Constitutive Law

This anisotropic MPM material is a small strain, linear viscoelastic material that extends the Viscoelastic Material to model anisotropic viscoelasticity. The stress (σ) and strain (ε) are related by:

      [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma(t) = \mathbf{C}(t) * \varepsilon(t) }[/math]

Here [math]\displaystyle{ * }[/math] indicates convolution (or Boltzman's superposition) between time-dependent stiffness tensor ([math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{C}(t) }[/math]) and strain tensor. In Voight-notation with unique axis in the z direction, the time-dependent stiffness tensor is

      [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbf{C}(t) = \left[\begin{array}{cccccc} K_T(t)+G_T(t) & K_T(t)-G_T(t) & \ell(t) & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ K_T(t)-G_T(t) & K_T(t)+G_T(t) & \ell(t) & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \ell(t) & \ell(t) & n(t) & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & G_A(t) & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & G_A(t) & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & G_T(t) \end{array}\right] }[/math]

Here [math]\displaystyle{ K_T(t) }[/math] is the plane strain, bulk modulus, [math]\displaystyle{ G_T(t) }[/math] is the transverse shear modulus, [math]\displaystyle{ G_A(t) }[/math] is the axial shear modulus, and [math]\displaystyle{ n(t) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \ell(t) }[/math] give time-dependence of the C33 and C13=C23 elements of the stiffness tensor (as defined here). The time dependence of each property is modeled with a sum of exponentials:

      [math]\displaystyle{ K_T(t) = K_{T0} + \sum_{k=1}^{N_{KT}} K_{Tk} e^{-t/\tau_{KT,k}} \qquad G_T(t) = G_{T0} + \sum_{k=1}^{N_{GT}} G_{Tk} e^{-t/\tau_{GT,k}} \qquad G_A(t) = G_{A0} + \sum_{k=1}^{N_{GA}} G_{Ak} e^{-t/\tau_{GA,k}} }[/math]

      [math]\displaystyle{ n(t) = n_0 + \sum_{k=1}^{N_n} n_k e^{-t/\tau_{n,k}} \qquad\qquad \ell(t) = \ell_0 + \sum_{k=1}^{N_\ell} \ell_k e^{-t/\tau_{\ell,k}} }[/math]

In terms of axial modulus [math]\displaystyle{ E_A }[/math], and Poisson's ratio, [math]\displaystyle{ \nu_A }[/math], we can write:      

      [math]\displaystyle{ n(t) = E_A(t) + 4K_T(t)\nu_A(t)^2 \qquad\qquad \ell(t) = 4K_T(t)\nu_A(t) }[/math]

This material lumps all these time dependencies into [math]\displaystyle{ n(t) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \ell(t) }[/math], but note that selection of those properties will determine time dependencies of [math]\displaystyle{ E_A(t) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \nu_A(t) }[/math]

      [math]\displaystyle{ \nu_A(t) = {\ell(t)\over 2K_T(t)} \qquad {\rm and} \qquad E_A(t) = n(t) - \frac{\ell(t)^2}{K_T(t)} }[/math]

Rotated Material Axes

The initial axial direction is along the z axis (or θ axis for axisymmetric calculations). The axial direction can be changed to any other direction using the same method used to orient transversely isotropic elastic material with the swapz material property.

Isotropic with Time-Dependent Bulk Modulus

The available isotropic viscoelastic material is limited to materials with time-independent bulk modulus because that is a good approximation for most isotropic, viscoelastic materials. These transversely-isotropic materials, however, do not place any restrictions on which properties are time dependent. As result, it can model an isotropic material with a time-dependent bulk modulus as a special case. Imagine an isotropic material with K(t) and G(t) as time-dependent bulk and shear moduli, respectively. To model using a transversely isotropic material, choose GA(t) = GT(t) = G(t) along with:

      [math]\displaystyle{ K_T(t) = K(t) + \frac{G_T(t)}{3},\quad n(t)= K(t) + \frac{4G_T(t)}{3},\quad {\rm and}\quad \ell(t) = K(t) - \frac{2G_T(t)}{3} }[/math]

Finally, any other material properties (such as thermal expansion coefficients) should be set to the special cases for an isotropic material.

Effective Time Implementation

This material handles effect of temperature and solvent concentration on relaxation times by the same methods used for isotropic viscoelastic materials.

