Introduction
• Advanced material behaviour– Large variety of physical phenomena
– Choice of constitutive model requires knowledge about behaviour and limitations of models
– Availability of accurate material data for complete range of applied stress states, temperatures and other state conditions is crucial for obtaining correct prediction of behaviour
– Need for properties which describe behaviour. Existing data is often unsuitable as it characterizes certain indirect aspects, e.g. hardness

Constitutive modeling – cont.
• Modeling issues for metallic behaviour
– Is material virgin in initial situation? Preceding processes/treatments may result in anisotropy, residual stresses, inhomogeneous properties
– In case of time dependent behaviour, often insufficient data to describe sophisticated models
– Combination/interaction of phenomena may cause extra challenges
– No material data for extreme situations (long creep times, high strain rates, etc.)
– Lack of accurate properties when dealing with elevated temperatures T>0.4Tm

Constitutive modeling – cont.
• Modeling issues for non-metallic behaviour
– Large number of plastic materials but only basic parameters available. Time and rate effects often treated as confidential information by raw material supplier.
– Reinforcements cause extra complexity
– Certain rubber materials show strong dependency on filler materials which results in broad range of properties
– Hysteric effects necessitate extra calibration to describe “saturated”behaviour
– Cell-type material may violate continuous mechanics assumptions
– Data for in vivo behaviour of biological material not obtainable.

• Hysteresis in Elastomers– Many rubbers are known to be
rate-dependent and to exhibit hysteresis upon cyclic loading.
– The figure at right shows a typical hysteresis response (uniaxial compression at constant strain rate) for a filled rubber subjected to different final strains (from Bergstrom and Boyce1).

Rubber Elasticity
– The mechanical behavior of rubber (hyperelastic or hyperfoam) materials is expressed in terms of a strain energy potential
where S is a stress measure and F is a measure of deformation.
– Because the material is initially isotropic, we write the strain energy potential in terms of the strain invariants and Jel :
and are measures of deviatoric strain.
Jel is the volume ratio, a measure of volumetric strain.

Rubber Elasticity
– Choosing a strain energy function in a particular problem depends on the availability of sufficient and “accurate” experimental data.
• Use data from experiments involving simple deformations:
– Uniaxial tension and compression
– Biaxial tension and compression
– Planar tension and compression
• If compressibility is important, volumetric test data must also be used.
– E.g., highly confined materials (such as an O-ring).

General Framework for Damage and Failure Modeling
• Components of failure modeling– Undamaged constitutive behavior
(e.g., elastic-plastic with hardening)
– Damage initiation (point A)
– Damage evolution (path A–B)
– Choice of element removal (point B)
• Damage evolution models minimize mesh dependency

Progressive Damage and Failure
• Damage initiation– Defines the point of initiation of
degradation of stiffness
– Determined by a user-specified criterion
– Does not actually lead to damage unless damage evolution is also specified
• Output variables associated with each criterion
• Useful for evaluating the severity of current deformation state Ductile ShearForming limit

• Fracture due to nucleation, growth, and coalescence of voids
– Shear criterion• Fracture due to shear band localization
– Localized necking criterion• Fracture due to through-thickness localized necking

• Damage evolution criteria– Effective plastic displacement– Fracture energy

Progressive Damage and Failure
• Element removal– ABAQUS offers the choice to remove the
element from the mesh once the material stiffness is fully degraded
– Used in combination with the general contact functionality in ABAQUS/Explicit provides for an EROSION capability
– In ABAQUS/Viewer, failed elements can be removed based on their STATUS.

Summary
• Modeling of advanced material behaviour requires good understanding of models, good insight in behaviour and requires accurate and sufficient material data
• Chosen models should be verified in complete loading range• In coming years direct modeling of progressive damage and failure
will become feasible
