Material Modeling with the Visco Plastic Self Consistent VPSC Approach Excerpt :
Material Modeling with the Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent (VPSC) Approach: Theory and Practical Applications provides readers with both a foundational knowledge of material viscoplasticity as well as a robust modeling approach for predicting plastic deformation of crystal aggregates. Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent (VPSC) is the identifier of a computer code developed by the authors based on the specific mechanical regime addressed (visco-plastic: VP) and the approach used (self-consistent: SC) meant to simulate large plastic deformation of aggregates, thermo-elastic material deformation, as well as predict stress-strain response, texture evolution of aggregates, and stress-strain state inside grains. This approach is very versatile, able to tackle arbitrary material symmetry (cubic, hexagonal, trigonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic), twinning, and multiphase aggregates. It accounts for hardening, reorientation, and shape change of individual grains, and can be applied to deformation of metals, inter-metallics, and geologic aggregates. Readers will have access to a companion website from where they can download the code and modify its input/output or add subroutines covering specific simulation research needs. Highlights a modeling approach that allows readers to accurately predict stress-strain response, texture evolution of aggregates, and internal stress states inside grains while also accounting for hardening, reorientation, and shape change of individual grains Features modeling techniques that can be applied to deformation of metals, inter-metallics, and geologic aggregates Covers the theoretical aspects of homogeneous effective medium models as they apply to the simulation of plasticity and elasticity Provides several practical examples and applications of materials of different symmetry subjected to different deformation conditions Includes access to a companion website from where readers can download the code and modify its input/output or add subroutin
