Partial differential equations to determine elasto-plastic stress–strain behavior from measured kinematic fields
Partial differential equations to determine elasto-plastic stress–strain behavior from measured kinematic fields
A system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is derived to compute the full-field stress from an observed kinematic field when the flow rule governing the plastic deformation is unknown. These equations generalize previously proposed equations that assume pure plastic behavior without elasticity. A method to numerically solve these equations is also presented. In addition to force balance, the equations are derived from the elastic–plastic decomposition of the deformation gradient, the assumption of isotropy, and the assumption that the function mapping the elastic strain to stress is known. The system of equations can be directly applied to complex geometries, finite deformation, non-linear elasticity and plasticity, compressible materials, rate dependent materials, and a variety of hardening laws. This system of PDEs is non-linear and time dependent. Furthermore, it overcomes an important prior limitation: it can be directly applied to cases where some regions of a body are elastically deforming while others are elasto-plastically deforming. A two-dimensional case study of necking in a uniaxial tensile specimen is investigated to illustrate and validate the method. The governing equations are numerically solved using strain fields output from a finite element simulation and validated against this same simulation showing accurate results.

Abstract
A system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is derived to compute the full-field stress from an observed kinematic field when the flow rule governing the plastic deformation is unknown. These equations generalize previously proposed equations that assume pure plastic behavior without elasticity. A method to numerically solve these equations is also presented. In addition to force balance, the equations are derived from the elastic–plastic decomposition of the deformation gradient, the assumption of isotropy, and the assumption that the function mapping the elastic strain to stress is known. The system of equations can be directly applied to complex geometries, finite deformation, non-linear elasticity and plasticity, compressible materials, rate dependent materials, and a variety of hardening laws. This system of PDEs is non-linear and time dependent. Furthermore, it overcomes an important prior limitation: it can be directly applied to cases where some regions of a body are elastically deforming while others are elasto-plastically deforming. A two-dimensional case study of necking in a uniaxial tensile specimen is investigated to illustrate and validate the method. The governing equations are numerically solved using strain fields output from a finite element simulation and validated against this same simulation showing accurate results.
