Failure analysis of a cracked plate based on endochronic plastic theory coupled with damage

چکیده
An anisotropic model of damage mechanics for ductile fracture incorporating the endochronic theory of plasticity is presented in order to take into account material deterioration during plastic deformation. An alternative form of endochronic (internal time) theory which is actually an elasto-plastic damage theory with isotropicnonlinear kinematic hardening is developed for ease of numerical computation. Based on this new damage model, a finite element algorithm is formulated and then employed to characterize the fracture of thin aluminum plate containing a center crack. A new criterion termed as YR-Criterion is proposed to define both the crack initiation angle and load. Experiments have been conducted to verify the validity of the proposed damage model and it is found that the theoretical crack initiation loads correspond closely with the measured values.

Three-dimensional fracture analysis of CT specimens with a ductile damage model based on endochronic plasticity theory
For many fracture problems of practical engineering importance, the three-dimensional effects are significant and a three-dimensional analysis for the problems is thus required. In this paper, an endochronic theory coupled with anisotropic damage is first established, which is actually an elasto-plastic damage theory coupled with isotropic-nonlinear kinematic hardening. The ductile damage evolu...
متن کاملAttractor Based Analysis of Centrally Cracked Plate Subjected to Chaotic Excitation
The presence of part-through cracks with limited length is one of the prevalent defects in the plate structures. Due to the slight effect of this type of damages on the frequency response of the plates, conventional vibration-based damage assessment could be a challenging task. In this study for the first time, a recently developed state-space method which is based on the chaotic excitation is ...
متن کاملA New Endochronic Approach to Computational Elastoplasticity: Example of a Cyclically Loaded Cracked Plate
In this paper, a methodology for finite-element elastoplastic analyses of structures subjected to cyclic loading, based on a new form of endochronic {internal time) plasticity theory, is presented. In the present version of the endochronic theory, the rate forms of the stress/strain relations (stated here explicitly for plane stress, plane strain, and three-dimensional cases) are entirely analo...
متن کاملA numerical and experimental study on buckling and post-buckling of cracked plates under axial compression load
Existence of cracks in industrial structures is one of the important causes of their failure, especially when they are subjected to important axial compressive forces that might lead to buckling. Therefore, it must be considered in stress analysis and designing and loading of such structures. In this paper, the buckling and post-buckling behaviors of stainless-steel cracked plates under axial c...

Based on a non classical plate theory, an analytical model is proposed for the first time to analyze free vibration problem of partially cracked thin isotropic submerged plate in the presence of thermal environment. The governing equation for the cracked plate is derived using the Kirchhoff’s thin plate theory and the modified couple stress theory. The crack terms are formulated using simplifie...
