The hyperbolic and exponent forms of the yield criteria are verified by using parameters that reduce them into equivalent linear forms. Reducing the hyperbolic yield function into a linear form requires that ${p_{t} |}_{0} = d / \tan β$ . Reducing the exponent yield function into a linear form requires that b = 1.0 and that a = ( $\tan β$ )⁻¹.

Results and discussion

Most tests in this section are set up as cases of the homogeneous deformation of a single element of unit dimensions. Consequently, the results are identical for all integration points within the element. To test certain conditions, however, it is necessary to set up inhomogeneous deformation problems. In each case the constitutive path is integrated with 20 increments of fixed size.

Input files

mcaooo3mcy.inp

Hydrostatic cyclic test, displacement control.

The following six steps are executed:

Load, yielding in hydrostatic compression
Unload, still in compression
Reload, yielding in compression
Unload in compression and load, yielding in tension
Unload in tension and load, yielding in compression
Unload

mcaooo3euc.inp

Uniaxial compressive stress test; displacement control.

Step 2 reverses the displacement causing yielding in tension.

mcaooo3gsh.inp

Shear test; load control (S22 = −S11); overlaid soft linear element.

There will be some hydrostatic stress due to transverse restraint.

mcaooo3ucs.inp

Cyclical shear test; displacement control; S12 dominant.

mcaoot3ctc.inp

Hydrostatic compression to $p = p_{a}$ , then pure shear; displacement control; temperature dependence.

Yielding should be volume preserving.

mcakoo3gsh.inp

Shear test; load control; two primary elements and two overlaid soft elements.

One set loaded with principal stresses $\propto$ (1, 1, −2), the other with $\propto$ (−1, −1, 2).

The ratio of yield stresses should be K = 0.8.

mcaoob3bus.inp

Uniaxial compressive strain (odometer) test; CPE4 element; load control; with temperature and field variable dependence of the CAP PLASTICITY and CAP HARDENING data.

The temperatures and field variables are specified to give CAP PLASTICITY and CAP HARDENING data exactly the same as cap plasticity I and cap hardening I data.

mcaooo3bus.inp

Uniaxial compressive strain (odometer) test; load control; NLGEOM and porous elasticity I.

The tangent bulk and shear moduli of porous elasticity I differ from that of the linear elasticity by about 1% over the strain range of the test.

mcaooo3ctc.inp

Triaxial test. Hydrostatic loading to $p = p_{a}$ , then increase S11 only.

mcaooo3vlp.inp

Uniaxial compressive strain (odometer) test; load control; the nonlinear analysis is split into two steps, each of which is preceded by a linear perturbation step.

The results of the nonlinear steps should correspond to those of mca0003bus.inp.

The results of the two linear perturbation steps (STATIC) should be identical because small displacements are assumed and the elasticity is linear.

mcakoo3ltr.inp

A displacement pattern designed to produce different stress states at the 8 Gauss points but dominated by shear.

The aim is to test the robustness of the Newton loops, so very large strain increments are taken.

Displacement control. K = 0.8.

mcaooo3ltr.inp

Another test of the robustness of the algorithm.

CAX4 element, porous elasticity II, cap plasticity II, and cap hardening II is used.

mcaooo3xmx.inp

Tests adjustment of the initial position of the cap.

Two C3D8R elements with different initial stress states.

The initial stress in element 1 will cause an adjustment that will make the stress point lie on the cap yield surface.

The initial stress in element 2 will cause an adjustment that will make the stress point lie on the transition yield surface.
