1.1 Background : Incremental load

When the deformation of a structure is so small that its initial geometry hardly changes, thedeformation is referred to as ”geometrically linear”.

In this tutorial we will analyze problems, where deformations are large. This is referred to as”geometrically nonlinear” deformation. For the analysis to yield accurate results, it will be neededto prescribe the final load in a number of incremental steps.

The plate is loaded in its plane. We will prescribe the horizontal displacement of the left- andright edge (x = ±8 [cm]) to be u = 10 [mm] in 10 steps of 1 [mm]. Upper and lower edge are freeto move, so the y-displacement is unconstrained.

The material behavior is assumed to be isotropic, linearly elastic, according to Hooke’s law,with Young’s modulus E = 210 [GPa] and Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.3.

Only the upper right quarter of the plate is modeled, which necessitates the introduction ofsymmetry conditions on the edges x = 0 and y = 0.

1.2.1 Modeling, analysis and results

Model the upper right quarter of the plate. Make proper BOUNDARY CONDI-

TIONS for the symmetry conditions.

The displacement of the right edge is discribed to be 10 [mm] after 10 equalincremental steps.

The displacement is prescribed as a function of the (fictitious) time t. To thispurpose a TABLE of type ’time’ is made, leading to a figure with the horizontaltime-axis and the vertical function-axis f(t). The total prescribed displace-ment on time t is then : u(t) = u0f(t), where u0 is the displacement whichis prescribed in FIXED DISPLACEMENT. We want to prescribe a linear functionf(t) = t and do this by using a (FORMULA).

The prescribed displacement apply4 is defined as a function of the (fictitious)time, which is defined in a TABLE of type ”time”. The total analysis time ischosen to be 10 ’seconds’, so the time axis has a maximum length of 10. Thenumber of steps is 10. Load case time and number of incremental steps isspecified in (ANALYSIS) LOADCASE. Each increment takes 1 ”second” and theincremental displacement is 1 [mm].

Now we are ready and SAVE the model as platelargedef. Run MARC and lookat the results with Mentat.

1.3 Background : Iterative analysis

Looking at the results reveals that the deformation of the plate is large, so geometrically nonlinear.Because the element stiffness matrix depends on the element geometry, it changes during theanalysis. In the .log file it can be seen that only in the first increment the line start of assembly isprinted. This indicates that the matrix is calculated only once and not updated afterwards. Thismeans that the results cannot be accurate. We can change this by using some options in Mentat.

Close the results file and open the initial model file. We go to the JOBS section to make somechanges.

LARGE STRAIN

OK

Ready ! Save the model and run the job. When it is finished, look at the .logfile.

We see that the stiffness matrix is made at the beginning of each increment (start of assembly). Itis also obvious that each incremental analysis takes more time. In each increment lines are printedconcerning convergence.

All this results from the application of the option LARGE STRAIN. Use of this option implies thatlarge rotations (max 10o) and fairly large strains (max 10%, incremental 2%) can be handeledquite well. In each increment the iterative solution technique is used, where in a number of stepssubsequent solutions for the equilibrium equations are determined. When these subsequent so-lutions are gradually better, the iteration process is said to converge; The iterative procedure isnever used in the first or null- increment, so that deformations in this increment must always bevery small. The influence of stresses in the stiffness matrix are taken into account and a so-calledresidual load correction is applied to compensate for the inaccuracy of the iterative solution.

The option UPDATED LAGRANGE is set by default. It implies that the Updated Lagrange formulationis used, which means that the begin-increment state is taken as a reference for strains. The optionis not available for all elements. In MARC manual Volume B it can be found which elements usethis option.

When it is deselected, and only LARGE STRAIN is used, the initial undeformed state is used as areference for the strains. In the material model, the 2nd-Piola-Kirchhoff stress is related to theGreen-Lagrange strain and also the input material parameters relate these variables. In ”jobresults” strain and stress are respectively Green-Lagrange strain and 2de-Piola-Kirchhoff stress.Cauchy stresses are sometimes calculated (see Volume B of the MARC manual, which describesthe elements).

A short explanation.

In the deformed state the nodal displacements u˜

have to be determined such that nodal equilibrium

is satisfied. This implies that the internal nodal forces f˜

imust equal the external nodal forces f

˜e.

