Relaxation coefficients

Unphysical jumps in stress due to sudden changes in the deformation rate are prevented using a technique based on viscous regularization. This technique also models stress relaxation effects in a very simplistic manner. In the case of a uniaxial test, for example, the relaxation time is given as \tau = \mu _ { 0 } + \mu _ { 1 } | \lambda - 1 | ^ { \alpha } , where \mu _ { 0 } , \mu _ { 1 } , and are material parameters and is the stretch. \mu _ { 0 } is a linear viscosity parameter that controls the relaxation time when \lambda \approx 1 , and typically small values of this parameter should be used. \mu _ { 1 } is a nonlinear viscosity parameter that controls the relaxation time at higher values of deformation. The smaller this value, the shorter the relaxation time. controls the sensitivity of the relaxation speed to the stretch. The default values of these parameters are \mu _ { 0 } = 0 . 0 0 0 1 (time units), \mu _ { 1 } = 0 . 0 0 5 (time units), and .

Strain rate

When Poissons ratio is zero, three different strain rate measures can be used for the evaluation of the stress-strain response along each principal deformation direction for general three-dimensional deformation states: the nominal volumetric strain rate, the nominal strain rate along each principal

deformation direction, or the maximum of the nominal strain rates along the principal deformation directions. By default, the nominal volumetric strain rate is used; this approach does not produce rate-sensitive behavior under volume-preserving deformation modes (e.g., simple shear). Alternatively, each principal stress can be evaluated based either on the nominal strain rate along the corresponding principal direction or the maximum of the nominal strain rates; both these approaches can provide rate-sensitive behavior for volume-preserving deformation modes. All three strain rate measures produce identical rate-dependent behavior for uniaxial loading conditions when the Poissons ratio is zero.

When non-zero Poisson effects are defined, the model uses the maximum nominal strain rate along the principal deformation directions for the evaluation of the stress-strain response. This is the default and only strain rate measure available for this case.

Input File Usage: Use the following option to use the volumetric strain rate (default when Poissons ratio is zero):

*LOW DENSITY FOAM, STRAIN RATE=VOLUMETRIC

Use the following option to use the nominal strain rate evaluated along each principal direction:

*LOW DENSITY FOAM, STRAIN RATE=PRINCIPAL

Use the following option to use the maximum of the nominal strain rates along the principal directions (default and only option available when Poissons ratio is not zero):

*LOW DENSITY FOAM, STRAIN RATE=MAX PRINCIPAL

Abaqus/CAE Usage: Use the following option to use the volumetric strain rate (default):

Property module: material editor: Mechanical→Elasticity→Low Density Foam: Strain rate measure: Volumetric

Use the following option to use the strain rate evaluated along each principal direction:

Extrapolation of stress-strain curves

By default, for this material model and for strain values beyond the range of specified strains, Abaqus/Explicit extrapolates the stress-strain curves using the slope at the last data point.

When the strain rate value exceeds the maximum specified strain rate, Abaqus/Explicit uses the stress-strain curve corresponding to the maximum specified strain rate by default. You can override this default and activate strain rate extrapolation based on the slope (with respect to strain rate).

Input File Usage: Use the following option to activate strain rate extrapolation of loading curves:

*LOW DENSITY FOAM, RATE EXTRAPOLATION=YES

Abaqus/CAE Usage: Property module: material editor: Mechanical→Elasticity→Low Density Foam: toggle on Extrapolate stress-strain curve beyond maximum strain rate

Tension cutoff and failure

Low-density foams have limited strength in tension and can easily rupture under excessive tensile loading. The model in Abaqus/Explicit provides the option to specify a cutoff value for the maximum principal tensile stress that the material can sustain. The maximum principal stresses computed by the program will stay at or below this value. You can also activate deletion (removal) of the element from the simulation when the tension cutoff value is reached, which provides a simple method for modeling rupture.

