Elastic Perfectly Plastic

It is shown that initial and boundary-value problems involving high-speed elastic-plastic deformation with spherical symmetry can be solved using a finite-difference numerical technique. Numerical solutions for the dynamic expansion of a spherical cavity under a constant pressure are presented to demonstrate the nature and capability of the numerical scheme. While the solution for an elastic material agrees closely with the exact one, the solution for an elastic, perfectly plastic material also receives support from Green’s analytic predictions concerning the motion of the elastic-plastic boundary. At large times, the asymptotic solution of the dynamic elastic-plastic problem is different from the quasi-static solution. This result indicates that the concept of quasi-static approximation may not hold in dynamic plasticity. A nonlinear dependence of the plastic solution on the boundary condition is also observed.

Elastic Perfectly Plastic

The article deals with the elastic-plastic state of inhomogeneous array with a spherical cavity. Model is used thick-walled ball of an elastic-perfectly plastic material (Prandtl diagram). It is shown that in the inhomogeneous material, depending on the inhomogeneity functions describing the change of the modulus of elasticity and yield stress of soil plastic deformation may appear on both the inner and outer surface of the ball and inside it. Are found values of the limit loads, displacement diagrams are constructed in an array.

The Impact

In the past, shakedown evaluation was usually based on the elastic method that the sum of the primary and secondary stress should be limited to 3Sm or the simplified elastic-plastic analysis method. The elastic method is just an approximate analysis, and the rigorous evaluation of shakedown normally requires an elastic-plastic analysis. In this paper, using an elastic perfectly plastic material model, the shakedown analysis was performed by a series of elastic-plastic analyses. Taking a shell with a nozzle subjected to parameterized temperature loads as an example, the impact of temperature change on the shakedown load was discussed and the shakedown loads of this structure at different temperature change rates were also obtained. This study can provide helpful references for engineering design.

Elastic Perfectly Plastic

In this paper, an elastic–plastic analytical method is proposed to predict the cyclic deformation of the fully clamped square plates made of elastic–perfectly plastic material under repeated quasi-static uniform pressure. The whole process can be divided into the loading and unloading phases. The loading phase is formulated as three separate regimes: the elastic regime, the mixed elastic–plastic regime and the fully plastic regime. Unloading from a status in each phase is modeled as an elastic process. The total and elastic strain energies are characterized by the loading and unloading paths together with the displacement profiles, respectively. It is theoretically revealed that the elastic strain energy and the structural stiffness of the plate increase with the increasing transverse deflection. In addition, the effect of material elasticity is highlighted in the scenario of repeated loadings. The theoretical results are validated against the numerical simulations conducted by the commercial software ABAQUS. It is shown that the proposed elastic–plastic theoretical model has reasonable accuracy and can be employed to predict pressure–deflection relationship for this class of problems.

Elastic Perfectly Plastic

This paper presents a formulation of Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) intended to perform thorough first-order elastic-plastic analyses of thin-walled members subjected to arbitrary deformations and made of an isotropic non-linear material. The J2-flow theory is used to model plasticity in conjunction with the Euler-Backward return-mapping algorithm. After presenting the formulation, its application is illustrated by means of the first order analysis of a simply supported Z-section beam made of an elastic-perfectly plastic material (e.g., carbon steel) and acted by a load uniformly distributed along the flanges. The set of GBT-based results comprises the load-deflection curves (equilibrium paths), displacement profiles, stress distributions (diagrams and 3D contours), and deformed shapes (modal amplitude functions and 3D configurations). These results are compared with the ones obtained from shell finite element analyses (SFEA) using ABAQUS. It is seen that the GBT results display a very good agreement with the SFEA values.

Design of connections of pipes and pressure vessels on the basis of a calculated maximum elastic stress often proves to be too conservative in the case of ductile materials. Elastic-plastic analysis by the finite element method proves to be too costly. This paper presents an alternative method which reduces the calculations to those of a rotationally symmetric shell subjected to axisymmetric loading. Using this approach approximate elastic-plastic deformations on the meridian passing through the crotch of a tee branch connection of cylindrical shells of equal diameter and thickness are determined. The method is limited to cases of the normal intersection of very thin shells of identical diameter, thickness, and material and to internal pressure loading. Numerical results for the intersection of two shells of R/t equal to 100 are given for an elastic-perfectly plastic material satisfying the von Mises yield condition.

ABSTRACTA constitutive equation is developed for geometrically-similar sharp indentation of a material capable of elastic, viscous, and plastic deformation. The equation is based on a series of elements consisting of a quadratic (reversible) spring, a quadratic (time-dependent, reversible) dashpot, and a quadratic (time-independent, irreversible) slider—essentially modifying a model for an elastic-perfectly plastic material by incorporating a creeping component. Load-displacement solutions to the constitutive equation are obtained for load-controlled indentation during constant loading-rate testing. A characteristic of the responses is the appearance of a forward-displacing “nose” during unloading of load-controlled systems (e.g., magnetic-coil-driven “nanoindentation” systems). Even in the absence of this nose, and the associated initial negative unloading tangent, load-displacement traces (and hence inferred modulus and hardness values) are significantly perturbed on the addition of the viscous component. The viscous-elastic-plastic (VEP) model shows promise for obtaining material properties (elastic modulus, hardness, time-dependence) of time-dependent materials during indentation experiments.