Elastic Mechanical Properties

This material handles effect of temperature and solvent concentration on elastic properties by the same methods used for isotropic viscoelastic materials.

Material Properties

The unusual task for this material is to use multiple terms to define the exponential series used for up to five material properties.

Property Description Units Default
GT0 The long term (or fully-relaxed) transverse shear modulus pressure units none
GA0 The long term (or fully-relaxed) axial shear modulus pressure units none
KT0 The long term (or fully-relaxed) plane-strain bulk modulus pressure units none
en0 The long term (or fully-relaxed) C33 element of the stiffness tensor pressure units none
ell0 The long term (or fully-relaxed) C13=C23 elements of the stiffness tensor pressure units none
ntaus The number of relaxation times of the previous long-term property that was entered. This property is only needed in XML files and must come before any subsequent Pk or tauk properties. In scripted files, the number is automatically determined from the number of relaxation times you provide. none none
Pk The next property in the series for the previous long-term property that was entered. Use multiple Pk values for each term on the series. pressure units none
tauk The next relaxation time in the series for the previous long-term property that was entered. Enter multiple tauk values for each term on the series. time units none
Tref Reference temperature to shift relaxation times using the WLF equation. If Tref<0, then no shifting is done and relaxation times will be independent of temperature. K -1
C1 Coefficient in WLF equation used when Tref≥0 to shift relaxation times. If the entered value is negative, the thermal shift switches to Arrhenious activation energy with ΔHa = -RC1, none 17.44
C2 Coefficient in WLF equation used when Tref≥0 to shift relaxation times (not used if C1 is negative). none 51.6
mref Reference concentration to shift relaxation times using the WLF-style equation. If mref<0, then no shifting is done and relaxation times will be independent of concentration. K -1
Cm1 Coefficient in WLF-style equation used when mref≥0 to shift relaxation times none 10
Cm2 Coefficient in WLF-style equation used when mref≥0 to shift relaxation times (must be positive) none 0.0625
TI Properties Enter thermal expansion, solvent expansion, and poroelasticity properties as usual for transversely isotropic materials. varies varies
swapz Set to >0 to move axial direction from z axis to the y axis (or from θ axis to Z axis in axisymmetric calculations). This property is only needed for 2D simulations that want axial direction in the analysis plane (it is not allowed in 3D MPM simulations). none 0
(other) Properties common to all materials varies varies

The material properties need to define the time dependence 5 properties. The process for each one is to enter the long-term value first (GT0, GA0, KT0, en0, ell0) and then to follow each one by ntaus (only needed in XML files) and by one Pk and tauk value for each term in the series. Elastic value, or the property values at time zero, are sums of all Pk terms for that property. For example:

      [math]\displaystyle{ G_T(0) = G_{T0} + \sum_{k=1}^{N_{GT}} G_{Tk} }[/math]

Other elastic properties are given by

      [math]\displaystyle{ \nu_A(0) = {\ell(0)\over 2K_T(0)} \qquad {\rm and} \qquad E_A(0) = n(0) - 4K_T(0)\nu_A^2 = n(0) - \frac{\ell(0)^2}{K_T(0)} }[/math]

      [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{E_T(0)} = \frac{1}{4K_T(0)} +\frac{1}{4G_T(0)} + {\nu_A(0)^2\over E_A(0)} \qquad {\rm and} \qquad \nu_T(0) = \frac{E_T(0)}{2G_T(0)}-1 }[/math]

For valid modeling, the initial Poisson's ratios must satisfy

      [math]\displaystyle{ -1\lt \nu_T(0)\lt 1 \qquad -\sqrt{E_A(0)\over E_T(0)} \lt \nu_A(0) \lt \sqrt{E_A(0)\over E_T(0)} \qquad {E_T(0)\nu_A(0)^2\over E_A(0)} \lt {1-\nu_T(0)\over 2} }[/math]

These relations must apply for all time, but only the initial values are validated before starting a simulation.

Deprecated Material Properties

Prior to the swapz material property, there were two types on transversely isotropic viscoelastic materials named "TIViscoelastic 1" and "TIViscoelastic 2". Although these can still be used as the material type, they are deprecated. The prior "TIViscoelastic 1" is identical to this material with swapz=0. The prior "TIViscoelastic 2" material is identical to this material with swapz=1.

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.
