To gain a better understanding about the influence of initial texture on deformation behaviour of sheet metals, an incremental-update formulation is adopted for implementing rate-dependent crystal plasticity model into the explicit finite element package, ABAQUS/Explicit. In this formulation, the configuration in the last increment serves as a reference frame, and the stress, grain orientation and hardening behaviour of crystal are updated at the end of each increment. Two user subroutines VUMAT are developed, respectively, for face-centred cubic and hexagonal close packed alloys due to different deformation mechanisms. Earing behaviours of aluminium sheet and AZ31 alloy sheet are simulated for model validation.

Principal influencing factors of the strength of rock mass with weak joints were studied in this paper. Dip angles of weak joints in addition with the confining pressure is studied based on strain-softening/hardening plasticity model. The broken mechanism from the perspective of plastic zone was analyzed. The strength of rock mass with weak joints is mainly under control of the joints occurrence, the joints dip and the rock strength, and great influenced by the confining pressure. A higher strength is obtained with a higher confining pressure, the broken mechanisms varies with different joints dips.

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Missouri-Columbia, Columbia MO 65211–2200, U.S.A. The effects of strain rate on the mechanical properties of carbon steel and plain concrete are investigated through a rate-dependent elasto-plasticity model and rate-dependent elasto-damage model, respectively. Continuum tangent stiffness tensors are derived for both models so that bifurcation analyses can be performed to identify the onset of material failure. Three-dimensional constitutive model solvers are designed and the numerical results are compared with the experimental data to verify the proposed models.
