The prediction of the inelastic behavior of the structure is an essential part of reliability assessment procedure, because most of the failures are induced by the inelastic deformation, such as creep and plastic deformation. During decades, there has been much progress in understanding of the inelastic behavior of the materials and a lot of inelastic constitutive equations have been developed. These equations consist of the definition of inelastic strain and the evolution of the state variables introduced to quantify the irreversible processes occurred in the material. With respect to the definition of the inelastic strain, the inelastic constitutive models can be categorized into elastoplastic model, unified viscoplastic model and separated viscoplastic model and the different integration methods have been applied to each category. In the present investigation, the generalized integration method applicable for various types of constitutive equations is developed and implemented into ABAQUS by means of UMAT subroutine. The solution of the non-linear system of algebraic equations arising from time discretization with the generalized midpoint rule is determined using line-search technique in combination with Newton method. The strategy to control the time increment for the improvement of the accuracy of the numerical integration is proposed. Several numerical examples are considered to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the present method.

The paper presents a methodology to model three-dimensional reinforced concrete members by means of embedded discontinuity elements based on the Continuum Strong Discontinuous Approach (CSDA). Mixture theory concepts are used to model reinforced concrete as a 3D composite material constituted of concrete with long fibers (rebars) bundles oriented in different directions embedded in it. The effects of the rebars are modeled by phenomenological constitutive models devised to reproduce the axial non-linear behavior, as well as the bond-slip and dowel action. The paper presents the constitutive models assumed for the components and the compatibility conditions chosen to constitute the composite. Numerical analyses of existing experimental reinforced concrete members are presented, illustrating the applicability of the proposed methodology.

Nowadays, steel fiber reinforced concretes (SFRCs) are widely used in practical applications. Significant experimental research has thus been carried out to determine the constitutive equations that represent the behavior of SFRCs under multiaxial loadings. However, numerical modelling of SFRCs via FEM has been challenging due to the complexities of the implementation of these constitutive equations. In this study, following the literature, a plasticity model is constructed for the behavior of SFRCs that involves the Willam-Warnke failure surface with the relevant evolution laws and a non-associated flow rule for determining the plastic deformations. For the precise (yet rapid) integration of the constitutive equations, an explicit substepping scheme consisting of yield intersection and drift correction algorithms is employed and thus implemented in ABAQUS via UMAT. The FEM model includes various material parameters that are determined from the experimental data. Three sets of parameters are used in the numerical simulations. While the first set is from the experiments that are conducted in this study on SFRC specimens with various contents of steel fibers, the other two sets are from the experiments reported in the literature. The response of SFRCs under multiaxial compression obtained from various numerical simulations are compared with the experimental data. The good agreement between numerical results and the experimental data indicates that not only the adopted plasticity model represents the behavior of SFRCs very well but also the implemented integration scheme can be employed in practical applications of SFRCs.

In recent years. finite element methods have been used with increasing effectiveness in analysis of displacements and stresses within soil masses. However, one of the weakest links in the analytical representations used in these methods is the models of the material behaviour. Herein is discribed a modification to the finite element methods that allows solution problems with realistic stress-strain relation for soils. A finite element program for the precision prediction of the stress distribution within foundation has been developed using the elasto-plastic Work-Hardening model. The developed program is verified by comparing the results of this study with the tested results for Sacramento river sand. The main results obtained from the numerical examples are as follows: The vertical total stress increments are insensitive to drainage and constitutive equation of materials. The horizontal total stress increments are considerably affected by the drainage and constitutive equation of materials. The maximum shear stresses are affected by the drainage only in elasto-ptastic meterirals. The excess pore water pressures and the volumetric strains not only are considerably affected by the constitutive equation of materials. but also have almost similar distribution.

The automotive and electronic industries have seriously considered the use of magnesium alloys because of their excellent properties such as strength to weight ratio, EMI shielding capability, etc. However, it is difficult to form magnesium alloys at room temperature because of the mechanical deformation related to twinning. Hence, magnesium alloys are normally formed at elevated temperatures. In this study, a temperature dependent constitutive model, the C-H/V model, for the magnesium alloy AZ31B sheet is proposed. A hardening law based on nonlinear kinematic and H/V(Hollomon/Voce) hardening model is used to properly characterize the Bauschinger effect and the stabilization of the flow stress. Material parameters were determined from a series of uni-axial cyclic experiments(C-T-C) with the temperature ranging between 150 and $250^{\circ}C$. The developed models are fit to experimental data and a comparison is made.

초탄성 형상기억합금은 상온에서 소성 범위를 초월하여 상당량의 변위를 가하더라도 하중을 제거 후에 별도의 열처리를 가하지 않더라도 원상태로 복원이 가능한 특수한 금속이다. 자동치유가 가능한 형상기억합금의 특유한 재료적인 성질로 인하여 구조물에서 변위가 집중되는 부분에 기존에 주로 사용되는 강재를 대체하여 이러한 특수 합금 재료가 널리 활용되기 시작하였다. 하지만 형상기억합금을 활용한 구조물의 기본적인 설계와 성능 검증을 하기 위해 고등적인 구조해석에 필요한 재료적인 모델의 개발과 연구의 노력이 부족하기 때문에 본 재료를 현장에서 적용하기에는 여전히 많은 제약을 받고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초탄성 형상기억합금의 거동을 수치해석적인 방법으로 재현이 가능한 구성적인 재료 모델의 소개와 프로그램 코딩에 대하여 다루고자 한다. 또한 본 연구에서 제시된 재료 모델의 타당성을 입증하기 위하여 수치해석적으로 재현된 물리적인 거동을 실험에서 얻어진 데이터에 비교 및 보정 작업도 수행하였다. 아울러 이러한 재료 모델로 구현된 초탄성 형상기억합금의 물리적인 물성치를 구조 해석에 적용하고 정확성을 검증하여 현장 적용의 타당성을 입증하였다.

