Plasticity

Please suggest self study book for continuum plasticity theory

Submitted by AP on

Hello, I am new to theory of plasicity and need to learn it by myself. Please suggest a good book for self study for continuum plasticity theory. I am specially interested in metal plasticity theories, in analytical and numerical aspects.

(Course) Plastic Deformation in Crystalline Solids

Submitted by Kamyar M Davoudi on

Instructor: Kamyar Davoudi

Lectures: Saturdays and Mondays, 10:30 am-12:00 pm

Institute: Sharif University

 

Despite all the efforts that have been put toward the study of plastic deformations in the past 81 years, there is currently no generally accepted theory explaining all aspects of it; finding a theory of work hardening is now as hopeless as ever, and research is aimed at establishing a model instead [1].

Implementation of JH-2(Johnson holmquist) constitutive equation in explicit FEM

Submitted by Daisuke FUKUDA on

Dear professionals,

I'm self-developing explicit 3-D hybrid FEM/DEM code using GPGPU for my research regarding Penetration of projectile into rock.

In the code, I'm incorporating JH-2(Johnson holmquist) constitutive model.

Although this constitutive mode has been implemented in LS-DYNA and Abacus Explicit, some implementation detail has not been geven in exsisting literature. I mean, I reviewed several literature but I only found a flowchart of implementation of JH2 from Table 1 in

"Imperfection" in graphene oxide invites surprising properties in a mechano-chemical way

Submitted by Xiaoding Wei on

In an article published in the August 20 issue of Nature Communications, we report a mechanochemical phenomenon in graphene oxide membranes, covalent epoxide-to-ether functional group transformations that deviate from epoxide ring-opening reactions, discovered through nanomechanical experiments and density functional-based tight binding calculations.

WHO WE ARE:

Potential surface and yield surface

Submitted by shivanirani on

Hello,

Would you please tell me the basic difference between potential plastic surface and yield surface with a physical meaning, if possible. I know that if both the surfaces match, then it is associated flow-rule, otherwise it is a non-associative flow rule.

I know that this is a very basic question, but I am facing difficulty in completely understanding it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Post-doctoral Position in Theoretical and Computational Solid Mechanics at Los Alamos National Laboratory

Submitted by Hashem Mourad on

The Fluid Dynamics and Solid Mechanics Group (T-3) at Los Alamos National Laboratory is currently seeking outstanding candidates for a post-doctoral research position in the areas of solid mechanics, constitutive modeling, computational methods, and multi-scale modeling and simulation techniques. The prospective candidate is expected to take part in theory and computational method development for the effective representation of plasticity, damage and failure in solid materials.

CECAM Workshop "Chemical and structural transformations in materials under mechanical load"

Submitted by pastewka on

We are pleased to announce a 4-day CECAM/Psi-k Workshop on

"Chemical and structural transformations in materials under mechanical load",

 that will take place at the EPFL campus in Lausanne from Tuesday 1st September to Friday 4th September 2015.

The focus of the workshop will be on materials’ structural and chemical transformations that are caused by external loads and in turn determine the materials macroscopic mechanical response. Particular attention will be devoted to the following thematic areas:
