Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Localizing Implicit Gradient Damage Based Treatment of Softening in Elasto-Plasticity(Elsevier B.V., 2021) Özdemir, İzzet; Kaçmaz,B.; Özdemir,I.; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringAs opposed to brittle fracture, the failure of ductile materials is preceded by severe plastic deformations. Microscopic mechanisms i.e., void growth and coalescence result in macroscopic property degradation causing softening, localization, and finally macroscopic crack. This contribution focuses on softening in elasto-plasticity and its mesh-objective description using an implicit gradient type of non-local damage mechanics framework. As reported in several studies Geers et al. (1998), Poh and Sun (2017), artificial widening of localization zone is observed when conventional implicit gradient type regularization is used. To circumvent this non-physical artifact, localizing implicit gradient damage (LIGD) formulation that is motivated by higher order continuum arguments, is adopted, Poh and Sun (2017). As opposed to previous remedies to artificial widening of the localization zone, LIGD proposes an internal length scale that decreases with deformation. A two-field (displacement-non-local equivalent plastic strain) hexahedra and a three-field (displacement-pressure-non-local equivalent plastic strain) tetrahedra element are formulated and implemented in commercial finite element software Abaqus through user element (UEL) subroutine. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated by solving two numerical examples. © 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) nano-size ?-Cristobalite particle/epoxy composites were prepared and tensile tested. The elastic modulus and strength of the composites were improved as the particle volume fraction increased from 0 to 0.02. Unlike the conventional particle reinforced composites, the fracture strain increased with the nano ?-Cristobalite addition, an effect which was ascribed to the intrinsic NPR behavior of the filler. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 37Void Growth Based Inter-Granular Ductile Fracture in Strain Gradient Polycrystalline Plasticity(Elsevier, 2021) Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Özdemir, İzzet; Tandoğan, İzzet Tarık; Özdemir, İzzet; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe precipitation hardened, high strength aerospace alloys (e.g. Al 7000 alloy series) suffer from loss of fracture toughness due to the heat treatment leading to intergranular ductile fracture. Depending on the quenching and aging processes, large precipitates at the grain boundaries with wide precipitate free zones might develop. Therefore the grain boundaries constitute a potential location for micro void formation and evolution under the effect of external loads. This is a common problem of such materials where there is considerable ductile intergranular fracture, which is normally attributed to the embrittlement effects of the environment in other type of alloys. In this context, for the modeling of such a degradation process, the current paper develops a physics based intergranular cracking model of polycrystalline materials where a strain gradient crystal plasticity model is combined with cohesive zone elements whose traction separation relation is based on the evolution of micro-voids at the grain boundaries. The framework successfully predicts the intergranular crack formation and propagation, taking into account different microstructural features, such as porosity, pore shape, grain orientation distribution, and grain boundary conditions.
