ADPowerLawCreepStressUpdate
This class uses the stress update material in a radial return isotropic power law creep model. This class can be used in conjunction with other creep and plasticity materials for more complex simulations.
Description
In this numerical approach, a trial stress is calculated at the start of each simulation time increment; the trial stress calculation assumed all of the new strain increment is elastic strain:
The algorithms checks to see if the trial stress state is outside of the yield surface, as shown in the figure to the right. If the stress state is outside of the yield surface, the algorithm recomputes the scalar effective inelastic strain required to return the stress state to the yield surface. This approach is given the name Radial Return because the yield surface used is the von Mises yield surface: in the devitoric stress space, this yield surface has the shape of a circle, and the scalar inelastic strain is assumed to always be directed at the circle center.
Recompute Iterations on the Effective Plastic Strain Increment
The recompute radial return materials each individually calculate, using the Newton Method, the amount of effective inelastic strain required to return the stress state to the yield surface.
where the change in the iterative effective inelastic strain is defined as the yield surface over the derivative of the yield surface with respect to the inelastic strain increment.
The increment of inelastic strain is computed from the creep rate in this class.
(1)
where is the scalar von Mises trial stress, is the isotropic shear modulus, is the activation energy, is the universal gas constant, is the temperature, and are the current and initial times, respectively, and and are exponent values.
This class calculates an effective trial stress, an effective creep strain rate increment and the derivative of the creep strain rate, and an effective scalar inelastic strain increment; these values are passed to the ADRadialReturnStressUpdate to compute the radial return stress increment. This isotropic plasticity class also computes the plastic strain as a stateful material property.
This class is based on the implicit integration algorithm in Dunne and Petrinic (2005) pg. 146 - 149.
