Figure 23.3.51 Crushable foam model with volumetric hardening: yield surface and flow potential in the _ { p - q } stress plane.

The yield surface evolves in a self-similar fashion (constant ); and the shape factor can be computed using the initial yield stress in uniaxial compression, \sigma _ { c } ^ { 0 } , the initial yield stress in hydrostatic compression, \hat { p _ { c } ^ { 0 } } (the initial value of p _ { c } ) , and the yield strength in hydrostatic tension, p _ { t } .


\alpha = \frac {3 k}{\sqrt {(3 k _ {t} + k) (3 - k)}} \qquad \text {with} \qquad k = \frac {\sigma_ {c} ^ {0}}{p _ {c} ^ {0}} \quad \text {and} \quad k _ {t} = \frac {p _ {t}}{p _ {c} ^ {0}}.

For a valid yield surface the choice of strength ratios must be such that 0 < k < 3 and k _ { t } \geq 0 . If this is not the case, Abaqus issues an error message and terminates execution.

To define the shape of the yield surface, you provide the values of k and k _ { t } . If desired, these variables can be defined as a tabular function of temperature and other predefined field variables. In this case the model requires that the hardening curve (described below) be also specified for the same values of temperature and predefined field variables.

Calibration

To use this model, one needs to know the initial yield stress in uniaxial compression, \sigma _ { c } ^ { 0 } ; ; the initial yield stress in hydrostatic compression, p _ { c } ^ { 0 . } ; and the yield strength in hydrostatic tension, p _ { t } . Since foam materials are rarely tested in tension, it is usually necessary to guess the magnitude of the strength of the foam in hydrostatic tension, p _ { t } . The choice of tensile strength should not have a strong effect on the numerical results unless the foam is stressed in hydrostatic tension. A common approximation is to set p _ { t } equal to 5% to 10% of the initial yield stress in hydrostatic compression p _ { c } ^ { 0 . } , thus, k _ { t } = 0 . 0 5 to 0.10.

Flow potential

The plastic strain rate for the volumetric hardening model is assumed to be


\dot {\varepsilon} ^ {p l} = \dot {\bar {\varepsilon}} ^ {p l} \frac {\partial G}{\partial \pmb {\sigma}},

where G is the flow potential, chosen in this model as


G = \sqrt {q ^ {2} + \frac {9}{2} p ^ {2}},

and \dot { \bar { \varepsilon } } ^ { p l } is the equivalent plastic strain rate defined as


\dot {\bar {\varepsilon}} ^ {p l} = \frac {\pmb {\sigma} : \dot {\pmb {\varepsilon}} ^ {p l}}{G}.

The equivalent plastic strain rate is related to the rate of axial plastic strain, \dot { \varepsilon } _ { \mathrm { a x i a l } } ^ { p l } , in uniaxial compression by


\dot {\bar {\varepsilon}} ^ {p l} = \sqrt {\frac {2}{3}} \dot {\varepsilon} _ {\mathrm{axial}} ^ {p l}.

A geometrical representation of the flow potential in the _ { p - q } stress plane is shown in Figure 23.3.51. This potential gives a direction of flow that is identical to the stress direction for radial paths. This is motivated by simple laboratory experiments that suggest that loading in any principal direction causes insignificant deformation in the other directions. As a result, the plastic flow is nonassociative for the volumetric hardening model. For more details regarding plastic flow, see “Plasticity models: general discussion,” Section 4.2.1 of the Abaqus Theory Guide.

Nonassociated flow

The nonassociated plastic flow rule makes the material stiffness matrix unsymmetric; therefore, the unsymmetric matrix storage and solution scheme should be used in Abaqus/Standard (see “Defining an analysis,” Section 6.1.2). Usage of this scheme is especially important when large regions of the model are expected to flow plastically.

