Cyclic thermomechanical elasto-viscoplasticity implementation using user material interfaceNagode, Marko (Avtor) Oman, Simon (Avtor) Klemenc, Jernej (Avtor) Šeruga, Domen (Avtor) finite element methodthermomechanical loadingelasto-viscoplasticityfatiguecreepdissipated energyThe paper introduces a user material for Abaqus, detailing the modeling of elasto-viscoplasticity under diverse thermomechanical conditions. Converting constitutive equations into a robust code requires extensive efforts to solve numerous crucial numerical challenges. In addition to deriving the equations, detailing the code is also crucial for an efficient implementation of a rheological model. The algorithm for multiaxial Prandtl operator approach presented here provides both. The subroutines of the numerical code are explained in detail and solutions to ensure numerical stability are demonstrated. The multiaxial Prandtl operator approach allows a simple and effective calculation of fatigue damage, creep damage, e.g., or dissipated energy using available uniaxial methods. To demonstrate practical application, the paper illustrates the usefulness of the code by analyzing perforated plates under tension–compression and shear loading. This contribution enriches the computational modeling of elasto-viscoplasticity for the finite element method.20252025-06-06 09:04:12Članek v reviji169615sl
