Constitution#

This module provides constitutive material formulations.

There are many different pre-defined constitutive material formulations available, including definitions for linear-elasticity, small-strain plasticity, hyperelasticity or pseudo-elasticity. The generation of user materials may be simplified when using frameworks for user-defined functions, like hyperelasticity (with automatic differentiation) or a small-strain based framework with state variables. However, the most general case is given by a framework with functions for the evaluation of stress and elasticity tensors in terms of the deformation gradient.

Detailed API Reference

class felupe.ConstitutiveMaterial[source]#

Base class for constitutive materials.

A constitutive material definition, or so-called umat (user material), is a class with methods for evaluating gradients and hessians of the strain energy density function with respect to the defined fields in the field container, where the gradient of the first (displacement) field is passed as the deformation gradient. For all following fields, the field values (no gradients) are provided. An attribute x=[np.zeros(statevars_shape)] has to be added to the class to define the shape of optional state variables. For reasons of performance, FElupe passes the field gradients and values all at once, e.g. the deformation gradient is of shape (3, 3, q, c), where q refers to the number of quadrature points per cell and c to the number of cells. These last two axes are the so-called trailing axes. Math-functions from felupe.math all support the operation on trailing axes. The constitutive material definition class should be inherited from ConstitutiveMaterial in order to provide force-stretch curves for elementary deformations.

Examples

Take this code-block as a template for a two-field \((\boldsymbol{u}, p)\) formulation with the old displacement gradient as a state variable:

import numpy as np
import felupe as fem

# math-functions which support trailing axes
from felupe.math import det, dya, identity, transpose, inv

class MyMaterialFormulation(fem.ConstitutiveMaterial):

    def __init__(self):
        # provide the shape of state variables without trailing axes
        # values are ignored - state variables are always initiated with zeros
        self.x = [np.zeros((3, 3))]

    def gradient(self, x):
        "Gradients of the strain energy density function."

        # extract variables
        F, p, statevars = x[0], x[1], x[-1]

        # user code
        dWdF = None  # first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor
        dWdp = None

        # update state variables
        # example: the displacement gradient
        statevars_new = F - identity(F)

        return [dWdF, dWdp, statevars_new]

    def hessian(self, x, **kwargs):
        "Hessians of the strain energy density function."

        # extract variables
        F, p, statevars = x[0], x[1], x[-1]

        # user code
        d2WdFdF = None  # fourth-order elasticity tensor
        d2WdFdp = None
        d2Wdpdp = None

        # upper-triangle items of the hessian
        return [d2WdFdF, d2WdFdp, d2Wdpdp]

class felupe.Material(stress, elasticity, nstatevars=0, **kwargs)[source]#

A user-defined material definition with given functions for the (first Piola-Kirchhoff) stress tensor \(\boldsymbol{P}\), optional constraints on additional fields (e.g. \(p\) and \(J\)), updated state variables \(\boldsymbol{\zeta}\) as well as the according fourth-order elasticity tensor \(\mathbb{A}\) and the linearizations of the constraint equations. Both functions take a list of the 3x3 deformation gradient \(\boldsymbol{F}\) and optional vector of state variables \(\boldsymbol{\zeta}_n\) as the first input argument. The stress-function must return the updated state variables \(\boldsymbol{\zeta}\).

Parameters:
  • stress (callable) – A constitutive material definition which returns a list containting the (first Piola-Kirchhoff) stress tensor, optional additional constraints as well as the state variables. The state variables must always be included even if they are None. See template code-blocks for the required function signature.

  • elasticity (callable) – A constitutive material definition which returns a list containing the fourth- order elasticity tensor as the jacobian of the (first Piola-Kirchhoff) stress tensor w.r.t. the deformation gradient, optional linearizations of the additional constraints. The state variables must not be returned. See template code-blocks for the required function signature.

  • nstatevars (int, optional) – Number of internal state variable components (default is 0). State variable components must always be concatenated into a 1d-array.

Notes

Note

The first item in the list of the input arguments always contains the gradient of the (displacement) field \(\boldsymbol{u}\) w.r.t. the undeformed coordinates \(\boldsymbol{X}\). The identity matrix \(\boldsymbol{1}\) is added to this gradient, i.e. the first item of the list x contains the deformation gradient \(\boldsymbol{F} = \boldsymbol{1} + \frac{\partial \boldsymbol{u}}{\partial \boldsymbol{X}}\). All other fields are provided as interpolated values (no gradients evaluated).

