COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE EPMESC X, Aug. 21-23, 2006, Sanya, Hainan, China ©2006 Tsinghua University Press & Springer Numerical Simulation of Failure Process in Heterogeneous Elastoplastic Materials Yazhe Li, Yongqiang Chen* Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science, Peking University, Beijing, 100871 China Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract A general numerical approach is developed to simulate the failure process of structure or heterogeneous material, in which different local failure models are defined for different structures and materials to describe the failure of structure joint or material element. A two-parameter Weibull distribution is employed to produce the initial heterogeneity of material, i.e., the Young modulus and the failure strain. An appropriate elastic-plastic constitutive relation with failure strain value is used to describe the material behavior and failure in elements. During the displacement-controlled loading, the different elements would be in different stages of deformation, i.e. linear elastic stage and plastic stage. At each load step, an overall sweep is first carried out to determine deformation statue of each element, and find the one which is most probable to fail to determine the size of load step, so that a specific material element will enter the plastic stage from elastic stage or reach failure strain if it is already in plastic stage. Thus when this adaptive load incremental is applied, it would occur that only element changes its behavior status, i.e., from elastic stage to plastic stage or strain failure. The failed element would be assigned with a very small modulus to make it broken rather than remove it from network, which keep the geometric continuity. Applications of this proposed method to 3D and plane stress problems are presented. The numerical results have a good agreement with the test data. The numerical results show that it is suitable to simulate the failure process of materials with local elastoplastic relations of stresses vs. strains (e.g. concrete at higher temperature) under the quasi-static loading and to model the complicated nonlinearity of realistic material. It also provides a method to evaluate the effective properties and statistic measurements of practical engineering material and some composite materials. REFERENCES 1.
