Constitutive Laws
This MPM material has separate constitutive laws for deviatoric stress and pressure.
Deviatoric Constitutive Law
The deviatoric constitutive law is always a small-strain, linear viscoelastic material with time-dependent shear modulus, G(t), which is given by a sum of n exponentials:
[math]\displaystyle{ G(t) = G_0 + \sum_{i=1}^n G_i e^{-t/\tau_i} }[/math]
Here G0 is the long-time shear modulus and the short-time shear modulus is the sum:
[math]\displaystyle{ G(0) = \sum_{i=0}^n G_i }[/math]
The updates for components of the deviatoriic stress become
[math]\displaystyle{ ds_{ij} = 2\left( G(0) de_{ij} - \sum_{k=1}^n G_k d\alpha_{ij,k} \right) }[/math]
where αij,k are a series of internal variables that are tracked in history variables on each particle.
Pressure Constitutive Law
The pressure constitutive law has two options. The first in to use a small strain linear elastic law with pressure increment of
[math]\displaystyle{ dP = -K(d\varepsilon_{xx} + d\varepsilon_{yy} + d\varepsilon_{zz} - 3d\varepsilon_{res}) }[/math]
where K is the time-independent bulk modulus and other terms are applied or residual strain increments. To use this law, which is the default, set pressureLaw to 0 and enter the bulk modulus K.
The second option is to use then Mie-Grüneisen equation of state (MGEOS). To use this law, which is only allowed in OSParticulas, set pressureLaw to 1 and enter the MGEOS parameters C0, gamma0, S1, S2, and S3.
Material Properties
The unusual task for this material is to use multiple Gk and tauk properties (all with the same property name) to enter a material with multiple relaxation times.
| Property | Description | Units | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| ntaus | The number of relaxation times. This property is only needed in XML files and must come before any Gk or tauk properties. In scripted files, the number is automatically determined from the number of relaxation times you provide. | none | none |
| G0 | The long term (or fully-relaxed) shear modulus | pressure units | 0 |
| Gk | The shear modulus for the next relaxation time. Enter multiple Gk properties to have multiple relaxation times. | pressure units | none |
| tauk | The the next relaxation time. Enter multiple tauk properties to have multiple relaxation times. | time units | none |
| alpha | Thermal expansion coefficient | ppm/K | 40 |
| pressureLaw | Picks the constitutive law use for time independent pressure. The options are 0 to linear elastic law and 1 to use MGEOS equation of state. | none | 0 |
| K | Time-independent bulk modulus (when using linear elastic law) | pressure units | none |
| C0 | The bulk wave speed (when using MGEOS law) | alt velocity units | 4004 |
| gamma0 | The γ0 parameter (when using MGEOS law) | none | 1.64 |
| S1 | The S1 parameter (when using MGEOS law) | none | 1.35 |
| S2 | The S2 parameter (when using MGEOS law) | none | 0 |
| S3 | The S3 parameter (when using MGEOS law) | none | 0 |
| (other) | Properties common to all materials | varies | varies |
The total number of Gk and tauk properies must be equal. In XML files, that total number must match the supplied ntaus property.
Viscoelastic Solids and Liquids
If G0 is not zero, the material is a viscoelastic solid, which means the shear stress at infinite time reamains a finite number. Viscoelastic solids are used to model materials such as elastomers that do not show long time flow due to their cross links or have a plateau shear modulus equal to G0.
If G0 is zero, the material is a viscoelastic liquid that will flow like a liquid if you wait long enough. For example, to emulate a liquid (i.e., similar to a Tait Liquid Material), set G0 to zero, use a single relaxation time with tauk short (on time scale of the simulation), and set the one Gk modulus (in pressure units) to:
[math]\displaystyle{ G_1 = {\eta\over 2\tau_1} }[/math]
where [math]\displaystyle{ \eta }[/math] is desired viscosity of the liquid in cP and [math]\displaystyle{ \tau_1 }[/math] is the single relaxation time in seconds.
History Variables
This material tracks internal history variables (one for each relaxation time and each component of stress) for implementation of linear viscoelastic properties, but currently none of these internal variables are available for archiving.
