ELAMET

Description

Elastic constitutive law coupled with metallurgical effects for solid at variable temperature

The model

Non-linear analysis of elastic solids coupled with thermal and metallurgical analysis.

The phase transformations induce modifications of the elastic moduli, volume changes. The temperature changes induce thermal expansion.

This constitutive law must be used together with law THMET

All the material parameters of this constitutive law are stored on a separate data file available to the pre-processor. The description of this file is with the law METAMEC.

Stresses

Number of stresses

6 for 3D 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 state:

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 the other cases:

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