ARBTHMET

Description

Elasto-plastic constitutive law coupled with thermal and metallurgical effects in solids

The model

This law is only used for coupled thermal, metallurgical, mechanical analysis of solids submitted to heat flow, metallurgical phase changes and mechanical stresses and strains.

Files

Prepro: LARBTM.F

Availability

Plane stress state NO
Plane strain state NO
Axisymmetric state YES
3D state NO
Generalized plane state YES

Input file

Parameters defining the type of constitutive law

Line 1 (2I5, 60A1)
ILLaw number
ITYPE 350
COMMENT Any comment (up to 60 characters) that will be reproduced on the output listing

Integer parameters

Line 1 (I5)
NINTV = number of sub-steps used to integrate numerically the constitutive equation in a time step.

Real parameters

Line 1 (2G10.0 )
RE initial yield limit ($=R_{eo}$)
ET initial élastomère-plastic tangent modules ($=E_{to}$)

These data are to be given at the initial temperature and for the initial metallurgical composition of the solid. The other data are stored on a data file available to the pre‑processor. The description of this file is with the law METAMEC.

Stresses

Number of stresses

= 6 for the 3-D state
= 4 for the other cases.

Meaning

The stresses are the components of CAUCHY stress tensor in global (X,Y,Z) coordinates.
For the 3-D analysis :

SIG(1)$\sigma_{xx}$
SIG(2)$\sigma_{yy}$
SIG(3)$\sigma_{zz}$
SIG(4)$\sigma_{xy}$
SIG(5)$\sigma_{xz}$
SIG(6)$\sigma_{yz}$

For 2D analysis :

SIG(1)$\sigma_{xx}$
SIG(2)$\sigma_{yy}$
SIG(3)$\sigma_{xy}$
SIG(4)$\sigma_{zz}$

State variables

Number of state variables

6

List of state variables

Q(1) = element thickness (t) in plane stress state
= 1 in plane strain state
= circumferential strain rate ($\dot{\varepsilon_{\theta}}$) in axisymmetric state
= 0 in 3‑D state
= element thickness (t) in generalized plane state
Q(2)current yield limit in tension, its initial value is $=R_{eo}$
Q(3) = 0 if the current state is elastic
= 1 if the current state is elasto‑plastic
Q(4)equivalent plastic strain due to mechanical effects ($\bar{\varepsilon}^p$)
Q(5)equivalent plastic strain due to phase transformations ($\bar{\varepsilon}^{ph}$)
Q(6)current value of the elasto‑plastic tangent modulus; its initial value is $=E_{to}$
