inhomogeneous, softening material. The evolution of material degradation is demonstrated via a set of solutions obtained for increasing load. Each solution of the set is produced from a single application of a general purpose computer program for constrained nonlinear programming problems, operating on a finite element interpretation of the nonlinear continuum.

متن کاملFinite element analysis of elastic-plastic solids under Vickers indentation: surface deformation
Finite element modeling has been used to study the development of surface deformation during indentation with a Vickers indenter. A wide range of materials with different elastic modulus and yield stresses are examined. Results show that in a pyramidal indentation process, for a perfectly plastic material, sinking-in during loading can change to pile-up in unloading. This phenomenon depends on ...

متن کاملElliptic-Spline Solutions for Large Localizations in a Circular Blatz-Ko Cylinder Due to Geometric Softening
It has been known that geometric softening can induce strain localizations in solids. However, it is very difficult to analytically capture the localized deformation states within a threedimensional framework, especially when the deformation is large. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach, which resembles the use of a spline to approximate a curve, to construct analytical (asymptotic) so...
