其他摘要:We present a continuum damage model based on a local isotropic damage variable (1]. Damage is coupled to the plastic deformation. The problem is placed into tbe large elasto-plastic deformation context. Emphasis is given to the kinematic and constitutive model, and to the finite element we have choosen for the spatial discretization (QIE4 |2|). With this model we analyze the instability problem associated to a stretched band in plane deformation. We also present a problem of non-homogeneous deformations where the localization effects are observed.
