Dear all,
I am trying to formulate the return mapping algorithm with Hill48 yield condition, isotropic hardening law and flow rule referenced to Simo & Hughes (Computational Inelasticity).
In section 2.2.2.1, equation (2.2.9) expresses the Kuhn-Tucker complementarity conditions:
In addition to conditions (2.2.9), satisfies the consistency requirement:
Shape memory effect and pseudoelasticity behavior in tetragonal zirconia polycrystals: A phase field study, International Journal of Plasticity 60 (2014) 71–86. Martensitic tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation in zirconia is a ‘‘double-edged sword’’, enabling transformation toughening or shape memory effects in favorable cases, but also cracks and phase degradation in undesirable scenarios.
In this study, we presented a numerically robust procedure to evaluate 4th order tangent moduli which are vital for acheiving quadratic convergence of global Newton-Raphson scheme.
In this study, the proposed method is verified for hyperelastic models alone. However, the same can be extended to other constitutive models.
The paper can be found at