For a linear problem, the internal forces are a linear function of the nodal displacements, whichcan then be solved directly from :

i= f

˜i(u˜) = Ku

˜= f

˜e

where K is the constant stiffness matrix.For a non-linear problem, with large deformations and/or non-linear material behavior, the

internal forces are no longer a linear function of the nodal displacements. The nodal equilibriumis represented by a set of nonlinear equations :

i(u˜) = f

˜e

To determine the nodal displacements, such that this set of equations is satisfied, an iterativeprocedure is followed, which is illustrated in the figure below, where u

˜, f

˜i

and f˜

ehave to be

considered to be ”measures” for the columns proper. The origin of the plot represents the knownstate at the beginning of the increment. The nodal displacements w.r.t. the undeformed state areu˜

The tangent at f˜

i(u˜) represents the stiffness matrix K(u

˜), which has to be calculated at the

beginning of each iteration. In each iteration, a linear set of equations has to be solved to determinethe change of the last approximation u

˜∗, yielding the iterative nodal displacements

˜= f

˜e− f

˜i(u˜∗) = r

˜∗

When the calculated solution u∗ is ”good enough” acording to a certain criterion, the iterationprocess is said to be converged. The convergence limit has to be specified in the input file. Alsoother parameters of the iterative procedure can be changed, but default values are mostly good.

The figure above shows a converging iterative solution process : the subsequent approximationsapproach the exact solution u

˜o. The difference between f

˜i

and f˜

e, the residual or residual load

r˜∗, is decreasing. It may happen, and it indeed often does, that the subsequent solutions do not

improve, but are becoming less good approximations. When this happens, the program MARCwill stop after a (specified) maximum number of iteration steps, printing the error message exit

number 3002. We can try to reach a solution with more iteration steps or a smaller incrementalload.

When the convergence criterion is satisfied, the approximate solution u˜

c will not exactly concidewith the unknown exact solution u

˜o. This means that the nodal equilibrium is not satisfied exactly.

The difference between f˜

eand f

˜iis taken into account in the next increment, which is referred to

as residual load correction.

2 Contact problems

2.1 Background : The CONTACT-option in MARC

The option CONTACT can be used to detect and take into account contact between various bodiesor between parts of one and the same body, during an analysis. Contact conditions like frictionand adhesion can be taken care of. Contact bodies can be rigid or deformable. The option isespecially useful, when it is not known on beforehand where or when contact will occur. Usingthe option CONTACT is associated with some rules :

- At least one deformable body is needed in contact.- When the model is made, the deformable bodies must be defined before the rigid bodies.- One node or element can be a part of only one contact body.- No coordinate axis transformation is allowed in a contact node.- No tying or servolink can be defined in a node which may come into contact with a rigid

body.- Contact bodies are defined internally in the program MARC during the first or null-incrrment.

When CONTACT is used, it is not allowed to apply INITIAL LOADS which are not zero.

For accurate results and good convergence the next recommandations are given in the MARCmanual :

- Deformable contact bodies with smaller elements in the (potential) contact region must bedefined before contact bodies with larger elements.

- Define smaller deformable contact bodies before larger ones.- Define deformable contact bodies with lower stiffness before those with higher stiffness.- Define first the convex contact bodies.- Use CONTACT TABLES to decrease analyses times.

Young’s modulus = 5 [GPa]

The tube is made of a compliant elastic material with given Young’s modulus E and Poisson’sratio ν : E = 5 [GPa] and ν = 0.45 [-].

The tube, which sits on a rigid floor, is compressed by a die, which moves vertically downward,until the height is reduced to 70% of the undeformed outer tube diameter. It can be assumed thatthe material behavior remains elastic during the deformation.

During deformation, the contact area between tube and floor and tube and die will increasegradually. To analyze this contact problem, some contact bodies (CONTACT BODIES), indicated inthe figure, have to be defined in the option CONTACT. The floor and the die are modeled as rigid,while the tube is obviously deformable.

In a rigid contact body, the material is found at one side of the contact lineor surface. To visualize the side where the material is located, we use theoption ID CONTACT. The resulting ”hairy lines” indicate the material, and itshould obviously be inside the body. When the material (so the lines) are atthe wrong side, the line CURVE) or surface has to be ”flipped” in FLIP CURVES.Set ID CONTACT OFF (toggle) after checking.

