Dedicated to the memory of Juan C. Simo for his seminal contributions to solid and computational mechanics Large deformation generalized plasticity is presented in a covariant setting. For this purpose, the tensor analysis on manifolds is utilized and the manifold structure of the body as well of the ambient and the state space is postulated. On the basis of the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and plastic parts and the use of hyperelastic stress-strain relations, a large deformation elastoplasticity model is proposed. Computational aspects and the predictions of the model under uniaxial and biaxial straining are also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
