The presliding displacement and stiction properties of friction models are investigated. It is found that existing single-state-variable friction models possess either stiction or presliding displacement. Next, those models with continuous states are interpreted as examples of Prandlt’s elasto-plastic material model. A class of general one-state models is derived that is stable, dissipative and...

In this work, we present a deep neural network architecture that can efficiently surrogate classical elasto-plastic constitutive relations. The is enriched with crucial physics aspects of elasto-plasticity, including additive decomposition strains into elastic and plastic parts, nonlinear incremental elasticity. This leads to Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) model named here as Elasto-Pla...

In this paper, the linearly conforming enriched radial basis point interpolation method is implemented for the elasto-plastic analysis of discontinuous medium. The linear conformability of the method is satisfied by the application of stabilized nodal integration and the enrichment of radial basis functions is achieved by the addition of linear polynomial terms. To implement the method for the ...

An R-minimum strategy, which was proposed and successfully applied to analyse the non-linear finite deformation behaviours of elasto-plastic materials (e.g. [1] [2]), is extended and applied here to simulate the deformation behaviours of the rate-dependent materials. It involves no iterations, thus belongs to the static-explicit algorithm and avoids the convergence problem resulting from nonlin...

A new elasto-plastic thin-shell finite element of the absolute nodal coordinate formulation allowing for large deformation and rotation is proposed based on Kirchhoff–Love theory layered plastic model. The von Mises yield criterion plane-stress with linear isotropic hardening adopted in constitutive description material. Owing to constraint, special treatment should be given stress update algor...

An efficient full-field method of computing the local and homogenized macroscopic responses of elasto-plastic polycrystalline microstructures based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm is presented. This approach takes realistic microstructure images as the input and estimates the mechanical response/properties of polycrystal microstructures under periodic boundary conditions without r...

Thermo-Elasto-Plastic analyses of thick-walled spherical tanks made of functionally graded materials are investigated analytically. These tanks are subjected to positive or negative temperature gradient and internal pressure loadings separately or simultaneously. The power law modeling has been used for through-the-thickness variation of mechanical properties. von Mises yield criterion and Elas...