For \((\boldsymbol{u})\) single-field formulations, the callables for stress and elasticity must return the gradient and hessian of the strain energy density function \(\psi(\boldsymbol{F})\) w.r.t. the deformation gradient tensor \(\boldsymbol{F}\).

\[\begin{split}\text{stress}(\boldsymbol{F}, \boldsymbol{\zeta}_n) = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial \boldsymbol{F}} \\ \boldsymbol{\zeta} \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

The callable for elasticity (hessian) must not return the updated state variables.

\[\text{elasticity}(\boldsymbol{F}, \boldsymbol{\zeta}_n) = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial \boldsymbol{F}\ \partial \boldsymbol{F}} \end{bmatrix}\]

Take this code-block as template:

def stress(x, **kwargs):
    "First Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor."

    # extract variables
    F, statevars = x[0], x[-1]

    # user code for (first Piola-Kirchhoff) stress tensor
    P = None

    # update state variables
    statevars_new = None

    return [P, statevars_new]

def elasticity(x, **kwargs):
    "Fourth-order elasticity tensor."

    # extract variables
    F, statevars = x[0], x[-1]

    # user code for fourth-order elasticity tensor
    # according to the (first Piola-Kirchhoff) stress tensor
    dPdF = None

    return [dPdF]

umat = Material(stress, elasticity, **kwargs)

For \((\boldsymbol{u}, p, J)\) mixed-field formulations, the callables for stress and elasticity must return the gradients and hessians of the (augmented) strain energy density function w.r.t. the deformation gradient and the other fields.

\[\begin{split}\text{stress}(\boldsymbol{F}, p, J, \boldsymbol{\zeta}_n) = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial \boldsymbol{F}} \\ \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial p} \\ \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial J} \\ \boldsymbol{\zeta} \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

For the hessians, the upper-triangle blocks have to be provided.

\[\begin{split}\text{elasticity}(\boldsymbol{F}, p, J, \boldsymbol{\zeta}_n) = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial \boldsymbol{F}\ \partial \boldsymbol{F}} \\ \frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial \boldsymbol{F}\ \partial p} \\ \frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial \boldsymbol{F}\ \partial J} \\ \frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial p\ \partial p} \\ \frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial p\ \partial J} \\ \frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial J\ \partial J} \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

For \((\boldsymbol{u}, p, J)\) mixed-field formulations, take this code-block as template:

def gradient(x, **kwargs):
    "Gradients of the strain energy density function."

    # extract variables
    F, p, J, statevars = x[0], x[1], x[2], x[-1]

    # user code
    dWdF = None  # first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor
    dWdp = None
    dWdJ = None

    # update state variables
    statevars_new = None

    return [dWdF, dWdp, dWdJ, statevars_new]

def hessian(x, **kwargs):
    "Hessians of the strain energy density function."

    # extract variables
    F, p, J, statevars = x[0], x[1], x[2], x[-1]

    # user code
    d2WdFdF = None  # fourth-order elasticity tensor
    d2WdFdp = None
    d2WdFdJ = None
    d2Wdpdp = None
    d2WdpdJ = None
    d2WdJdJ = None

    # upper-triangle items of the hessian
    return [d2WdFdF, d2WdFdp, d2WdFdJ, d2Wdpdp, d2WdpdJ, d2WdJdJ]

umat = Material(gradient, hessian, **kwargs)

Examples

The compressible isotropic hyperelastic Neo-Hookean material formulation is given by the strain energy density function

\[\psi(\boldsymbol{C}) = \frac{\mu}{2} \text{tr}(\boldsymbol{C}) - \mu \ln(J) + \frac{\lambda}{2} \ln(J)^2\]

with the determinant of the deformation gradient and the right Cauchy Green deformation tensor.

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}J &= \text{det}(\boldsymbol{F})\\C &= \boldsymbol{F}^T\ \boldsymbol{F}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

The first Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor is evaluated as the gradient of the strain energy density function.

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}\boldsymbol{P} &= \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial \boldsymbol{F}}\\\boldsymbol{P} &= \mu \left( \boldsymbol{F} - \boldsymbol{F}^{-T} \right) + \lambda \ln(J) \boldsymbol{F}^{-T}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

The hessian of the strain energy density function enables the corresponding elasticity tensor.

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}\mathbb{A} &= \frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial \boldsymbol{F}\ \partial \boldsymbol{F}}\\\mathbb{A} &= \mu \boldsymbol{I} \overset{ik}{\otimes} \boldsymbol{I} + \left(\mu - \lambda \ln(J) \right) \boldsymbol{F}^{-T} \overset{il}{\otimes} \boldsymbol{F}^{-T} + \lambda \boldsymbol{F}^{-T} {\otimes} \boldsymbol{F}^{-T}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]