Hardening

The yield surface intersects the p-axis at - p _ { t } and p _ { c } . We assume that p _ { t } remains fixed throughout any plastic deformation process. By contrast, the compressive strength, p _ { c } , evolves as a result of compaction (increase in density) or dilation (reduction in density) of the material. The evolution of the yield surface can be expressed through the evolution of the yield surface size on the hydrostatic stress axis, p _ { c } + p _ { t } , as a function of the value of volumetric compacting plastic strain, - \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { v o l } } ^ { p l } . With p _ { t } constant, this relation can be obtained from user-provided uniaxial compression test data using


p _ {c} (\varepsilon_ {\mathrm{vol}} ^ {p l}) = \frac {\sigma_ {c} (\varepsilon_ {\mathrm{axial}} ^ {p l}) \left[ \sigma_ {c} (\varepsilon_ {\mathrm{axial}} ^ {p t}) \left(\frac {1}{\alpha^ {2}} + \frac {1}{9}\right) + \frac {p _ {t}}{3} \right]}{p _ {t} + \frac {\sigma_ {c} (\varepsilon_ {\mathrm{axial}} ^ {p l})}{3}}

along with the fact that \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { a x i a l } } ^ { p l } = \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { v o l } } ^ { p l } in uniaxial compression for the volumetric hardening model. Thus, you provide input to the hardening law by specifying, in the usual tabular form, only the value of the yield stress in uniaxial compression as a function of the absolute value of the axial plastic strain. The table must start with a zero plastic strain (corresponding to the virgin state of the material), and the tabular entries must be given in ascending magnitude of of temperature and other predefined field variabl \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { a x i a l } } ^ { \overline { { p l } } } . If desired, the yield stress can also be a functionthis case the model requires that the values of the strength ratios k and k _ { t } be also specified for the same values of temperature and predefined field variables.

Rate dependence

As strain rates increase, many materials show an increase in the yield stress. For many crushable foam materials this increase in yield stress becomes important when the strain rates are in the range of 0.11 per second and can be very important if the strain rates are in the range of 10100 per second, as commonly occurs in high-energy dynamic events.

Two methods for specifying strain-rate-dependent material behavior are available in Abaqus as discussed below. Both methods assume that the shapes of the hardening curves at different strain rates are similar, and either can be used in static or dynamic procedures. When rate dependence is included, the static stress-strain hardening behavior must be specified for the crushable foam as described above.

Overstress power law

You can specify a Cowper-Symonds overstress power law that defines strain rate dependence. This law has the form


\dot {\bar {\varepsilon}} ^ {p l} = D \bigg (R - 1 \bigg) ^ {n} \qquad \mathrm{for} \qquad R \geq 1,

with


R \equiv \frac {\bar {B}}{B},

where B is the size of the static yield surface and is the size of the yield surface at a nonzero strain rate. The ratio R can be written as


R - 1 = \left(r - 1\right) \frac {3 k _ {t} + r \left[ k + k _ {t} (3 - k) \right]}{(1 + k _ {t}) (3 k _ {t} + r k)},

where r is the uniaxial compression yield stress ratio defined by


r \equiv \frac {\bar {\sigma} _ {c}}{\sigma_ {c}}.

\sigma _ { c } , specified as para given value of e crushable foam hardening definition, is the uniaxial compression yield stressfor the experiment with the lowest strain rate and can depend on temperature \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { a x i a l } } ^ { p l } possibly, of other predefined field variables.

The power-law rate dependency can be rewritten in the following form


\ln \left(R - 1\right) = \frac {1}{n} \ln \dot {\bar {\varepsilon}} ^ {p l} - \frac {1}{n} \ln D.

The procedure outlined below can be followed to obtain the material parameters D and n based on the uniaxial compression test data.

  1. Compute R using the uniaxial compression yield stress ratio, r.
  2. Convert the rate of the axial plastic strain, \dot { \varepsilon } _ { \mathrm { a x i a l } } ^ { p l } , to the corresponding equivalent plastic strain rate, \dot { \bar { \varepsilon } } ^ { p l } .
  3. Plot \ln ( R - 1 ) versus \ln ( \dot { \bar { \varepsilon } } ^ { p l } ) . If the curve can be approximated by a straight line such as that shown in Figure 23.3.52, the overstress power law is suitable. The slope of the line is 1 / n _ { : } , and the intercept of the axis is - ( 1 / n ) .

Tabular input of yield ratio

Rate-dependent behavior can alternatively be specified by giving a table of the ratio r = \bar { \sigma } _ { c } / \sigma _ { c } as a function of the absolute value of the rate of the axial plastic strain and, optionally, temperature and predefined field variables.

