A Numerical Algorithm for Elasto-Plastic Material Deformation

Hyun-Cheol Hwang

Kyungwon University

Abstract

We present the numerical algorithm for the model for high-strain rate deformation in hyperelastic-viscoplastic materials based on a fully conservative Eulerian formulation by Plohr and Sharp. We use a hyperelastic equation of state and the modified Steinberg and Lund's rate dependent plasticity model for plasticity. A two-dimensional approximate Riemann solver is constructed in an unsplit manner to resolve the complex wave structure and combined with the second order TVD flux. Numerical results are also presented.

Keywords: elastoplasticity, viscoplasticity, conservation laws, material deformation