설계 또는 해석을 위해 고무를 모델링할 때, 쓸 수 있는 구성방정식이 너무 많음으로 말미암아 종종 당황하거나 수수께끼 같은 일을 경험할 때가 있다. 어떤 모델들은 몇 개의 재료상수만을 갖지만 또 다른 모델들은 많은 수의 재료상수를 갖는다. 연구자들은 광범위한 실험데이터를 준비하여 신중하게 피팅을 하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 8배 정도까지 큰 신장 영역에 대해 대표적인 고무재료의 구성방정식들을 비교해 보았다. 대부분의 공학적 응용에서처럼 상대적으로 변형이 적은 경우에는 연속체기반모델 또는 체인분자모델이 유사하게 쓰일 수 있지만, 대부분 생체적 거동에서 볼 수 있는 큰 변형의 경우에는 체인분자모델들이 더 유용함을 알 수 있었다. 구성방정식에 따른 분기점의 존재 여부를 알아보기 위하여 트렐로어 패치와 원통형 막대풍선에 대한 분기점 해석을 이론적 및 수치적으로 수행하였다. 키슬리의 조건식으로부터 트렐로어 패치에서의 분기점은 연속체기반 모델에서는 존재하였으나 체인분자모델에서는 존재하지 않음을 보였다. 원통형 막대풍선은 축신장 허용의 경계조건에 대해서는 모든 모델들이 분기점 거동을 보여주었다. 따라서 고무의 분기점 거동을 구하고자 할 때는 분기점의 존재유무 자체가 재료모델의 선정에 의존적이라 할 수 있다.

This work deals with unilateral effect of quasi-brittle materials, such as concrete. For this propose, a two-dimensional meso-scale model is presented. The material is considered as a three-phase material consisting of interface zone, matrix and inclusions - each constituent modeled by an appropriate constitutive model. The Representative Volume Element (RVE) consists of inclusions idealized as circular shapes randomly placed into the specimen. The interface zone is modeled by means of cohesive contact finite elements developed here in order to capture the effects of phase debonding and interface crack closure/opening. As an initial approximation, the inclusion is modeled as linear elastic as well as the matrix. Our main goal here is to show a computational homogenization-based approach as an alternative to complex macroscopic constitutive models for the mechanical behavior of the quasi-brittle materials using a finite element procedure within a purely kinematical multi-scale framework. A set of numerical examples, involving the microcracking processes, is provided. It illustrates the performance of the proposed model. In summary, the proposed homogenization-based model is found to be a suitable tool for the identification of macroscopic mechanical behavior of quasi-brittle materials dealing with unilateral effect.

The modeling of the mechanical behavior of quasi-brittle materials is still a challenge task, mainly in failure processes when fracture and plasticity phenomena become important actors in dissipative processes which occur in materials like concrete, as instance. Many homogenization-based approaches have been proposed to deal with heterogeneous materials in the last years. In this context, a computational homogenization modeling for concrete is presented in this work using the concept of Representative Volume Element (RVE). The material is considered as a three-phase material consisting of interface zone (ITZ), matrix and inclusions-each constituent modeled by an independent constitutive model. The Representative Volume Element (RVE) consists of inclusions idealized as circular shapes symmetrically and nonsymmetrically placed into the specimen. The interface zone is modeled by means of cohesive contact finite elements. The inclusion is modeled as linear elastic and matrix region is considered as elastoplastic material. A set of examples is presented in order to show the potentialities and limitations of the proposed modeling. The consideration of the fracture processes in the ITZ is fundamental to capture complex macroscopic characteristics of the material using simple constitutive models at mesoscopic level.

반복하중을 받는 도로 노반체의 경우 회복탄성계수를 이용한 해석 및 설계 방법이 이루어지고 있는데 유사한 형태의 하중조건인 철도 노반체의 경우에도 그 거동은 크게 다르지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 현상적인 특성을 감안하여 본 논문에서는 회복탄성계수를 기반으로 하는 구성방정식을 상용 유한요소 해석 프로그램에 적용하였다. 일반적으로 K-${\theta}$ 혹은 Uzan 모델을 기반으로 수치해석 프로그램과의 접목이 이루어져 왔다. 이러한 모델의 기본 가정은 반복하중으로 인하여 재료의 상태는 비선형탄성 상태까지 도달한 조건으로 보고 있으므로 추가적인 반복하중으로 인한 재료의 거동은 탄성구간 내에서만 발생하는 것으로 가정하고 있다. 그러나 점성토에 대한 회복탄성실험 결과를 보면 하중의 재하 횟수 증가에 따라 영구변형이 발생하는 상황이므로 기존의 모델을 사용한다면 발생하는 영구변형을 충분히 모델링 할 수 없게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 실험결과로부터 도출된 소성특성과 간단한 파괴기준을 적용하여 영구변형이 발생하는 조건에서 구성모델을 개발하였으며 개발된 모델의 적용결과는 실험 결과값과 잘 일치하는 것으로 확인되었다.
