 Modeling Approaches

 Periodical Models (GIBSON & ASHBY)

  • Dependence of the geometrical idealization;
  • Considers the local cell characteristics;
  • Limited applications;
  • Isotropy and cellular interaction, in the majority of the

cases, are not periodic phenomenon.

 Random models (ROBERTS,GARBOCZIA e BRYDON)

  • Voronoi tessellation and Gaussian random field;
  • Problems to define the RVE and the coordinate number;
  • Problems at the micro tomography correlation;
  • Border effects;
  • Self-contact densification process involves a huge

computational cost;

  • Explicit solver.

The discretization of the differential equations system uses the weak Galerkin form;

Do not required a finite element mesh;

The discretization is based on a set of nodes (discrete data);

The connection in terms of nodes interactions may be change constantly, and modeling fracture (ability to simulate crack growth), free surfaces, large deformations, etc. is considerably simplified;

Accuracy can be controlled more easily, since in areas where more refinement is needed, nodes can be added easily;

Meshfree discretization can provide accurate representation of geometric object;

A special strategy to impose the essential boundary conditions.

Conclusions

 The constitutive model  The features  a single-surface yield criteria;  a non-associated plastic flow law;  the relative density dependence ;  Show a good prediction for the responses of rigid polymeric foams under simple and complex monotonic loading conditions.  The yield surface parameters are simple and can be obtained from two independent experiments

 Uniaxial compression (ISO 844 / ASTM D1621-04a);  Hydrostatic compression;

 The relative density dependence has as a consequence a correction in the tangent modulus.

 EFG x FEM  EFG method showed to be:

 Able to withstand the analysis of very large deformation processes, without remeshing and breaking up;  More robust to capture high deformation levels and deformation gradients;  More expensive with respect the computational aspect (more integration points);  In another hand, load step size bigger than the FEM. (small number of interactions!)

 The choice of the penalties values (in both cases EBC and Contact) implies in changes at the convergence rate;

 Difficulties to find the “right” value for each problem.

 Numerical Aspects  The Returning Map Algorithm do not capture critical points (limit or path bifurcation).  For this reason, strategies was performed to improve the condition number of the local tangent modulus at the plateaus. (matrix is singular if the condition number is infinite)  Compression causes stress bottom up due to foam consolidation.  Problems to insure convergence (Turning causes low convergence rates);  Further, the hardening laws are interpolated by a polynomial fitting. After 60% of the logarithm strain, this fitting don’t represent the experimental data.  For this reason, the divergence between the numerical and experimental data is plausibly.  At overall, the numerical procedure showed to be adequate to describes the rough non-linearities (material and contact with friction).