Initial conditions

When we need to study the behavior of a material that has already been subjected to some hardening, Abaqus allows you to prescribe initial conditions for the volumetric compacting plastic strain, - \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { v o l } } ^ { p l } (see “Defining initial values of state variables for plastic hardening” in “Initial conditions in Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit,” Section 34.2.1).

Crushable foam model with isotropic hardening

The isotropic hardening model uses a yield surface that is an ellipse centered at the origin in the _ { p - q } stress plane. The yield surface evolves in a self-similar manner, and the evolution is governed by the equivalent plastic strain (to be defined later).

Yield surface

The yield surface for the isotropic hardening model is defined as


F = \sqrt {q ^ {2} + \alpha^ {2} p ^ {2}} - B = 0,

where

$p = -\frac{1}{3}\text{trace } \boldsymbol{\sigma}$ is the pressure stress,
$q = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2} \mathbf{S} : \mathbf{S}}$ is the Mises stress,
$\mathbf{S} = \boldsymbol{\sigma} + p \mathbf{I}$ is the deviatoric stress,
$B = \alpha p_{c} = \sigma_{c} \sqrt{1 + \left( \frac{\alpha}{3} \right)^{2}}$ is the size of the (vertical) $\boldsymbol{q}$ -axis of the yield ellipse,
$\alpha$ is the shape factor of the yield ellipse that defines the relative magnitude of the axes,
$p_{c}$ is the yield stress in hydrostatic compression, and
$\sigma_{c}$ is the absolute value of the yield stress in uniaxial compression.

The yield surface represents the Mises circle in the deviatoric stress plane. The shape of the yield surface in the meridional stress plane is depicted in Figure 23.3.53. The shape factor, , can be computed using the initial yield stress in uniaxial compression, \sigma _ { c } ^ { 0 } , and the initial yield stress in hydrostatic compression, p _ { c } ^ { 0 } (the initial value of p _ { c } ) , using the relation:


\alpha = \frac {3 k}{\sqrt {9 - k ^ {2}}} \qquad \mathrm{with} \qquad k = \frac {\sigma_ {c} ^ {0}}{p _ {c} ^ {0}}.

To define the shape of the yield ellipse, you provide the value of k. For a valid yield surface the strength ratio must be such that 0 \leq k < 3 . The particular case of k = 0 corresponds to the Mises plasticity. In general, the initial yield strengths in uniaxial compression and in hydrostatic compression, \sigma _ { c } ^ { 0 } and p _ { c } ^ { 0 } , can be used to calculate the value of k. However, in many practical cases the stress versus strain response curves of crushable foam materials do not show clear yielding points, and the initial yield stress values cannot be determined exactly. Many of these response curves have a horizontal plateau—the yield stress is nearly a constant for a significantly large range of plastic strain values. If you have data from both uniaxial compression and hydrostatic compression, the plateau values of the two experimental curves can be used to calculate the ratio of k.

Figure 23.3.53 Crushable foam model with isotropic hardening: yield surface and flow potential in the _ { p - q } stress plane.

where \beta represents the shape of the flow potential ellipse on the _ { p - q } stress plane. It is related to the plastic Poissons ratio, \nu _ { p } , via


\beta = \frac {3}{\sqrt {2}} \sqrt {\frac {1 - 2 \nu_ {p}}{1 + \nu_ {p}}}.

The plastic Poissons ratio, which is the ratio of the transverse to the longitudinal plastic strain under uniaxial compression, must be in the range of 1 and 0.5; and the upper limit ( \nu _ { p } = 0 . 5 ) corresponds to the case of incompressible plastic flow ( \beta = 0 ) . For many low-density foams the plastic Poissons ratio is nearly zero, which corresponds to a value of \beta \approx 2 . 1 2 .

The plastic flow is associated when the value of is the same as that of . By default, the plastic flow is nonassociated to allow for the independent calibrations of the shape of the yield surface and the plastic Poissons ratio. If you have information only about the plastic Poissons ratio and choose to use associated plastic flow, the yield stress ratio k can be calculated from


k = \sqrt {3 (1 - 2 \nu_ {p})}.

Alternatively, if only the shape of the yield surface is known and you choose to use associated plastic flow, the plastic Poissons ratio can be obtained from


\nu_ {p} = \frac {3 - k ^ {2}}{6}.

