An Effective Computational Approach for the Numerical Simulation of Elasto-/Viscoplastic Solid Materials

An Enhanced Viscoplastic Constitutive Model for Semi-Solid Materials to Analyze Shear Localization

Semi-solid materials undergo strain localization and shear band formation as a result of granular nature of semi-solid deformation. In the present study, to analyze the shear localization, a unified viscoplastic constitutive model was developed for the homogeneous flow. Then, a linearized analysis of the stability performed by examining the necessary condition for the perturbation growth. For t...

An Elasto-viscoplastic Contact Problem: an a Posteriori Error Analysis and Computational Experiments

In this paper, we reconsider a contact problem between an elasto-viscoplastic body and a deformable obstacle. The contact is modeled by the classical normal compliance contact condition. Then, fully discrete approximations are obtained by using the finite element method to approximate the spatial variable and the forward Euler scheme to discretize time derivatives. An a posteriori error analysi...

Particle-based viscoplastic fluid/solid simulation

Simulations of viscoplastic materials are traditionally governed by continuum mechanics. The viscous behavior is typically modeled as an internal force, defined by diverse quantities. This work introduces a fluid model to simulate the viscoplastic effect of solid materials, such as plastic, wax, clay and polymer. Our method consists in modeling a solid object through a non-Newtonian fluid with ...
