Modelled behaviour of granular material during loading and unloading

Krejčí, Pavel, Siváková, Lenka, Chleboun, Jan

Similarity:

The main aim of this paper is to analyze numerically the model behaviour of a granular material during loading and unloading. The model was originally proposed by D. Kolymbas and afterward modified by E. Bauer. For our purposes the constitutive equation was transformed into a rate independent form by introducing a dimensionless time parameter. By this transformation we were able to derive explicit formulas for the strain-stress trajectories during loading-unloading cycles and compare...

Energy dissipation and hysteresis cycles in pre-sliding transients of kinetic friction

Michael Ruderman (2023)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The problem of transient hysteresis cycles induced by the pre-sliding kinetic friction is relevant for analyzing the system dynamics, e.g., of micro- and nano-positioning instruments and devices and their controlled operation. The associated energy dissipation and consequent convergence of the state trajectories occur due to the structural hysteresis damping of contact surface asperities during reversals, and it is neither exponential (i.e., viscous type) nor finite-time (i.e., Coulomb...

Kinematic criteria of dynamic shakedown extended to nonassociative constitutive laws with saturation nonlinear hardening

Alberto Corigliano, Giulio Maier, Slawomir Pycko (1995)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

The class of elastic-plastic material models considered allows for nonassociativity, nonlinear hardening and saturation in the sense that the static internal variables are constrained by a bounding surface described through convex bounding functions. With reference to finite element, generalized variables discretization in space, two dynamic shakedown criteria are established by a kinematic approach in Koiter's sense, based on weak constitutive restrictions and centered on two suitable...

On implicit constitutive theories

Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In classical constitutive models such as the Navier-Stokes fluid model, and the Hookean or neo-Hookean solid models, the stress is given explicitly in terms of kinematical quantities. Models for viscoelastic and inelastic responses on the other hand are usually implicit relationships between the stress and the kinematical quantities. Another class of problems wherein it would be natural to develop implicit constitutive theories, though seldom resorted to, are models for bodies that are...

On a computational approach to multiple contacts / impacts of elastic bodies

Vala, Jiří, Rek, Václav

Similarity:

The analysis of dynamic contacts/impacts of several deformable bodies belongs to both theoretically and computationally complicated problems, because of the presence of unpleasant nonlinearities and of the need of effective contact detection. This paper sketches how such difficulties can be overcome, at least for a model problem with several elastic bodies, using i) the explicit time-discretization scheme and ii) the finite element technique adopted to contact evaluations together with...