Input File Usage:Use the following option to define a tension cutoff value without element deletion:*LOW DENSITY FOAM, TENSION CUTOFF=valueUse the following option to allow element deletion when the tension cutoff value is met:*LOW DENSITY FOAM, TENSION CUTOFF=value, FAIL=YES

Thermal expansion

Only isotropic thermal expansion is permitted with the low-density foam material model.

The elastic volume ratio, J ^ { e \ell } , relates the total volume ratio (current volume/reference volume), J, and the thermal volume ratio, J ^ { t h } , via the simple relationship:


J ^ {e \ell} = \frac {J}{J ^ {t h}}.

J ^ { t h } is given by


J ^ {t h} = (1 + \varepsilon^ {t h}) ^ {3},

where \varepsilon ^ { t h } is the linear thermal expansion strain that is obtained from the temperature and the isotropic thermal expansion coefficient (“Thermal expansion,” Section 26.1.2).

Material stability

The Drucker stability condition for a compressible material requires that the change in the Kirchhoff stress, d \tau , following from an infinitesimal change in the logarithmic strain, , satisfies the inequality


d \boldsymbol {\tau}: d \boldsymbol {\varepsilon} > 0,

where the Kirchhoff stress \tau = J \sigma . Using d { \boldsymbol { \tau } } = \mathbf { D } : d { \boldsymbol { \varepsilon } } , the inequality becomes


d \pmb {\varepsilon}: \mathbf {D}: d \pmb {\varepsilon} > 0.

This restriction requires that the tangential material stiffness be positive definite.

For an isotropic elastic formulation the inequality can be represented in terms of the principal stresses and strains


d \tau_ {1} d \varepsilon_ {1} + d \tau_ {2} d \varepsilon_ {2} + d \tau_ {3} d \varepsilon_ {3} > 0.

Thus, the relation between changes in the stress and changes in the strain can be obtained in the form of the matrix equation


\left\{ \begin{array}{l} d \tau_ {1} \\ d \tau_ {2} \\ d \tau_ {3} \end{array} \right\} = \left[ \begin{array}{c c c} D _ {1 1} & D _ {1 2} & D _ {1 3} \\ D _ {2 1} & D _ {2 2} & D _ {2 3} \\ D _ {3 1} & D _ {3 2} & D _ {3 3} \end{array} \right] \left\{ \begin{array}{l} d \varepsilon_ {1} \\ d \varepsilon_ {2} \\ d \varepsilon_ {3} \end{array} \right\},

where D _ { i j } = \delta \tau _ { i } / \delta \varepsilon _ { j } . Since must be positive definite, it is necessary that


D _ {1 1} + D _ {2 2} + D _ {3 3} > 0,

D _ {1 1} D _ {2 2} + D _ {2 2} D _ {3 3} + D _ {3 3} D _ {1 1} - D _ {2 3} ^ {2} - D _ {1 3} ^ {2} - D _ {1 2} ^ {2} > 0,

\det (\mathbf {D}) > 0.

When Poissons ratio is zero, the off diagonal terms of become zero. In that case the necessary conditions for a positive definite matrix reduce to D _ { i i } > 0 ; that is, the slope of the specified uniaxial stress-strain curves in the space of Kirchhoff stress versus logarithmic strain must be positive.

You should be careful defining the input data for the low-density foam model to ensure stable material response for all strain rates. If an instability is found, Abaqus issues a warning message and prints the lowest value of strain for which the instability is observed. Ideally, no instability should occur. If instabilities are observed at strain levels that are likely to occur in the analysis, it is strongly recommended that you carefully examine and revise the material input data. When nonzero Poisson effects are defined, it is highly recommended that you provide uniaxial test data in tension and compression for the same range of strain rates.

Elements

The low-density foam model can be used with solid (continuum) elements and generalized plane strain elements. One-dimensional solid elements (truss and rebar) are also available for the case when no lateral strains are specified (Poissons ratio is zero). The model cannot be used with shells, membranes, or the Eulerian elements (EC3D8R and EC3D8RT).

Procedures

The low-density foam model must always be used with geometrically nonlinear analyses (“General and linear perturbation procedures,” Section 6.1.3).
