基于能量等效原理的应变局部化分析:Ⅱ.有限元解法

以非局部塑性理论为基础,应用状态空间理论,通过局部和非局部两个状态空间的塑性能量耗散率等效原理,提出了一种求解应变局部化问题的新方法,以得到与网格无关的数值解.针对二维问题的屈服函数和流动法则导出了求解非局部内变量的一般方程,并提出了在有限元环境中求解应变局部化问题的应力更新算法.为了验证所提出的方法,对1个一维拉杆和3个二维平面应变加载试件进行了有限元分析.数值结果表明,塑性应变的分布和载荷-位移曲线都随着网格的变小而稳定地收敛,应变局部化区域的尺寸只与材料内尺度有关,而对有限元网格的大小不敏感.对于一维问题,当有限元网格尺寸减小时,数值解收敛于解析解.对于二维剪切带局部化问题,数值解随着网格尺寸的减小而稳定地向唯一解收敛.当网格尺寸减小时,剪切带的宽度和方向基本上没有变化.而且得到的塑性应变分布和网格变形是平滑的.这说明,所提方法可以克服经典连续介质力学模型导致的网格相关性问题,从而获得具有物理意义的客观解.此模型只需要单元之间的位移插值函数具有C~0连续性,因而容易在现有的有限元程序中实现而无需对程序作大的修改.

混凝土单轴受拉的非局部本构模型

混凝土受拉本构行为存在很强的局部软化现象,使得单轴受拉试验无法给出应力-应变关系,而只能给出应力-位移关系。本文根据内变量理论和等效应变假设建立了基于真实应变的混凝土单轴受力本构方程,并根据Weibull分布可以描述混凝土等脆性材料断裂过程的试验现象,建立了关于弹性应变的损伤演化规律。然后,通过假设平均应变与真实弹性应变的函数关系,在应力-平均应变的本构关系中采用平均弹性应变以描述其非局部行为,而在材料的损伤演化规律中采用真实弹性应变以描述其局部行为,由此建立了单轴受拉荷载条件下的非局部本构模型。最后,对一个单调受拉试验和一个反复受拉试验的仿真结果表明所提出的非局部本构模型可以准确地模拟试验结果。

Over-nonlocal gradient enhanced plastic-damage model for concrete

Classical continuum models exhibit strong mesh dependency during softening. One method to regularize the problem is to introduce a length scale parameter via the nonlocal formulation. However, standard nonlocal enhancement (either by integral or gradient formulation) may serve only as a partial localization limiter for many material models. The “over-nonlocal” formulation, where the weight for the nonlocal value is greater than unity and the excesses compensated by assigning a negative weight to the local value, is able to fully regularize certain material models when standard nonlocal enhancement fails to do so. A plastic-damage model for concrete is formulated with this over-nonlocal enhancement via the gradient approach and the full regularizing capabilities demonstrated.     

A nonlocal strain gradient shell model incorporating surface effects for vibration analysis of functionally graded cylindrical nanoshells

In this paper, a novel size-dependent functionally graded(FG) cylindrical shell model is developed based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory in conjunction with the Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity theory. The new model containing a nonlocal parameter, a material length scale parameter, and several surface elastic constants can capture three typical types of size effects simultaneously, which are the nonlocal stress effect, the strain gradient effect, and the surface energy effects. With the help of Hamilton's principle and first-order shear deformation theory, the non-classical governing equations and related boundary conditions are derived. By using the proposed model, the free vibration problem of FG cylindrical nanoshells with material properties varying continuously through the thickness according to a power-law distribution is analytically solved, and the closed-form solutions for natural frequencies under various boundary conditions are obtained. After verifying the reliability of the proposed model and analytical method by comparing the degenerated results with those available in the literature, the influences of nonlocal parameter, material length scale parameter, power-law index, radius-to-thickness ratio, length-to-radius ratio, and surface effects on the vibration characteristic of functionally graded cylindrical nanoshells are examined in detail.     

Vibration analysis of piezoelectric sandwich nanobeam with flexoelectricity based on nonlocal strain gradient theory

A nonlocal strain gradient theory(NSGT) accounts for not only the nongradient nonlocal elastic stress but also the nonlocality of higher-order strain gradients,which makes it benefit from both hardening and softening effects in small-scale structures.In this study, based on the NSGT, an analytical model for the vibration behavior of a piezoelectric sandwich nanobeam is developed with consideration of flexoelectricity. The sandwich nanobeam consists of two piezoelectric sheets and a non-piezoelectric core. The governing equation of vibration of the sandwich beam is obtained by the Hamiltonian principle. The natural vibration frequency of the nanobeam is calculated for the simply supported(SS) boundary, the clamped-clamped(CC) boundary, the clamped-free(CF)boundary, and the clamped-simply supported(CS) boundary. The effects of geometric dimensions, length scale parameters, nonlocal parameters, piezoelectric constants, as well as the flexoelectric constants are discussed. The results demonstrate that both the flexoelectric and piezoelectric constants enhance the vibration frequency of the nanobeam.The nonlocal stress decreases the natural vibration frequency, while the strain gradient increases the natural vibration frequency. The natural vibration frequency based on the NSGT can be increased or decreased, depending on the value of the nonlocal parameter to length scale parameter ratio.

Micromorphic approach for finite gradient-elastoplasticity fully coupled with ductile damage: Formulation and computational aspects

It is well established that the use of inelastic constitutive equations accounting for induced softening, leads to pathological space (mesh) and time discretization dependency of the numerical solution of the associated Initial and Boundary Value Problem (IBVP). To avoid this drawback, many less or more approximate solutions have been proposed in the literature in order to regularize the IBVP and to obtain numerical solutions which are, at convergence, much less sensitive to the space and the time discretization. The basic idea behind these regularization techniques is the formulation of nonlocal constitutive equations by introducing some effects of characteristic lengths representing the materials microstructure. In this work, using the framework of generalized nonlocal continua, a thermodynamically-consistent micromorphic formulation using appropriate micromorphic state variables and their first gradients, is proposed in order to extend the classical local constitutive equations by incorporating appropriate characteristic internal lengths. The isotropic damage, the isotropic and the kinematic hardenings are supposed to carry the targeted micromorphic effects. First the theoretical aspects of this fully coupled micromorphic formulation is presented in details and the proposed generalized balance equations as well as the fully coupled micromorphic constitutive equations deduced. The associated numerical aspects in the framework of the classical Galerkin-based FE formulation are briefly discussed in the special case of micromorphic damage. Specifically, the formulation of 2D finite elements with additional degrees of freedom (d.o.f.), the dynamic explicit global resolution scheme as well as the local integration scheme, to compute the stress tensor and the state variables at each integration point of each element, are presented. Application is made to the typical uniaxial tension specimen under plane strain conditions in order to chow the predictive capabilities of the proposed micromorphic model, particularly against its ability to give (at convergence) a mesh independent solution even for high values of the ductile damage (i.e., the macroscopic cracks).
