Separated Representations of Incremental Elastoplastic Simulations

Abstract

Forming processes usually involve irreversible plastic transformations. The calculation in that case becomes cumbersome when large parts and processes are considered. Recently Model Order Reduction techniques opened new perspectives for an accurate and fast simulation of mechanical systems, however nonlinear history-dependent behaviors remain still today challenging scenarios for the application of these techniques. In this work we are proposing a quite simple non intrusive strategy able to address such behaviors by coupling a separated representation with a POD-based reduced basis within an incremental elastoplastic formulation.
