Implementation of TRESCA yield certeria in ABAQUS plasticity material model using UMAT

Submitted by prashant sharma on

hi everybody.

 I am interested to implement  tresca failure criteria in my plastic material model (ABAQUS/standard) using UMAT subrountine which is avaiable in ABAQUS code but it is primaryly made for Mises failure , so i made few attempt to modified it for tresca , but it did not work out, so if anyone have any idea , please guide me. 

thanks

New perspectives in plasticity theory

Submitted by Amit Acharya on

 

A field theory of dislocation mechanics and plasticity is illustrated through new results at the nano, meso, and macro scales. Specifically, dislocation nucleation, the occurrence of wave-type response in quasi-static plasticity, and a jump condition at material interfaces and its implications for analysis of deformation localization are discussed.

Mechanical threshold stress model for 6061-T6 aluminum

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Our paper on the Mechanical threshold stress (MTS) model for 6061-T6 aluminum has been accepted by JoMMS.  There are several things of interest in the paper:

1) The use of a phonon drag model to predict the sharp increase in flow stress at strain rates above 10,000 /s.  This behavior is seen in a  number of materials and is hard to fit using standard power law plasticity models.  Our model does a good job in this regard.

Lath martensite

Does any one knows a good reference about lath martensite?

Why we see the retained austenite? why doesn't it transformto martensite? What's its effect on the phase transformation? Does the plasticity change the morphology of the transfromation? How about the speed of the transfromation? When should we expect to see the lath martensite? What's the effect of the diagonal terms in the transformation matrix? What's the effect of the shear components? Is there any difference between 2d and 3d simulations, and which one is more realistic?
