Web14 Apr 2024 · A mechanism-based theory of strain gradient plasticity (MSG) is proposed based on a multiscale framework linking the microscale notion of statistically stored and geometrically necessary dislocations to the mesoscale notion … Webstrain gradient plasticity theory (Gudmundson, 2004; Fleck and Willis, 2009). Previous crack tip asymptotic studies considered earlier gradient plasticity classes, such as couple …
Mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity - I. Theory
Webtional theories of plasticity. It should be noted that strain gradient plasticity probably does not apply to situations at the scales at which the above experiments were conducted. In these cases, the number of dislocations in the specimens is small and the discrete nature of the dislocations comes into the picture. WebStrain-gradient plasticity theories are reviewed in which some measure of the plastic strain rate is treated as an independent kinematic variable. Dislocation arguments are invoked in … lock n load wheel chock

Web13 Dec 2016 · The strain gradient elasticity theory including only three independent material length scale parameters has been proposed by Zhou et al. to explain the size effect phenomena in micro scales.In this paper, the general formulations of strain gradient elasticity theory in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates are derived, and then are specified … WebHere, materials and mechanics aspects of two prominent strain gradient theories of plasticity, due to Nix and Gao and to Fleck and Hutchinson, are assessed within the … WebA second gradient of dilatancy formulation is employed to avoid spurious mesh-dependent behavior originating from the softening of the coupled damage-plasticity model. The approach is validated by comparing numerical predictions and in situ observations during and after tunnel excavation in terms of displacements, pore water pressure evolution and … lock n load tie downs
