Theoretical framework –
in FEA, the material is specified to conduct simulation and analyze how a particular material behaves under certain stress and loading condition.
attention should be provided to the material type chose and the material properties provided. there could be different material properties needed as input to fully characterize a material for analysis purposes. Any unclear or illogical data provided during material characterization will lead to uncertain results
choosing the right material and providing reliable material data in performing a simulation is very important.
RADIOSS provides one of the most comprehensive material and rupture libraries in the industry. the material laws and rupture criteria span across definitions for concrete, foam, rubber, steel composite, biomaterials and more.
Then, materials are categorized in two forms called.
1)In the form of material card / material laws
2) in the form of material properties.
In the form of material cards/laws
Law 1 – elastic.
Law 2 – Jhonson-cook
Law 27 – elastic-plastic brittle
Law 36 – elastic-plastic tabulated
Law 42 – ogden (visco hyperelastic )
Law 70 – foam
In the form of material properties
Isotropic elastic
Isotropic Elastoplast
Composite and anisotropic
Viscous
Hydrodynamic
Explosive.
Important LAW & PROPERTIES
1-Isotropic Elastic (law 1).
In this, there is a card for “elastic hooks law ”as the name suggest .in this card material only follows hooks law that is when we deform material it will regain its shape and size once force is removed
But in the large deformations, it is most likely that material goes beyond elastic and yield limit
So it is recommended to avoid this card for large deformation
On other hand, it is useful when we have to analyze vibration or simple static analysis where the material comes under the elastic region
And yield point is failure criteria for this
2-Isotropic Elasto-plastic (law 2)
This law represents an isotropic elastic-plastic material using Jhonson cooks material model
This model expresses material stress as a function of strain rate and temperature. A built-in failure criterion based on the max plastic strain is available
In this model, the material behaves as a linear-elastic material when the equivalent stress is lower than the plastic yield stress. For higher stress values, the material behaviour is plastic, and the true stress is calculated as:(1)
σ=(a+bεp^n)(1+cln*ε˙/ε0)(1−(T∗)^m)
Where,(2)
T∗=T−Tr / Tmelt−Tr
Where,
εp Plastic strain
ε˙ Strain rate
T Temperature
Tr Ambient temperature
Tmelt Melting temperature
Jhonson cooks model allows us to use the failure model
3-Elastic Plastic Piecewise linear material (PLAS_TAB/LAW 36)
It is the most used property card in the industry
In real-life situations, we are not always able to determine the exact properties of the material
So what happened is in simulation from Jhonson cook or any other we might not get the result as close to lab results because it has some limitation
Therefore it is important to stick close to lab data as close as possible
Basically, the idea is
- To test the material at a different strain rate
- Input these values to user-defined PLAS_TAB card
- Which gives more mature results
LAW 27 (PLAS_BRIT)
Elastoplastic material for brittle use for layered-glass/glass
LAW 42 (OGDEN)
It is a viscoelastic material used for rubber-like material
LAW 70 (FOAM_TAB)
I
Procedure:
Case 1- law 2 _epsmax_failure
Import the given FAILURE_JHONSON_0000.rad file into radioss, using import solver deck option
Verify below recommended shell properties and material properties
Ishell = 24, Ismstr = 2 , Ish3n = 2 , N = 5 , Ithick = 1 , Iplas = 1


In this case, we run the simulation without changing anything
Go to –analysis –radioss
Change the input file location and rename it
As law2 _epsmax_failure_0000.rad

From the above pic, -nt 4 means 4 CPUs runs simulation at a single time
Click on radioss
After running simulation open law2_epsmax_failure_0001.out file
And note the value


Here we number of cycles as 49379 energy error as -0.3 to 0.8 mass error as 0.00 ,

And simulation time as 210.10 sec
After checking the errors, open the then case, 1 model, in hyper view and view it in von misses contour

Max von misses stress is 275.5 mpa at node 3812
In this case, we took M2_PLAS_JHONS as a card
M2_PLAS_JOHNS is an elastoplastic material so element is deleted once it reaches the EPS_p_max value
In this case EPS_p_max is 0.151. it means elements will be deleted when plastic strain energy reaches 15% of total strain energy.
To plot graphs switch to hypergraph
Upload the TO1 file


Before element deletion, internal energy increases linearly this increase is due to the formation of strain energy
Max internal energy is nearly 28000 j
Max kinetic energy is 180
Total energy = internal energy + kinetic energy + potential energy (negligible)
Compare to internal energy, kinetic energy is very less i.e total energy curve coincides with the internal energy
And hourglass energy and contact energy remained constant as we have used QEPH shell formation.
Case 2 – law2_epsmax_crack
Changes the properties of fail_johnson card to Ifail_sh=1 , Dadv = 1 , Ixfem = 1

Following the above-mentioned procedure to run the simulation and rename it as law2_epsmax_crack _0000.rad
After completing the simulation open law2_epsmax_crack_0001.out


This have number of cycle as 49216 , energy error as -0.3 to 4.1 % , mass error 0.000

And simulation time as 211.09 sec
After checking the errors, open the then case, 2 model, in hyper view and view it in von misses contour

Max von misses stress is 295.1 mpa at node 4380
In this case, we took M2_PLAS_JHONS as a card
M2_PLAS_JHONS is an elasto plastic material so element are deleted once the reaches the EPS_p_max value
In this case, EPS_p_max is 0.151 it means the element will be deleted when plastic strain energy reaches 15 % of the total strain energy
Because of Ixfem =1 element is not scattered similar to case 1
Compare to case 1, stresses are generated a little more in this case


The behaviour of the graph is similar to case 1
Max. internal energy more than 30000j
Max. kinetic energy is 210
Compare to internal energy, kinetic energy is very less i.e total energy curve almost coincides with the internal energy curve
Case 3- law2_epsmax_nofail

Max von misses stress is 270.7 mpa at node 3812
In this case, we have taken M2_PLAS_JHONS as a card
M2_PLAS_JHONS is an elasto plastic material so element are deleted once the reaches the EPS_p_max value
In this case EPS_p_max is 0.151 it means the element will be deleted when plastic strain energy reaches 15 % of the total strain energy
Compare to case 1, stress is generated a little less in this case.


The behaviour of the graph is similar to case 1
Max. internal energy is more the 27500j

After completing simulation open law2_0001.out file


This has a number of cycles as 48736, energy error as -0.3 to 3.0 %, mass error 0.000
After checking the errors, open the then case 4 model in hyper view and view it in von misses contour



Max von misses stress is 424.7 mpa at node 3+984
In this case, elements are not deleted, because EPS_P_MAX is zero it means the material will fail when it reaches its 100% strain energy
Due to elements are not getting deleted, the resistance of the plate is increased hence more stresses are generated
Max internal energy is more than 65000j
Max kinetic energy is 3.75
Internal energy generated in this case is more than cases 1,2,3
In previous cases, element gets deleted so less internal energy was generated but in this case, elements are not deleted hence more internal energy developed
Case 5 – law1_ elastic
In this case convert the material model to law1 with the same density, E and nu
