Plastic Potentials for Isotropic Porous Materials: Influence of the Particularities of Plastic Deformation on Damage Evolution

Abstract

In Chap. 7, key contributions toward elucidating the role of the plastic deformation on damage evolution in isotropic metallic materials are introduced. The ductile damage models presented are derived using rigorous upscaling techniques and limit-analysis methods. Previously unrecognized combined effects of the mean stress and third-invariant of the stress deviator on yielding of porous materials with matrix described by von Mises and Tresca yield criteria are presented. It is shown that the fastest rate of void growth or collapse occurs in a porous Tresca material. Most importantly, it is revealed that depending on the yield criterion for the matrix, the third-invariant effects (or Lode effects) on void evolution can be either enhanced or completely eliminated.
