Power of internal forces

• Model variables according to a first gradient theory

MODEL = v , v ⊗∇, p, ∇p velocity v and cumulative plastic strain p are assumed to beindependent degrees of freedom

• Virtual power of internal forces of a subdomain D ⊂ B of thebody

P(i)(v ∗, p∗) =

∫D

p(i)(v ∗, p∗) dV

simple stress tensor σ∼, generalized stresses a (unit MPa), b (unit

MPa.mm), microforces according to [Gurtin, 2002]

• The virtual power density of internal forces is a linear form onthe fields of virtual modeling variables

p(i) = σ∼ : (v ∗ ⊗∇) + a p∗ + b ·∇p∗

• The virtual power density of internal forces is invariant with respect to

superimposed rigid body motion ⇒ σ∼ is symmetric [Germain, 1973a]

Principle of virtual powerIn the static case, ∀v ∗,∀p∗,∀D ⊂ B,

[Germain, 1973b]


Principle of virtual powerIn the static case, ∀v ∗,∀p∗,∀D ⊂ B,

P(i)(v ∗, p∗) = P(c)(v ∗, p∗) + P(e)(v ∗, p∗)

Balance and boundary conditions

The application of the principle of virtual power leads to the

• balance of momentum equation (static case)

(σ∼ − c∼) ·∇ + f = 0, ∀x ∈ B

• balance of generalized moment of momentum equation (staticcase)

(b − b e) ·∇− a + ae = 0, ∀x ∈ B

• boundary conditions

(σ∼ − c∼) · n = t , ∀x ∈ ∂B

(b − b e) · n = ac , ∀x ∈ ∂B

Main comments

• The choice of quadratic potentials with respect to straingradients leads to the existence of a size dependent overalllinear hardening modulus in a laminate microstructure

• The corresponding scaling law according to Aifantis straingradient plasticity (one new material parameter) is 1/l2

• In contrast the micromorphic model (two new materialparameters) leads to a saturation at nano–scales

• Physical metallurgy hints rather at scaling laws of the Orowan(1/l) or Hall-Petch (1/

√l) types

Discussion 51/53

Needed improvements

• Improve constitutive equations; for instance

ρψ(∇p) =√

∇p · A∼ ·∇p

[Conti and Ortiz, 2005, Okumura et al., 2007]

• Add higher order dissipative parts[Forest, 2009, Anand et al., 2012]

• Enhance interface conditions[Gurtin and Needleman, 2005, Acharya, 2007,Gurtin and Anand, 2008]

Discussion 52/53

Extension to crystal plasticity• In crystal plasticity, the relevant variable is not the gradient of the

cumulative plastic strain but rather the dislocation density tensor

Γ∼ = −curlH∼p, H∼ = u ⊗∇ = H∼

e + H∼p

[Cermelli and Gurtin, 2001, Svendsen, 2002]but no effects in laminates...

• A strain gradient and a micromorphic theory can be designed based onthe introduction of the dislocation density tensor in the free energyfunction [Aslan et al., 2011]

• Similar effects arise in laminate microstructures but the overall linearhardening is of kinematic nature

x = curl curlH∼p : m ⊗ n

[Cordero et al., 2010, Cottura et al., 2012]

• Hall–Petch related size effects can be predicted in polycrystals based onfull field simulations[Forest et al., 2000, Bayley et al., 2007, Neff et al., 2009,Bargmann et al., 2010, Cordero et al., 2012,Wulfinghoff and Boehlke, 2012]

• Constitutive equations are still unrealistic...
