Abstract: | The deformation of round tensile bars subject to dynamic loading is studied numerically using two different plasticity theories: J2-flow theory and J2-deformation theory. Time development of neck localization is visualized and a comparison of the necking patterns obtained using the two different constitutive models is presented. The possibility of using J2-deformation theory as an alternative to J2-flow theory to model the dynamic behaviour of tensile bars subject to high rate deformation is investigated and the effects of elastic unloading are discussed. Influence of specimen geometry and initial thickness imperfections is also considered. The effects of elastic unloading on multiple necking are of particular interest, since elastic unloading may serve as a restricting factor regarding the growth of multiple neck localizations. In the present analysis, multiple necking is found to appear using both J2-flow theory and J2-deformation theory. The use of stubby bars leads to similar necking patterns when comparing the results obtained with J2-flow theory and J2-deformation theory. For slender bars subject to certain loading conditions a larger number of necks is obtained when J2-deformation theory is applied rather than J2-flow theory. In addition, results of simulations near the ideal-plastic limit are discussed as well as results where the yield stress is varied. |