The movement of the rigid die is applied by prescribing its velocity as a functionof time, in this case only in negative y-direction. This is done with a TABLE oftype time having a function value f(t) This function f is multiplied with theconstant velocity v0 to give the velocity as a function of time : v(t) = v0f(t).We assume the velocity to be constant, so we make f(t) = 1 and end up withv(t) = v0. The displacement of the die is : u(t) = v0t.

2.3 Exercise

2.3.1 Compressing a thick-walled tube with a deformable die

The tube is now compressed by a deformable die. Dimensions are indicated in the figure below.

Young’s modulus = 5 [GPa]Poisson’s ratio = 0.45 [-]

10 [cm]

contact body III : rigid

contact body I : deformable

6 [cm]

1 [cm]

The die is assumed to behave elastically with Young’s modulus E = 20 [GPa] and Poisson’s ratioν = 0.3 [-].

The downward motion of the die is realized by prescribing nodal displacements in FIXED DIS-

PLACEMENT as a function of (fictitious) time, using a ”time” table. Rigid motion of the die has tobe prevented.

Using default options for convergence testing will lead to problems, due to the default conver-gence criterion (RESIDUAL LOADS). Can you explain why these problems occur? Convergence canbe reached by choosing RESIDUAL DISPLACEMENTS as convergence criterion (in LOAD CASE).

3 Elasto-plastic material behavior

3.1 Background : Yield criterion and hardening

When deformation is large, the material will deform plastically resulting in permanent deforma-tion after load release. A tensile bar will yield, i.e. start to deform plastically, when the axialstress σ equals the initial yield stress σy0. For two- and three-dimensional stress states the stresscomponents are combined into a scalar effective or equivalent stress, σ̄, which is compared to theinitial yield stress in a yield criterion. When compression and tension results in yielding for thesame absolute value of σ̄, the yield criterion can be written as :

σ̄2 = σ2y0

The much used Von Mises equivalent stress is formulated as a function of the principal stressesσ1, σ2 and σ3. The yield criterion is :

12{(σ1 − σ2)

2 + (σ2 − σ3)2 + (σ3 − σ1)

2} = σ2y0

When the stresses increase after reaching the initial yield stress, the yield criterion remains sat-isfied. The increased equivalent stress equals the actual yield stress σy , which is higher than theinitial value. The yield stress increases due to plastic deformation. This is described by a hard-ening law, which relates σy to the effective plastic strain ε̄p. For linear isotropic hardening therelation is :

σy = σy0 + Hε̄p

where H is a constant hardening coefficient.

We will prescribe the horizontal displacement of the left- and right edge (x = ±8 [cm]) to beu = 10 [mm] in 10 steps of 1 [mm]. Upper and lower edge are free to move, so the y-displacementis unconstrained.

The material is isotropic. Young’s modulus E, Poisson’s ratio ν and the initial yield stress σy0

are : E = 210 [GPa], ν = 0.3 [-] and σy0 = 500 [MPa] . Upon reaching the initial yield stress, thematerial hardens according to the linear isotropic hardening rule :

σy = σy0 + Hε̄p

where H is the hardening constant : H = E/20 = 10.5 [GPa].

Select in JOB RESULTS also Plastic Strain (epl-strain).

The deformation of the plate is large. Even when we do not activate theoption LARGE STRAIN, the iterative procedure is used in each increment. It isused automatically when plastic deformation occurs.

Selecting the ADDITIVE plasticity procedure (default) implies that the materialmodel is a relation between the rate of the Cauch stress (σ̇) and the strain rate(ε̇). The stress increment is determined by integration of this relation. Becausethis integration is done numerically, the incremental strains cannot be to large.

with ε0 = 0.01 and n = 0.23.

Do the analysis with a prescribed load on the right edge. Choose EDGE LOAD

with pressure = −250 [MPa]. Reduce the load to zero affter reaching themaximum value and consider the permanent deformation of the plate.

Material parameters for the plate material are :

Young’s modulus : E = 210000 [N/mm2]Poisson’s ratio : ν = 0.3 [-]initial yield stress : σy0 = 300 [N/mm2]

During elastoplastic deformation the material hardening is isotropic, with constant hardening pa-rameter H = E/20 [N/mm2].
