Constitutive Law

This MPM material is two small-strains materials (each with same constitutive law as an isotropic material). The two material states are linked by a transition rule and the transition between the two states can be reversible or irreversible.

The transition between the two states is determined either by a "dilation" rule, a "distortion" rule, or a "Von Mises" stress rule (as determined by the transition property). With a dilation rule, the transition occurs when the volumetric strain

      [math]\displaystyle{ {\Delta V\over V} = \varepsilon_{xx}+\varepsilon_{yy}+\varepsilon_{zz} }[/math]

reaches the entered critical value. WIth a distortion rule, the transition occurs when the second strain invariant:

      [math]\displaystyle{ I_2 = \sqrt{{1\over 2}\sum_{i,j}\varepsilon_{ij}'\varepsilon_{ij}'} }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon_{ij}' }[/math] is deviatoric strain tensor, reaches a critical value. By a Von Mises stress rule, the transition occurs when the Von Mises stress

      [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{VM} = \sqrt{\sum_{i,j}\sigma_{ij}'\sigma_{ij}'} }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{ij}' }[/math] is is deviatoric stress, reaches a critical value. When using a dilation rule, the new stress-strain relation can include a changed offset in volumetric strain corresponding to stress-free conditions at a non-zero dilation relative to the initial state (see DeltaVOffset property). This change normally leads to an instantaneous change in stress upon transition. When using a distortion or Von Mises stress rule, the offset is ignored and the change is only a change in slope of mechanical properties.

Material Properties

The material properties for each state and the transition rules are set using:

transition Set to "dilation" (or 1), "distortion" (or 2), or "vonmises" (or 3) to select the transition model none dilation
critical The critical volumetric strain to induce a dilation transition (in precent strain), critical strain invariant to induce a distortion transition (in percent strain), or critical Von Mises stress to induce a vonmises transition (in pressure units). varies none
DeltaVOffset An offset volumetric strain in the transformed state. This property only applies for dilation rule. alt strain units 0
reversible Make the transition reversible (if "yes" or 1) or irreversible (if "no" or 0). In XML files, use a <reversible/> or an <irreversible/> element to set the type of transition. none no
(other) Properties common to all materials varies varies

The state properties can only be entered using bulk and shear moduli. See these relations to covert other properties (such as modulus and Poisson's ratio) to bulk and shear moduli.

History Variables

History variable 1 will be 0 for the initial state and 1 for the deformed state after a transition.
