The paper discusses numerical formulations of the homogenization for solids with discrete crack development. We focus onmulti–phase microstructures of heterogeneous materials, where fracture occurs in the form of debonding mechanisms as wellas matrix cracking. The definition of overall properties critically depends on the developing discontinuities. To this end, weextend continuous formulations [1] to microstructures with discontinuities [2]. The basic underlying structure is a canonicalvariational formulation in the fully nonlinear range based on incremental energy minimization. We develop algorithms fornumerical homogenization of fracturing solids in a deformation–driven context with non–trivial formulations of boundaryconditions for (i) linear deformation and (ii) uniform tractions. The overall response of composite materials with fracturingmicrostructures are investigated. As a key result, we show the significance of the proposed non–trivial formulation of atraction–type boundary condition in the deformation–driven context.

Deformation patterning driven by rate dependent non-convex strain gradient plasticity
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M.G.D. (2011-01-01)
A rate dependent strain gradient plasticity framework for the description of plastic slip patterning in a system with non-convex energetic hardening is presented. Both the displacement and the plastic slip fields are considered as primary variables. These fields are determined on a global level by solving simultaneously the linear momentum balance and the slip evolution equation which is postulated in a thermodynamically consistent manner. The slip law differs from classical ones in the sense that it includ...
Deformation Analysis of Deep-Drawing by a Finite Element Method
Darendeliler, Haluk (1991-01-01)
A finite element method is developed to study the elastic-plastic deformation of sheet materials in the presence of large strains and large displacements. It is based on updated Lagrangian type formulation and membrane shell theory. The sheet is assumed to be isotropic and rate insensitive which obeys J2 flow theory. The work-hardening characterstics of material and Coulomb friction between the sheet metal and forming tools are incorporated. The method is used for modelling partial deep-drawing with the app...
Morphology and Grain Orientation Dependent Localization and Necking in Dual-phase Steels
Çakmak, Serhat Onur; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2019-01-01)
This paper studies the plastic deformation, localization and the necking behavior of polycrystalline dual phase (DP) steels, with different martensite volume fractions, and ferrite orientation distributions, through crystal plasticity finite element method. The grain structure of the full size micron-scale polycrystalline samples is built through Voronoi tesselation and the specimens are deformed under uniaxial loading condition. For the modelling of martensite phase J2 plasticity with isotropic hardening i...
Fatigue crack growth analysis models for funcionally graded materials
Sabuncuoğlu, Barış; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006)
The objective of this study is to develop crack growth analysis methods for functionally graded materials under mode I cyclic loading by using finite element technique. The study starts with the analysis of test specimens which are given in ASTM standard E399. The material properties of specimens are assumed to be changing along the thickness direction according to a presumed variation function used for the modeling of functionally graded materials. The results of the study reveal the influence of different...
Density functional theory investigation of TiO2 anatase nanosheets
Sayın, Ceren Sibel; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2009)
In this thesis, the electronic properties of nanosheets derived from TiO2 anatase structure which acts as a photocatalyst, are investigated using the density functional theory. We examine bulk constrained properties of the nanosheets derived from the (001) surface and obtain their optimized geometries. We investigate properties of lepidocrocite-type TiO2 nanosheets and nanotubes of different sizes formed by rolling the lepidocrocite nanosheets. We show that the stability and the band gaps of the considered ...
