/MAT/LAW103 (HENSEL-SPITTEL)

Block Format Keyword This law represents an isotropic elastic-plastic material at high temperature using Hensel-Spittel yield stress formula. The yield stress is a function of strain, strain rate and temperature. This material law can be used with an equation of state /EOS.

This material is often used in hot forging simulations. The law parameters are valid only for a given range of temperature and strain rate. This material law is compatible with solid and SPH elements only.

Comments

Yield stress: ¹(1)
$σ_{y} = A_{0} \exp^{m_{1} T} ε^{m_{2}} {\dot{ε}}^{m_{3}} \exp^{\frac{m_{4}}{ε}} {(1 + ε)}^{m_{5} T} \exp^{m_{7} ε}$

Where,

$T$

Temperature in °C

$ε$

True strain $ε = ε_{0} + {\bar{ε}}_{p}$

${\bar{ε}}_{p}$

Equivalent plastic strain

$\dot{ε}$

True strain rate in s^-1

$m_{1}$ - $m_{5}$

Material parameters
In case of purely mechanical simulation, the temperature is computed assuming adiabatic condition:(2)
$T = T_{0} + \frac{η \cdot E_{int}}{ρ C_{p} V}$

Where,

E_int

Internal energy of the element.

$η$

Taylor-Quinney coefficient used as scale of plastic energy, which transfers into heat.

$V$

Volume of the element
There is no strain rate effect if m₃ = 0.
By default, the hydrostatic pressure is linearly proportional to volumetric strain:(3)
$P = K μ$

Where,

$K = \frac{E}{3 (1 - 2 v)}$

Bulk modulus

$μ = \frac{ρ}{ρ_{0}} - 1$

Volumetric strain

An additional Equation of State (/EOS) card can refer to this material to model a nonlinear dependency between hydrostatic pressure and volumetric strain.
This material can be used with the material options, /HEAT/MAT, /THERM_STRESS/MAT, /EOS, and /VISC.
