VUMAT of Drucker Prager, help needed please..

Submitted by Gayan Aravinda on

Hi Everyone,

                    I have written Drucker Prager in VUMAT version as shown below..but still there are some deviation with the original in built version of ABAQUS. I have all the notes how i derived these equation.could you please show me where the code has gone wrong or have i missed a critical point in here..i tried my best to spot the error but could not..may be you all experts could find it. Thank you very much.

I would like to bring to your attention the advanced course on Modeling of localized inelastic deformation that will be taught by Milan Jirasek in Prague, Czech Republic on 15-19 September 2014. More detailed information on the course is posted at http://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/~milan/course2014.html. We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague!

Nominal vs. net strength

I have difficulty accepting the definition of "nominal strength" and "net strength" given in Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design.

Consider a plate of width w, thickness t, with a hole of diameter d centered at w/2, loaded with force F.  

Shigley's says: the "net stress" is \sigma_net=F/(wt) and the "nominal stress" is \sigma_nominal=F/((w-d)t). ==> I think he is wrong!

According to: http://dictionary.reference.com/

Net:

Bridgman and tensile test

Dear all I came up with some stress distributions which exist in a cylindrical specimen in a tensile test. However, I cannot understand how these formulas were gotten. There is a reference to a Bridgman paper (1944). Is there anyone who can give some inputs abouts this?

 

Thanks in advance
