Quasistatic hypoplasticity at large strains Eulerian
Abstract
The isothermal quasistatic (i.e.\ acceleration neglected) hardening-free plasticity at large strains is considered, based on the standard multiplicative decomposition of the total strain and the isochoric plastic distortion. The Eulerian velocity-strain formulation is used. The mass density evolves too, but acts only via the force term with a given external acceleration. This rather standard model is then re-formulated in terms of rates (so-called hypoplasticity) and the plastic distortion is completely eliminated, although it can be a-posteriori re-constructed. Involving gradient theories for dissipation, existence and regularity of weak solutions is proved rather constructively by a suitable regularization combined with a Galerkin approximation. The local non-interpenetration through a blowup of stored energy when elastic-strain determinant approaches zero is enforced and exploited. The plasticity is considered rate dependent and, as a special case, also creep in Jeffreys' viscoelastic rheology in the shear is covered while the volumetric response obeys the Kelvin-Voigt rheology.
