A continuous/discontinuous Galerkin formulation for a strain gradient-dependent damage model
, 2004 The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models that involve gradients of the strain field means that the $C^0$ continuity

On strain hardening mechanism in gradient nanostructures [PDF]
, 2017 Experiments have shown that a gradient design, in which grain size spans over four orders of magnitude, can make strong nanomaterials ductile. The enhanced ductility is attributed to the considerable strain hardening capability obtained in the gradient ...

A Brief Note on the Nix–Gao Strain Gradient Plasticity Theory
Metals, 2018 The mathematical nature of the flow rule for the strain gradient plasticity theory proposed by Nix and Gao (W.D. Nix and H. Gao, J Mech Phys Solids 46(3), 411(1998)) is discussed based on the paradigm developed by Gurtin and Anand (M.E.

Materials & Design, 2022 An analytical flow stress model, based on isotropic strain gradient plasticity theory, for precipitation hardened materials, is proposed and evaluated against tensile data on a 15 wt% Cr - 5 wt% Ni (15-5) PH stainless steel. The 15-5 PH material was aged

Torsion in Strain-Gradient Plasticity: Energetic Scale Effects [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2012 We study elasto-plastic torsion in a thin wire within the framework of the strain-gradient plasticity theory elaborated by Gurtin and Anand in 2005. The theory in question envisages two material scales: an energetic length-scale, which takes into account the so-called “geometrically-necessary dislocations” through a dependence of the free energy on the

Ellipticity loss analysis for tangent moduli deduced from a large strain elastic–plastic self-consistent model [PDF]
, 2009 In order to investigate the impact of microstructures and deformation mechanisms on the ductility of materials, the criterion first proposed by Rice is applied to elastic–plastic tangent moduli derived from a large strain micromechanical model combined ...

Simulation of instabilities in non-softening Drucker-Prager plasticity
Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2023 The problem of instability and strain localization in a hardening non-associative Drucker-Prager plasticity theory is analyzed. The classical and gradient-enhanced versions of the theory are reviewed and instability indicators are summarized.

Constitutive Model of Thin Metal Sheet in Bulging Test Considering Strain Gradient Hardening
Medžiagotyra, 2020 The study of the size effect was one of the most important subjects in the field of micro-forming. To investigate the stress of the thin sheet in the bulging test with the second order size effect, a constitutive equation considering the strain gradient ...

An approach to nonlinear viscoelasticity via metric gradient flows [PDF]
, 2013 We formulate quasistatic nonlinear finite-strain viscoelasticity of rate type as a gradient system. Our focus is on nonlinear dissipation functionals and distances that are related to metrics on weak diffeomorphisms and that ensure time-dependent frame ...

The mechanisms of grain growth of Mg alloys: A review
Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 2022 Grain growth directly influences the plasticity and strength of Mg alloys. As the grain size decreases from the microscale to the nanoscale, the plasticity of Mg alloys continually increases, whereas the strength first increases and later decreases ...
