The experimental and simulation results are compared at both the film and subgrain scales. While the experiment and model agree fairly well at the film level, the experimental results show...

The simulation of the deformation process during the whole test is performed with a finite element large strain elastoplasticity-based formulation. The results of the simulation show that the mechanical characterization involving the classical...

This paper extends the isotropic hyperelastic VIB model to ductile materials by incorporating rate effects and hardening behavior of the material into a finite deformation framework. The hyperelastic VIB model is formulated in the intermediate configuration of the multiplicative...

In this investigation, the proper analytical form and the associated parameter identification of the anisotropic material functions defining the flow rule of macroscopic plastic spin are discussed for sheet metals with persistent but rotated...

When inserted into the exact equation for moment equilibrium, this constitutive relation yields a second-order, nonlinear ordinary differential equation...

To this end, a loading and at least two unloadings in the plastic regime have to be considered. Using finite element simulations, the relation between the material parameters...
