Comments

The von Mises criteria for viscoplastic flow:
If Iflag = 0:(1)
$Ω_{v m} = σ_{e q} - σ_{M} \sqrt{1 + q_{3} f^{* 2} - 2 q_{1} f^{* 2} \cosh (\frac{3 q_{2} σ_{m}}{2 σ_{M}})}$

If Iflag = 1:(2)
$Ω_{v m} = \frac{σ_{e q}^{2}}{σ_{M}^{2}} + 2 q_{1} f^{*} \cosh (\frac{3}{2} q_{2} \frac{σ_{m}}{σ_{M}}) - (1 + q_{3} f^{* 2}) $

if $σ_{m} > 0$

(3)
$Ω_{v m} = \frac{σ_{e q}^{2}}{σ_{M}^{2}} + 2 q_{1} f^{*} - (1 + q_{3} f^{*^{2}}) $

if $σ_{m} \leq 0$

Where, $σ_{M}$ is the admissible stress, $σ_{m}$ is the trace[ $σ$ ] (hydrostatic stress), $σ_{e q}$ is the von Mises stress, and $q_{1}$ , $q_{2}$ , and $q_{3}$ are the material parameter for Gurson Law,

$q_{3} = q_{1}^{2}$

$f^{*}$ is the specific coalescence function.

$f^{*} = f$ if $f \leq f_{c}$

$f^{*} = f_{c} + \frac{f_{u} - f_{c}}{f_{F} - f_{c}} (f - f_{c})$ if $f > f_{c}$

with

$f_{u} = \frac{1}{q_{1}}$ corresponding to the coalescence function $f_{u} = f^{*} (f_{F})$
If one integration point reaches $f^{*} \geq f_{F}$ , the element is deleted.
If the I_yield flag is not activated (I_yield=0), the yield stress is computed using Cowper-Symond's law:
(4)
$σ_{M} = (A + B ε_{M}^{N}) (1 + {(\frac{\dot{ε}}{c})}^{\frac{1}{p}})$

If the I_yield flag is activated (I_yield=1), the yield stress is computed directly from the Yield stress curves (Tab_ID).
This law is available for shell and solid elements.
In plot files (/TH/SHEL, /TH/SH3N and /TH/BRICK) or animation files (/ANIM), the following variables are available:
- USR1: plastic strain $ε_{M}$
- USR2: $f^{*}$
- USR3: admissible stress $σ_{M}$
- USR4: f
- USR5: $ε$
