NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS FOR SOLVING THE ELASTO-PLASTIC PROBLEM WITH MIXED HARDENING
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2013, Vol 58, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper deals with elasto-plastic models for mixed hardening material, described by rate-type constitutive equations. In the first part of the paper update algorithms for solving rate type elastic-plastic models with mixed hardening mixed for small deformations have been emphasized, based on the radial return mapping algorithms proposed by Simo and Hughes [28]. We exemplify the elastic prediction and plastic corrector steps of the algorithms as well as the calculus of the appropriate algorithmic tangent moduli. We emphasize the role played by the algorithmic tangent moduli in solving the quasi-static, initial and boundary value problem, based on the methodology proposed and developed in the paper by Cleja-Tigoiu and Stoicuta [8].

GEOMETRIC TRANSFORMATIONS IN DESIGNING NEW MATERIALS
In this paper, an original idea of designing new materials is investigated. The property of Helmholtz equation to be invariant under geometric transformations is exploited to obtain new materials with inhomogeneous and a...
HUNTING MOTION OF THE HIGH SPEED RAILWAY BOGIES WITH INTERCONNECTION AXLES
The axle hunting is a coupled lateral and yaw self-oscillatory motion which is largely determined by wheel-rail contact geometry. The stability of this motion is an important dynamic problem that determines the maximum o...
LIMIT STRAINS VARIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO MATERIAL SCATTER
In this paper a study regarding to the effect of the variability of the mechanical parameters on the prediction of the limit strain have been presented. The necking criterion used in the analyses is the one proposed by M...
AN INTRODUCTION TO DSmT - Second part
The management and combination of uncertain, imprecise, fuzzy and even paradoxical or highly conflicting sources of information has always been, and still remains today, of primal importance for the development of reliab...
COMBINED XFEM-COHESIVE FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSES OF SINGLE-LAP JOINTS
Cohesive Zone Modelling (CZM) and eXtended Finite Element Modelling (XFEM) available in Abaqus® are used together to simulate the behaviour and strength of a single-lap adhesively bonded joint. A distinct CZM model is al...