You provide the value of \nu _ { p } .

Hardening

A simple uniaxial compression test is sufficient to define the evolution of the yield surface. The hardening law defines the value of the yield stress in uniaxial compression as a function of the absolute value of the axial plastic strain. The piecewise linear relationship is entered in tabular form. The table must start with a zero plastic strain (corresponding to the virgin state of the materials), and the tabular entries must be given in ascending magnitude of \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { a x i a l } } ^ { p l } . For values of plastic strain greater than the last user-specified value, the stress-strain relationship is extrapolated based on the last slope computed from the data. If desired, the yield stress can also be a function of temperature and other predefined field variables.

Rate dependence

As strain rates increase, many materials show an increase in the yield stress. For many crushable foam materials this increase in yield stress becomes important when the strain rates are in the range of 0.11 per second and can be very important if the strain rates are in the range of 10100 per second, as commonly occurs in high-energy dynamic events.

When rate dependence is included, the static stress-strain hardening behavior must be specified for the crushable foam as described above.

Overstress power law

You can specify a Cowper-Symonds overstress power law that defines strain rate dependence. This law has the form


\dot {\bar {\varepsilon}} ^ {p l} = D \bigg (R - 1 \bigg) ^ {n} \qquad \text { for } \qquad R \geq 1,

with


R \equiv \frac {\bar {\sigma} _ {c}}{\sigma_ {c}},

where yield s \sigma _ { c } . , specified as part of thss at a given value of shable foam hardening definition, is the static uniaxifor the experiment with the lowest strain rate, and ompressionis the yield \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { a x i a l } } ^ { p l } \hat { \sigma } _ { c }

stress at a nonzero strain rate. \dot { \bar { \varepsilon } } ^ { p l } is the equivalent plastic strain rate, which is equal to the rate of the axial plastic strain in uniaxial compression for the isotropic hardening model.

The power-law rate dependency can be rewritten in the following form


\ln \left(R - 1\right) = \frac {1}{n} \ln \dot {\bar {\varepsilon}} ^ {p l} - \frac {1}{n} \ln D.

Plot versus in Figure 23.3.52, the o ( \dot { \varepsilon } _ { \mathrm { a x i a l } } ^ { p l } ) . If the curve can be approximated by a straight lss power law is suitable. The slope of the line is uch as that shown, and the intercept 1 / n _ { ! } of the axis is - ( 1 / n ) . The material parameters D and n can be functions of temperature and, possibly, of other predefined field variables.

Elements

The crushable foam plasticity model can be used with plane strain, generalized plane strain, axisymmetric, and three-dimensional solid (continuum) elements. This model cannot be used with elements for which the stress state is assumed to be planar (plane stress, shell, and membrane elements) or with beam, pipe, or truss elements.

Output

In addition to the standard output identifiers available in Abaqus (“Abaqus/Standard output variable identifiers,” Section 4.2.1, and “Abaqus/Explicit output variable identifiers,” Section 4.2.2), the following variable has special meaning for the crushable foam plasticity model:

PEEQ

For the volumetric hardening model, PEEQ is the volumetric compacting plastic strain defined as - \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { v o l } } ^ { p l } -εvol For the isotropic hardening model, PEEQ is the equivalent plastic strain defined as \begin{array} { r } { \bar { \varepsilon } ^ { p l } \equiv \int \frac { \sigma : d \varepsilon ^ { p \bar { l } } } { \sigma _ { c } } } \end{array} g:depl , where \sigma _ { c } is the uniaxial compression yield σc stress.

The volumetric plastic strain, \varepsilon _ { \mathrm { v o l } } ^ { p l } , is the trace of the plastic strain tensor; you can also calculate it as the sum of direct plastic strain components.

For the volumetric hardening model, the initial values of the volumetric compacting plastic strain can be specified for elements that use the crushable foam material model, as described above. The volumetric compacting plastic strain (output variable PEEQ) provided by Abaqus then contains the initial value of the volumetric compacting plastic strain plus any additional volumetric compacting plastic strain due to plastic straining during the analysis. However, the plastic strain tensor (output variable PE) contains only the amount of straining due to deformation during the analysis.
