Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention expresses a single tensile compression test using a relational expression of stress and viscoplastic strain (hereinafter referred to as a constitutive equation of viscoplasticity), and creates a program that can be used for tensile compression simulation. Also, since the plastic strain rate can be obtained, a stiffness matrix of the finite element method can be formed.
Background Art
[0002] Currently, in my case, the formulation of the crystal plasticity finite element method has been done. Due to the crystal orientation, anisotropy, kinematic hardening, and isotropic hardening can be achieved. However, a method of using kinematic hardening and isotropic hardening in a simpler way has been invented. Here, a method of representing kinematic hardening in a constitutive equation, which is a relational expression of stress and strain, is used. By doing this, it is possible to create a tensile compression simulation that can also consider the Bauschinger effect and the initial elastic region. Also, since the plastic strain rate can be obtained, it is considered applicable to the finite element method.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] In the crystal plasticity finite element method, due to the use of crystal orientation, anisotropy can be achieved. Also, kinematic hardening such as the Bauschinger effect can be achieved by introducing a back stress. Isotropic hardening can also be achieved. This time, it was examined whether isotropic hardening and kinematic hardening can be achieved using a macroscopic yield function. Kinematic hardening introduces a back stress. Here, the reliability of the constitutive equation is obtained in a tensile compression simulation. Since the crystal orientation can be omitted, the finite element method and the tensile compression simulation can be simplified.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] Constitutive formula for viscoplasticity The constitutive equations for stress and strain are shown below. This formula The product of the initial yield stress D and the Taylor factor M is If TIFF2026123132000001.tif76 exceeds a certain value, it indicates a significant increase in distortion. This results in the file TIFF2026123132000002.tif85. This is a uniaxial tensile test. TIFF2026123132000003.tif65 represents equivalent stress. The following is the formula. TIFF2026123132000004.tif2229TIFF2026123132000005.tif106 are material constants, and 0.01 is preferred. Let m be a constant (for example, 0.005). D = 60 MPa. M = 2.3. The macroscopic yield function is derived using isotropic hardening and kinematic hardening. TIFF2026123132000006.tif146 is a unit vector and determines the direction.
[0006] Here, we represent the yield function due to mobile hardening. TIFF2026123132000007.tif47134 Let f be the plastic strain rate potential. The direction of the plastic strain rate increment h, which includes dynamic hardening, coincides with the partial derivative of the plastic potential with respect to stress. Using this perpendicularity law, we obtain the following equation. TIFF2026123132000008.tif1294 TIFF2026123132000009.tif72142 Similarly TIFF2026123132000010.tif5168TIFF2026123132000011.tif4495TIFF2026123132000012.tif7473TIFF2026123132000013.tif6574 The shear stress components are TIFF2026123132000014.tif2334 Therefore, TIFF2026123132000015.tif2760 Therefore, the plastic strain rate is TIFF2026123132000016.tif3542 (1.4)

Although qualitative, kinematic hardening can be determined from compression and tensile tests of stress-strain curves. The vertical axis represents stress.

[0017] The program for uniaxial tensile test simulation was calculated using equations (1.1), (1.2), (1.4), (1.5), and (1.6). A finite element method program using equations (1.1), (1.2), (1.4), (1.5), and (1.6), with equation (1.7) being used. [Industrial applicability]
[0018] It can be used to simplify the formulation of the finite element method. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0019] Figure 1 shows stress on the vertical axis and strain on the horizontal axis. Equations (1.1), (1.2), (1.4), (1.5), and (1.6) are shown. It is expressed using [this method]. In conclusion, the type of hardening—isotropic or kinematic—is determined by the back stress coefficient C, which is the back stress. If back stress is included in the constitutive equation, the yield function will be isotropic hardening, but kinematic hardening will also be present. Figure 2 shows the anisotropy resulting from a change in the Taylor factor. The Taylor factor is the reciprocal of the Schmidt law and simplifies the crystal orientation. Figure 3 shows the node numbers for one element. There are eight nodes in this element.
