This paper presents the application of a viscoplastic damage model for the lifetime prediction of a typical rocket combustion chamber structure. The material modeling is motivated by extension of the classical rheological model for elastoplasticity with Armstrong-Frederick kinematic hardening into a viscoplastic model. The coupling with damage is performed using the concept of effective stress and the principle of strain equivalence. The material parameters are identified based on experimental results for the high temperature copper alloy NARloy-Z, which is one of the typical combustion chamber wall materials. Finally the applicability of the model will be shown by means of sequentially coupled thermomechanical analyses.

The kinematic hardening theory of plasticity based on the Prager model and incremental isotropic damage is used to evaluate the cyclic loading behavior of a beam under the axial, bending, and thermal loads. This allows damage to be path-dependent. The damage and inelastic deformation are incorporated and they are used for the analysis of the beam. The beam material is assumed to follow linear strain hardening property coupled with isotropic damage. The material strain hardening curves in tension and compression are assumed to be both identical for the isotropic material. Computational aspects of rate independent model is discussed and the constitutive equation of the rate independent plasticity coupled with the damage model are decomposed into the elastic, plastic and damage parts. Return Mapping Algorithm method is used for the correction of the elastoplastic state and for the damage model the algorithm is used according to the governed damage constitutive relation. The effect of the damage phenomenon coupled with the elastoplastic kinematic hardening is studied for deformation and load control loadings.

Abstract The main objective of this paper is to generate cyclic stress-strain curves for sheet metals so that the springback can be simulated accurately. Material parameters are identified by an inverse method within a selected constitutive model that represents the hardening behavior of materials subjected to a cyclic loading. Three-point bending tests are conducted on sheet steels (mild steel and high strength steel). Punch stroke, punch load, bending strain and bending angle are measured directly during the tests. Bending moments are then computed from these measured data. Bending moments are also calculated based on a constitutive model. Normal anisotropy and nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening are considered. Material parameters are identified by minimizing the normalized error between two bending moments. Micro genetic algorithm is used in the optimization procedure. Stress-strain curves are generated with the material parameters found in this way, which can be used with other plastic models.

By building up a debugging method about material parameters of concrete impact damage model based on DOE (Design of Experiments) analysis, this paper studies the influence of material parameters of concrete targets on the results of numerical simulation based on quantitative analysis, when the impact velocity is 300m/s and 850m/s respectively. It concludes that when the impact velocity of 300m/s, 5 parameters have considerable effect on the residual velocity of warhead, they are , , , and . Of all 5 parameters, , and can be obtained by calculation therefore it only needs to debug two parameters and according to experiments. Finally, when the impact velocity is 300m/s or so, debug combining the experiments to get a set of concrete impact damage model material parameters to make the results of simulation and experiment anastomosis well.

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.
