Abstract
The Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) solver based on mesh-less methods developed at University of Nottingham Malaysia has been proven to be successful in solving hydroelastic problems involving elastic body. In this paper, the possibility of modelling elastocplastic material behaviour using mesh-less method is further explored. Elastoplastic material bahaviour is essential for modelling ductile fracture in a wide range of engineering problems. The use of a type of nonlocal lattice spring model (LSM) based on fully explicit integration scheme in modelling elastoplastic material behaviour is presented in this work. Specifically, the return mapping algorithm is incorporated in the solid solver for modelling J2 plasticity. The effect of time step size and particle spacing on the accuracy of the solver are investigated by checking the predicted strain against theoretical solution. It is found out that the strain results obtained by varying the time step size are somewhat consistent with the theoretical solution. The predicted strain also converges to the theoretical result as the particle spacing is refined.
