Abstract In this talk, we present some analytical results concerning localized instabilities in stretched soft cylinders with residual-stress effect. Within the framework of finite elasticity, a bifurcation analysis is carried out based on the incremental theory. It is found that with the residual stress effect taken into consideration additional singularities of the incremental equations appear. To overcome this difficulty we apply the Stroh formulism and an expansion methodology and derive a bifurcation condition. Then we consider three loading scenarios and perform a detailed analysis of the bifurcation behaviors. It turns out that the zero mode, giving rise to localization, is always… More >

Abstract Necking is a bifurcation phenomenon observed in round bars under tensile loading and has been investigated in numbers of papers. In the present work, it is modeled within the framework of finite rate-independent plasticity. The theory is based on thermodynamic foundations developed for standard materials and results in a total Lagrangian formulation for finite plasticity, where the total strain is decomposed additively according to [Green and Nagdhi 1965)] and the hardening is characterized by a nonlinear isotropic hardening law of the saturation type.
The discretization and consistent linearization of the elastic-plastic equation set using the standard finite element procedure… More >

Abstract This work aims to understand the texture distribution in the localized necking band formed during uni-axial tension of AA5754 using an edge-constrained, plane strain post-necking FE model. The model domain is a long cross section of the band. Initial grain structure is mapped into the mesh from EBSD data using a modified Voroni-cell interpolation and considering pre-straining prior to localized necking. The material points in grains are assumed to exhibit isotropic elastoplastic behavior but have a relative strength in terms of Taylor factors which are updated by a Taylor-Bishop-Hill model. The predicted textures and gradients within the localized necking band… More >
