Description

Von Mises type constitutive law for 3D shell (COQJ4) element numerically integrated on the thickness.

The model

This law is only used for mechanical analysis of elastoplastic isotropic hardening. Numerical integration on the thickness is used.

Results

Stresses

SIG(1)$N_x$, normal effort in the local X‑direction
SIG(2)$N_y$, normal effort in the local Y‑direction
SIG(3)$N_{xy}$, normal effort in the local X-Y plan
SIG(4)$M_x$, moment associated to the local X‑direction
SIG(5)$M_y$, moment associated to the local Y‑direction
SIG(6)$M_{xy}$, moment associated to the local X-Y plan

State variables

Q(1)thick, the actual thickness for this IP.
Q(2) $\sigma_y^e$, the equivalent VM type stress integrated through the thickness of this IP
Q(3)Yield, index of stress state for this IP
= 0, the stress state in this IP is elastic.
= 1, it is elastoplastic.
Repeat NPI times ($K = 3 + (IPI-1)*6$)
Q(K+1) $\sigma_y$, the yield stress at this IP in the thickness.
Q(K+2) Yield, index of stress state for this IP in the thickness.
Q(K+3) $\varepsilon_{ep}^p$, equivalent plastic strain at this IP in the thickness.
Q(K+4) $\sigma_{11}$, the local stress at this IP in the thickness.
Q(K+5) $\sigma_{22}$, idem.
Q(K+6) $\sigma_{12}$, idem.

the total number of state variables is equal to $3 + NPI*6$
