A robust and efficient substepping scheme for the explicit numerical integration of a rate‐dependent crystal plasticity model

This paper describes the development of efficient and robust numerical integration schemes for rate‐dependent crystal plasticity models. A forward Euler integration algorithm is first formulated. An integration algorithm based on the modified Euler method with an adaptive substepping scheme is then proposed, where the substepping is mainly controlled by the local error of the stress predictions within the time step. Both integration algorithms are implemented in a stand‐alone code with the Taylor aggregate assumption and in an explicit finite element code. The robustness, accuracy and efficiency of the substepping scheme are extensively evaluated for large time steps, extremely low strain‐rate sensitivity, high deformation rates and strain‐path changes using the stand‐alone code. The results show that the substepping scheme is robust and in some cases one order of magnitude faster than the forward Euler algorithm. The use of mass scaling to reduce computation time in crystal plasticity finite element simulations for quasi‐static problems is also discussed. Finally, simulation of Taylor bar impact test is carried out to show the applicability and robustness of the proposed integration algorithm for the modelling of dynamic problems with contact.

Computation of the stress intensity factors for repaired cracks with bonded composite patch in mode I and mixed mode

In this study, the finite element method is used to analyse the behaviour of repaired cracks with bonded composite patches in mode I and mixed mode by computing the stress intensity factors at the crack tip. The effects of the patch size and the adhesive properties on the stress intensity factors variation were highlighted. The plot of the stress intensity factors according to the crack length in mode I, shows that the stress intensity factor exhibits an asymptotic behaviour as the crack length increases. In mixed mode, the obtained results show that the Mode I stress intensity factor is more affected by the presence of the patch than that of mode II.
