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.

History Variables

History variable 1 will be 0 for the initial state and 1 for the deformed state after a transition. This variable can be archived as history1.
