Abstract

This work compares two different computational approaches to geometrically exact elastoplastic rods. The first approach applies an elastoplastic constitutive model in terms of stress resultants, i.e. forces and moments. It requires knowledge of the rod’s elasticity and yield-criterion in terms of stress resultants. Furthermore a resultant-type hardening expression must be formulated. These are obtained by integrating elastoplastic stress and hardening measures from three-dimensional continuum mechanics over the rod’s deformed cross-section, which is performed in an offline stage. The second approach applies an FE2 approach as established in computational homogenization. Therein, the macro-scale describing the geometrically exact rod is coupled to the micro-scale, i.e., the cross-section of the rod. A novelty of the presented work is the determination of a hardening tensor for use in the stress resultant approach. The mechanical response of both approaches is first compared on the material point level, a single cross-section of a uniformly strained rod. Later, also the mechanical response and the deformation of finitely and non-uniformly strained rods are investigated.
