ProductsAbaqus/Standard Elements testedC3D8 C3D8T Features testedUser subroutine to define isotropic hardening for Mises plasticity, the combined hardening material model, and porous metal plasticity. Problem descriptionThis set of verification problems tests many of the variables that are passed into UHARD, such as material properties, step times, and field variable increment data. These tests also verify that the user-defined quantities of yield stress and its derivatives are transferred properly to the solution process. These tests are modifications of the tests described in Rate-independent plasticity and Rate-dependent plasticity in Abaqus/Standard. For the problems selected from these sections, wherever an elastic-plastic material was defined, a user-defined hardening has been implemented in place of the corresponding keyword hardening definition. The structure being analyzed is a cube made of a single C3D8 element (or a C3D8T element when a coupled temperature-displacement procedure is tested). Material:
Results and discussionThe tests in this section are set up as cases of homogeneous deformation of a single element of unit dimensions. Consequently, the results are identical for all integration points within the element. In each case the results match those of the referenced problem with the keyword hardening description. Problems that test adiabatic and coupled temperature-displacement procedures have density, specific heat, and the inelastic heat fraction defined as unity and conductivity defined as zero. The resulting adiabatic temperature rise is confirmed to agree with the approximate solution determined from problems run with equivalent keyword definitions of hardening. Input files
