In this work, a thermodynamically-consistent framework is used to formulate a non-associative finite strain anisotropic elastoplastic model fully coupled with anisotropic ductile damage. The finite strain assumption is considered using specific large strains kinematics based on multiplicative decomposition of the total transformation gradient and assuming a small elastic strains. The objectivity principle fulfillment is assumed using the well-known rotating frame formulation. The effective variables are defined to introduce the effect of the anisotropic damage on the other variables through the total energy equivalence assumption. The non-associative plasticity framework, for which equivalent stresses in yield function and in plastic potential are separately defined, allows better plastic anisotropy description. The evolution equations for overall dissipative phenomena are deduced from the generalized normality rule applied to the plastic potential while the consistency condition is still applied to the yield function. Applications are made to an RVE with generic material parameters by considering non-proportional loading paths. For each loading path the effect of the anisotropic plasticity on the damage evolution is studied in the context of finite strains.

In this article, the effects of plastic anisotropy and damage on ductile crack initiation (ductile failure) are studied in a thermodynamically consistent framework. First, isotropic and anisotropic continuum damage models of Lemaitre are modified to incorporate anisotropic plasticity. In the next stage, a subroutine is developed to add the damage formulation to Abaqus finite element package. A highly ductile material with anisotropic plastic behavior, API 5L X100 pipeline steel, is selected for this study. Finite element analyses are done to simulate isotropic/anisotropic plasticity coupled with isotropic/anisotropic damage. Finite element results are compared with the result of tests on smooth and notched specimens, and the effects of anisotropic plasticity, anisotropic damage, geometry changes, triaxiality in stress and their mutual effects and interactions on post yield behavior and crack initiation are studied.

The Lemaitre's continuum damage model is well known in the field of damage mechanics. The anisotropic damage model given by Lemaitre is relatively simple, applicable to nonproportional loads and uses only four damage parameters. The hypothesis of strain equivalence is used to map the effective stress to the nominal stress. Both the isotropic and anisotropic damage models from Lemaitre are implemented in an in-house implicit finite element code. The damage model is coupled with an elasto-plastic material model using anisotropic plasticity (Hill-48 yield criterion) and strain-rate dependent isotropic hardening. The Lemaitre continuum damage model is based on the small strain assumption; therefore, the model is implemented in an incremental co-rotational framework to make it applicable for large strains. The damage dissipation potential was slightly adapted to incorporate a different damage evolution behavior under compression and tension. A tensile test and a low-cycle fatigue test were used to determine the damage parameters. The damage evolution was modified to incorporate strain rate sensitivity by making two of the damage parameters a function of strain rate. The model is applied to predict failure in a cross-die deep drawing process, which is well known for having a wide variety of strains and strain path changes. The failure predictions obtained from the anisotropic damage models are in good agreement with the experimental results, whereas the predictions obtained from the isotropic damage model are slightly conservative. The anisotropic damage model predicts the crack direction more accurately compared to the predictions based on principal stress directions using the isotropic damage model. The set of damage parameters, determined in a uniaxial condition, gives a good failure prediction under other triaxiality conditions.

The shear stress–strain response of an aluminum alloy is measured to a shear strain of the order of one using a pure torsion experiment on a thin-walled tube. The material exhibits plastic anisotropy that is established through a separate set of biaxial experiments on the same tube stock. The results are used to calibrate Hill's quadratic anisotropic yield function. It is shown that because in simple shear the material axes rotate during deformation, this anisotropy progressively reduces the material tangent modulus. A parametric study demonstrates that the stress–strain response extracted from a simple shear test can be influenced significantly by the anisotropy parameters. It is thus concluded that the material axes rotation inherent to simple shear tests must be included in the analysis of such experiments when the material exhibits anisotropy.

Abstract. Establishing models for the formation of well-mixed polyphase domains in ultramylonites is difficult because the effects of large strains and thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical feedbacks can obscure the transient phenomena that may be responsible for domain production. We use scanning electron microscopy and nanotomography to offer critical insights into how the microstructure of a highly deformed quartzo-feldspathic ultramylonite evolved. The dispersal of monomineralic quartz domains in the ultramylonite is interpreted to be the result of the emergence of synkinematic pores, called creep cavities. The cavities can be considered the product of two distinct mechanisms that formed hierarchically: Zener–Stroh cracking and viscous grain-boundary sliding. In initially thick and coherent quartz ribbons deforming by grain-size-insensitive creep, cavities were generated by the Zener–Stroh mechanism on grain boundaries aligned with the YZ plane of finite strain. The opening of creep cavities promoted the ingress of fluids to sites of low stress. The local addition of a fluid lowered the adhesion and cohesion of grain boundaries and promoted viscous grain-boundary sliding. With the increased contribution of viscous grain-boundary sliding, a second population of cavities formed to accommodate strain incompatibilities. Ultimately, the emergence of creep cavities is interpreted to be responsible for the transition of quartz domains from a grain-size-insensitive to a grain-size-sensitive rheology.

In this work, we discuss a finite strain material model for evolving elastic and plastic anisotropy combining nonlinear isotropic and kinematic hardening. The evolution of elastic anisotropy is described by representing the Helmholtz free energy as a function of a family of evolving structure tensors. In addition, plastic anisotropy is modelled via the dependence of the yield surface on the same family of structure tensors. Exploiting the dissipation inequality leads to the interesting result that all tensor-valued internal variables are symmetric. Thus, the integration of the evolution equations can be efficiently performed by means of an algorithm that automatically retains the symmetry of the internal variables in every time step. The material model has been implemented as a user material subroutine UMAT into the commercial finite element software ABAQUS/Standard and has been used for the simulation of the phenomenon of earing during cylindrical deep drawing.

AbstractStrain stiffening of protein networks is explored by means of a finite strain analysis of a two-dimensional network model of cross-linked semiflexible filaments. The results show that stiffening is caused by non-affine network rearrangements that govern a transition from a bending dominated response at small strains to a stretching dominated response at large strains. Thermally-induced filament undulations only have a minor effect; they merely postpone the transition.
