13. Plasticity
The topic of the present chapter is elastic-plastic materials, and some comments on Finite
element analysis taking elastic-plastic effects into account. The focus is on the nonlinear effect
in the material law, the effects of large deformations and large strains are neglected. Subdomain boundary nodes
As an introduction we introduce some topics related to nonlinear materials and nonlinear Mek 4560
analysis. Torgeir Rusten
In the textbook [Cook et al., 2002][2] a discussion of plasticity is in Chapter 17.3-17.6. The
book [Lemaitre and Chaboche, 1990][4] is good source for material models. A good exposition
of Finite Element methods for nonlinear structures are [Belytschko et al., 2000][1] . Nonlin-
ear solid mechanics is also discussed in [Holzapfel, 2000][3] , ([Simo and Hughes, 1998][6] and Contents
[Malvern, 1969][5] ).

13.1. Introduction
A material is nonlinear when the relation between stress, σ, and strains, ε, is expressed using
a strain dependent matrix, C(ε).
Subdomain boundary nodes Subdomain boundaries
In a mathematical model of a material the constitutive relations model the stress as a function Subdomain interior nodes
of the deformation history. This is a material specific part of the model, and different materials Mek 4560
have different constitutive relations. Torgeir Rusten
I one dimensional solid mechanics the constitutive equation is the stress-strain model for the
material.
A stress-strain relation approximate the observed physical behavior to a material, subject Contents
to certain assumptions. A phenomenological approach is used. The observed macroscopic
behavior is a result of microscopic interactions in the material. These interactions on the // ..
atomic or molecular level is not modeled, the effect on the macroscopic level is modeled by
fitting macroscopic functions to experimental data. / .

13.3. One dimensional elasticity
A fundamental property of an elastic material is that the stress level only depend on the current
value. A consequence of this is that loading and unloading follow the same curve and that the
construction returns to its initial configuration after deformation. Subdomain boundary nodes Subdomain boundaries

Figure 13.1 show a typical stress-strain curve for elastic-plastic materials, e.g. a metal under
one dimensional stress. Initially the material is (linearly) elastic until the initial yield stress, Go Back
denoted σ0 , is attained. Then, the elastic deformation is followed by an elastic-plastic de-
formation where permanent, irreversible plastic deformations are induced by further loading. Close
Reducing the stress is called unloading, and here it is assumed that the response is governed
by the elastic law. Quit

Above we introduced the decomposition
dε = dεe + dεp
of the strain increments. Division of both sides with respect to a time increment dt, the rate
relation becomes:
ε̇ = ε˙e + ε˙p Subdomain boundary nodes
The stress increment (rate) is related by the elastic modulus to the increment (rate) of the Mek 4560
elastic strain: Torgeir Rusten
dσ = Edεe , or σ̇ = E ε̇e
In the elastic-plastic, nonlinear, regime the relations are
dσ = Edεe = E tan dε, or σ̇ = E ε̇e = E tan ε̇
where E tan is the elastic-plastic tangent module, the slope of the stress-strain curve, see Fig- Contents

The relations are homogeneous in strains and strain rates, i.e. if time is scaled by an arbitrary

factor, the constitutive relations remains unchanged. Thus the material response are rate
independent. In the sequel the rate form is used. Page 14 of 31

This is called an associative plastic model, the plastic flow is in the direction normal to the
yield surface. We do not go into details here, but this is important in multiaxial plasticity.
Plastic deformations occur only when the yield condition f = 0 is met. During plastic loading,
the stress must remain on the yield surface f˙ = 0. Enforcement of this leads to the consistency
condition: Subdomain boundary nodes

The loading-unloading conditions can also be written
Close
λ̇ ≥ 0, f ≤ 0, λ̇f = 0
The first states that the plastic rate parameter is non-negative, the second that the stress must Quit
lie on or below the yield surface. The last condition states that the stress is on the yield surface
during plastic loading, λ̇ > 0 and that the rate parameter is zero when the loading is elastic.

In multiaxial plasticity the one dimensional model is extended. One model is a formulation
called von Mises yield surface, or J2 plasticity (second invariant of the deviatoric stress tensor)
Department of
Mathematics

The main assumption of the model is that the plastic flow of the material is unaffected by
pressure. This was shown experimentally by Bridgman in 1949. The yield condition and and
the plastic flow direction is based on the deviatoriske part of the stress tensor
