This paper proposes a combined plastic and creep constitutive model of A533B1 pressure vessel steel to simulate progressive deformation of nuclear pressure vessels under severe accident conditions. To develop the model, recent tensile test data covering a wide range of temperatures (from RT to 1,100 ℃) and strain rates (from 0.001%/s to 1.0%/s) was used. Comparison with experimental data confirms that the proposed combined plastic and creep model can well reflect effects of temperature and strain rate on tensile behaviour up to failure. In the companion paper (Part II), the proposed model will be used to simulate OECD lower head failure (OLHF) test data.

암반의 거동을 예측하기 위해 1980년 발표된 Hoek-Brown 모델은 지속적인 개선과 더불어 수많은 문제들을 해결하기 위해 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 Hoek-Brown 모델의 유한요소법 등 수치해석에 대한 적용성에 관한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 Hoek-Brown 모델을 일반적 소성론 절차에 따라 구성모델로 정식화하여 그 특징을 살펴보았고, 수치적 문제점을 유발하게 되는 항복면의 모서리부를 곡면으로 처리한 Rounded Hoek-Brown 모델을 제시하였다. 제안모델은 탄소성 구성모델로서의 요구조건들을 만족하며, 압축측에서 원래의 Hoek-Brown 모델과 동일한 항복면을 갖는다. 제안 모델을 일반적인 비선형 유한요소해석에 적용하기 위하여 제안 모델의 구성방정식을 수립하였다.

Constitutive models for final stage densification of metal powder compacts with power-law creep deformation were investigated. The constitutive models were implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) by using user subroutine CREEP and, from FEM results, useful densification curves were obtained when hydrostatic and uniaxial stress were applied to the powder compacts at various pressures and temperatures. Because the densification behavior varied as the constitutive models, the equivalent stress surface on each constitutive equation was investigated to analyze the difference of densification behavior.

A strain-gradient crystal plasticity constitutive model was developed in order to predict the Hall-Petch behavior of a Ni-base polycrystalline superalloy. The constitutive model involves statistically stored dislocation and geometrically necessary dislocation densities, which were incorporated into the Bailey-Hirsch type flow stress equation with six strength interaction coefficients. A strain-gradient term (called slip-system lattice incompatibility) developed by Acharya was used to calculate the geometrically necessary dislocation density. The description of Kocks-Argon-Ashby type thermally activated strain rate was also used to represent the shear rate of an individual slip system. The constitutive model was implemented in a user material subroutine for crystal plasticity finite element method simulations. The grain size dependence of the flow stress (viz., the Hall-Petch behavior) was predicted for a Ni-base polycrystalline superalloy NIMONIC PE16. Simulation results showed that the present constitutive model fairly reasonably predicts 0.2%-offset yield stresses in a limited range of the grain size.

This paper is concerned with modified integration algorithm on the strain-space for rate and temperature dependent elasto-plastic constitutive relations in order to obtain more accurate results in numerical implementation. The proposed algorithm is integrated analytically using integration by part and chain rule and then is applied to the 2-stage Lobatto IIIA with second-order accuracy. It has advantage that is able to consider the convective stress rates on the yield surface of the strain-space. Also this paper is carried out the iteration procedure using the Newton-Raphson method to enforce consistency at the end of the step. And the performance of the proposed algorithm for rate and temperature dependent constitutive relation is illustrated by means of analysis of adiabatic shear bands.

A three-dimensional constitutive modeling for reinforced concrete is presented for finite element nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete. The targets of interest to the authors are columns confined by lateral steel hoops, RC thin shells subjected to combined in-plane and out-of-plane actions and massive structures of three-dimensional (3D) extent in shear. The elasto-plastic and continuum fracture law is applied to pre-cracked solid concrete. For post cracking formulation, fixed multi-directional smeared crack model is adopted for RC domains of 3D geometry subjected to monotonic and reversed cyclic actions. The authors propose a new scheme of decomposing stress strain fields into sub-planes on which 2D constitutive laws can be applied. The proposed model for 3D reinforced concrete is experimentally verified in both member and structural levels under cyclic actions.

The results from a systematic study of the response of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy under quasi-static and dynamic loading at different strain rates and temperatures are presented. It has been shown that the work-hardening rate decreased as the strain rate and the strain increased. The correlations and predictions using modified KHL (Khan-Huang-Liang) viscoplastic constitutive model are compared with those from JC (Johnson-Cook) model and experimental observations. Overall, KHL model correlations and predictions compared much more favorably than the corresponding JC model predictions and correlations.

In the study, a hybrid constitutive model for densification of metallic powders was applied to cold isostatic pressing. The model is based on a pressure-dependent plasticity model for porous materials combined with a dislocation density-based viscoplastic constitutive model considering microstructural features such as grain size and inter-particle spacing. Comparison of experiment and calculated results of microscale and nanoscale Cu powders was made. This theoretical approach is useful for powder densification analysis of various powder sizes, deformation routes and powder processing methods.

In this paper, two neural networks as a material model, which are based on the state-space method, have been proposed. One outputs the rates of inelastic strain and material internal variables whereas the outputs of the other are the next state of the inelastic strain and material internal variables. Both the neural networks were trained using input-output data generated from Chaboche's model and successfully converged. The former neural network could reproduce the original stress-strain curve. The neural network also demonstrated its ability of interpolation by generating untrained curve. It was also found that the neural network can extrapolate in close proximity to the training data.

In this paper a new constitutive model for ductile materials was proposed. This model can describe the material degradation due to the evolution of isotropic damage during elasto-platic deformation. The plastic flow rule was derived under the framework of thermodynamic approach of continuum damage mechanics(CDM) in which plastic strain hardening parameters and isotropic damage were taken as thermodynamic state variables. And the process to determine material constants for constitutive model using an experimental data was presented.
