A study of the mechanical behaviour of a composite ®lm-substrate material during the hardness test is undertaken. An analytical calculation is proposed applying the kinematic model to the case of the coated spherical cavity problem. The aim of this paper is to discuss the parameters that in ̄uence the mechanical behaviour, in order to understand the observed experimental results. The parameters ...

Gradient plasticity at large strains with kinematic hardening is analyzed as quasistatic rate-independent evolution. The energy functional with a frame-indifferent polyconvex energy density and the dissipation are approximated numerically by finite elements and implicit time discretization, such that a computationally implementable scheme is obtained. The non-selfpenetration as well as a possib...

Abstract In this work the finite element (FE) implementation of small strain cyclic plasticity is discussed. The family elastoplastic constitutive models considered which uses mixed, kinematic-isotropic hardening rule. It assumed that kinematic governed by Armstrong–Frederick law. radial return mapping algorithm utilized to discretize general form equation. A relation for consistent tangent ope...

We study topology optimization in quasi-static plasticity with linear kinematic and isotropic hardening using a level-set method. consider the primal variational formulation for problem. This is subjected to penalization regularization, resulting an approximate problem that shape-differentiable. The shape derivative computed adjoint Thanks proposed time discretization of proved be well-posed. F...

Electronic power modules devices are paramount components in the aeronautical, automotive and military applications. The solder layers are the most critical parts of the module and are usually subjected in their whole life to complex loading conditions. To improve the design task, realistic thermoelastoviscoplastic and lifetime prediction models which can describe efficiently the deformation-da...

Metallic nanowires usually exhibit ultrahigh strength but low tensile ductility owing to their limited strain hardening capability. Here we study the unique strain hardening behavior of the five-fold twinned Ag nanowires by nanomechanical testing and atomistic modeling. In situ tensile tests within a scanning electron microscope revealed strong strain hardening behavior of the five-fold twinned...

a comparison between design codes i.e. aci and aisc-lrfd in evaluation of flexural strength of concrete filled steel tubular columns (cfts) is examined. for this purpose an analytical study on the response of cfts under axial-flexural loading is carried using three-dimensional finite elements with elasto-plastic model for concrete with cracking and crushing capability and elastoplastic kinemati...
