Two stress update algorithms for large strains: accuracy analysis and numerical implementation

Two algorithms for the stress update (i.e., time integration of the constitutive equation) in large-strain solid mechanics are compared from an analytical point of view. The order of the truncation error associated to the numerical integration is deduced for each algorithm a priori, using standard n...

Descripción
Sumario:Two algorithms for the stress update (i.e., time integration of the constitutive equation) in large-strain solid mechanics are compared from an analytical point of view. The order of the truncation error associated to the numerical integration is deduced for each algorithm a priori, using standard numerical analysis. This accuracy analysis has been performed by means of a convected frame formalism, which also allows a unified derivation of both algorithms in spite of their inherent differences. Then the two algorithms are adapted from convected frames to a fixed Cartesian frame and implemented in a small-strain finite element code. The implementation is validated by means of a set of simple deformation paths (simple shear, extension, extension and compression, extension and rotation) and two benchmark tests in non-linear mechanics (the necking of a circular bar and a shell under ring loads). In these numerical tests, the observed order of convergence is in very good agreement with the theoretical order of convergence, thus corroborating the accuracy analysis.
