Finite Element Analysis for the Time-Dependent Inelastic Material Behavior.
Abstract
A representation of inelastic, time-dependent material behavior, due to Bodner and Partom, in which both elastic and inelastic deformations are considered to be present at all stages of loading and unloading, is shown to be well-suited to structural analyses using finite element modeling techniques and high speed digital computation methods. The formulation considerably simplifies the computational logic for non-monotonic and cyclic loading problems since no special unloading criteria or yield conditions are required. Examples demonstrating strain-rate sensitivity, work-hardening, and reversed loading behavior are given for problems in the small strain range.
