A GTN-like Model for Plastic Porous Materials
Journal Title: Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
An extended version of the well-known Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) isotropic hardening model is presented in this paper. The yield function of the proposed constitutive model possesses the distinctiveness to explicitly depend upon the third stress invariant. The presented constitutive model is used to analyze the necking of a round tensile bar. As long as softening initiation of specimen is not reached, the obtained numerical results highlight similarities and good agreement with those provided by the use of the GTN model. However, discrepancy shows up as soon as specimen failure starts.

3D Centrifuge Modeling of the Effect of Twin Tunneling to an Existing Pile Group
In densely built urban areas, it is inevitable that tunnels will be constructed near existing pile groups. The bearing capacity of a pile group depends on shear stress along the soil-pile interface and normal stress unde...
Supply Chain Cooperation by Agreed Reduction of Behavior Variability: A Simulation-based Study
Supply chain echelons normally base their operational decisions on average values of the parameters that depend on other members. However, in real-life operation the variability of said parameters decreases the link prof...
A Modified Approach of OPTICS Algorithm for Data Streams
Data are continuously evolving from a huge variety of applications in huge volume and size. They are fast changing, temporally ordered and thus data mining has become a field of major interest. A mining technique such as...
A Novel Voltage Divider Circuit
A novel analog divider is described in this paper. The circuit enables the division of a dc voltage with another dc voltage. The constant of the division is dependent upon a third dc voltage and a pair of resistors. Empl...
