Modelling and numerical issues in conjunction with large strain analysis of thermohyperelastic-viscoplastic models are discussed with emphasis placed on porous materials (metal powders). In order to account for the proper temperature effect on the rate-dependent response of metal powders, the concept of "viscoplastic admissibility" is employed as part of a model framework that includes a dynamic yield surface. A generic class of pressure-sensitive models is considered;a particular model based on quasistatic and dynamic yield surfaces, that are elliptic in the meridian planes in the principal stress space, is used for the subsequent numerical evaluation. The generic model also includes kinematic hardening, thus introducing non-coaxiality between the deformation, the back-stress and the stress tensors tin any given reference configuration). Implicit (backward Euler) integration is used and the corresponding algorithmic tangent stiffness (ATS) tenser is established in a setting that is valid for complete noncoaxiality. For the prototype problem of simple shear (using constant strain approximation), quadratic convergence in the equilibrium iterations is demonstrated. The paper is concluded by an investigation of a Hot-Isostatic-Pressing (HIP) problem, whereby experimental results from the literature are used for calibration of the model parameters.

The compositional representation of a Markov chain using Kronecker algebra, according to a compositional model representation as a superposed generalized stochastic Petri net or a stochastic automata network, has been studied for a while. In this paper we describe a Kronecker expression and associated data structures, that allows to handle nets with synchronization over activities of different levels of priority. New algorithms for these structures are provided to perform an iterative solution method of Jacobi or Gauss-Seidel type. These algorithms are implemented in the APNN Toolbox. We use this implementation in combination with GreatSPN and exercise an example that illustrates characteristics of the presented algorithms. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

An accelerated method is presented for the iterative condensation of eigenproblems, The present study was motivated by the improved reduction system and the succession-level approximate reduction (SAR), The reduction procedures are supplemented with the secund-order approximation in the series expansion of the system transformation. The reduced equation of an equivalent system and the transformation matrix are updated in an iterative manner. In addition, systematic derivation and comparison of the equations involved in various condensations have been sought. The matrix update incorporates not only inverse iteration but also subspace transformation implicitly. The series expansion can be considered as repeated updates of the transformation matrix through inverse iteration. The solution accuracy is sensitive to the selection of the degrees of freedom, for which sequential elimination or energy method may be preferable. When a poor selection causes a sudden failure of the update method, the hybrid dynamic condensation fan be used. The method of SAR is closely related to the hybrid dynamic condensation.

A Mach 3 adiabatic flat plate turbulent boundary layer is studied using large-eddy simulation (LES), The filtered compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved on a three-dimensional unstructured grid of tetrahedral cells. A compressible extension of the rescaling-reintroducing process of Lund et al. (Lund, T., Wu, X., and Squires, K., "Generation of Turbulent Inflow Data for Spatially-Developing Boundary Layer Simulations," Journal of Compartational Physics, Vol. 140, No. 2, 1998, pp. 233-2583 is developed to generate the inflow conditions. The effect of the subgrid-scale motion is incorporated using two approaches, namely, monotone integrated LES (MILES) and the Smagorinsky subgrid-scale model. A detailed grid refinement study is performed. The statistical predictions (friction velocity, adiabatic wall temperature, mean velocity profile, normal Reynolds stress, and Reynolds shear stress) obtained from MILES are in close agreement viith experimental data and direct numerical simulation. The results indicate that the subgrid-scale effects can be adequately modeled using MILES without the need for the Smagorinsky model.

A continuous adjoint approach is developed to obtain the sensitivity derivatives for the Euler equations, The complete derivation of the costate equations and their transversality (boundary) conditions are presented. Both the state and the costate equations are second-order finite volume discretized fur unstructured meshes, and they are coupled with a constrained optimization algorithm. Also integrated into the overall methodology are a geometry parameterization method for the shape optimization, and a dynamic unstructured mesh method fur the shape evolution and the consequent volume mesh adaptations. For the proof of concept, three transonic airfoil optimization problems are presented. This method accepts general cost functionals, which are not necessarily functions of pressure only. It is also shown that a switch to the natural coordinate system in conjunction with the reduction of the governing state equation to the control surface results in sensitivity integrals that are only a function of the tangential derivatives of the state variables. This approach eliminates the need fur normal derivative computations that can be erroneous.

We study the behavior of crystals that undergo martensitic transformations. On cooling, the high-temperature phase (austenite) transforms to the martensite phase changing its crystalline symmetry. The lower crystalline symmetry of the martensite gives rise to several variants of martensite. Each variant has an associated transformation strain. These variants accommodate themselves (according to the boundary conditions) forming a microstructure that minimizes the elastic energy. This minimum value of the energy is called the the effective energy. We assume that all the material is in the martensite phase (i.e. the material is at low temperatures). We show that, assuming the geometrically linear approximation, the maximum of the effective energy restricted to applied strains in the convex hull of the transformation strains is attained by an applied strain that is a convex combination of only two transformation strains. We derive a recurrence relation to compute the energy corresponding to laminated microstructures of arbitrary rank, under the assumption that the variants of martensite are linearly elastic and their elastic moduli are isotropic. We use this recurrence relation to develop an algorithm that minimizes the energy over microstructures that belong to the class of rank-v laminates. We apply our methods to the case in which the transformation is cubic to monoclinic (corresponding to TiNi). We conclude with some comments on the possible implications of our calculations on the behavior of this shape-memory alloy. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

This note presents a numerically reliable approach for computing the normalized-coprime factorization of an arbitrary (possibly improper) rational matrix. We consider both the cases in which the factorization is coprime and normalized with respect to either the left-half plane or the unit disk, corresponding to systems with continuous- or discrete-time evolutions. The proposed algorithm remedies the numerical drawbacks of alternative methods available thus far in the literature.

A numerical algorithm for nonlinear elastic relaxation of a multilayer woven fabric is introduced and tested. The equilibrium solutions are compared with real samples. An excellent result is obtained in spite of two simplifications: Bending stiffness of the fibers and friction between the fibers are both neglected. The numerical simulation is very fast and cost efficient in the search for optimal fabrics. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.

dA model is presented for plastic deformation with grain subdivision into parallel bands. The experimental reference is the subdivision into "cell blocks" observed in rolled aluminium. The model maintains intragranular strain continuity between the bands with relaxed constraints. One version of the model maintains intergranular strain continuity by imposing identical strains in all grains. Another version does not provide formal fulfilment of intergranular strain continuity, but it tries to minimize strain discontinuity by selection of the appropriate physical solutions. Part I deals with the initial stage of grain subdivision at low strain. Part II (Leffers, T. 2001. A model for rolling deformation with grain subdivision. Part II: the subsequent stage. Int. J. Plasticity 17, 491-511.) deals with the subsequent stages at higher strains and the resulting rolling texture. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
