Engineering:Unified strength theory

From HandWiki

The unified strength theory (UST).[1][2][3][4] proposed by Yu Mao-Hong is a series of yield criteria (see yield surface) and failure criteria (see Material failure theory). It is a generalized classical strength theory which can be used to describe the yielding or failure of material begins when the combination of principal stresses reaches a critical value.[5][6][7]

Mathematical Formulation

Mathematically, the formulation of UST is expressed in principal stress state as

[math]\displaystyle{ F = {\sigma _1} - \frac{\alpha }{{1 + b}}(b{\sigma _2} + {\sigma _3}) = {\sigma _t},\, {\text{ when }}{\sigma _2} \leqslant \frac{{{\sigma _1} + \alpha {\sigma _3}}}{{1 + \alpha }} }[/math]

(1a)

[math]\displaystyle{ F' = \frac{1}{{1 + b}}({\sigma _1} + b{\sigma _3}) - \alpha {\sigma _3} = {\sigma _t},\, {\text{ when }} {\sigma _2} \geqslant \frac{{{\sigma _1} + \alpha {\sigma _3}}}{{1 + \alpha }} }[/math]

(1b)

where [math]\displaystyle{ {\sigma _1},{\sigma _2},{\sigma _3} }[/math] are three principal stresses, [math]\displaystyle{ {\sigma _{t}} }[/math]is the uniaxial tensile strength and [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha }[/math] is tension-compression strength ratio ([math]\displaystyle{ \alpha = {\sigma _t}/{\sigma _c} }[/math]). The unified yield criterion (UYC) is the simplification of UST when [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha = 1 }[/math], i.e.

[math]\displaystyle{ f = {\sigma _1} - \frac{1}{{1 + b}}(b{\sigma _2} + {\sigma _3}) = {\sigma _s},{\text{ when }} {\sigma _2} \leqslant \frac{1}{2}({\sigma _1} + {\sigma _3}) }[/math]

(2a)

[math]\displaystyle{ f' = \frac{1}{{1 + b}}({\sigma _1} + b{\sigma _2}) - {\sigma _3} = {\sigma _s},{\text{ when }} {\sigma _2} \geqslant \frac{1}{2}({\sigma _1} + {\sigma _3}) }[/math]

(2b)

Limit surfaces of Unified Strength Theory

The limit surfaces of the unified strength theory in principal stress space are usually a semi-infinite dodecahedron cone with unequal sides. The shape and size of the limiting dodecahedron cone depends on the parameter b and [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha }[/math]. The limit surfaces of UST and UYC are shown as follows.

The limit surfaces of UST with [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha }[/math]=0.6

Derivation of Unified Strength Theory

Due to the relation ([math]\displaystyle{ {\tau _{13}} = {\tau _{12}} + {\tau _{23}} }[/math]), the principal stress state ([math]\displaystyle{ {\sigma _1},{\sigma _2},{\sigma _3} }[/math]) may be converted to the twin-shear stress state ([math]\displaystyle{ {\tau _{13}},{\tau _{12}};{\sigma _{13}},{\sigma _{12}} }[/math]) or ([math]\displaystyle{ {\tau _{13}},{\tau _{23}};{\sigma _{13}},{\sigma _{23}} }[/math]). Twin-shear element models proposed by Mao-Hong Yu are used for representing the twin-shear stress state.[1] Considering all the stress components of the twin-shear models and their different effects yields the unified strength theory as

[math]\displaystyle{ F = {\tau _{13}} + b{\tau _{12}} + \beta ({\sigma _{13}} + b{\sigma _{12}}) = C, {\text{ when }} {\tau _{12}} + \beta {\sigma _{12}} \geqslant {\tau _{23}} + \beta {\sigma _{23}} }[/math]

(3a)

[math]\displaystyle{ F' = {\tau _{13}} + b{\tau _{23}} + \beta ({\sigma _{13}} + b{\sigma _{23}}) = C, {\text{ when }}{\tau _{12}} + \beta {\sigma _{12}} \leqslant {\tau _{23}} + \beta {\sigma _{23}} }[/math]

(3b)

The relations among the stresses components and principal stresses read

[math]\displaystyle{ {\tau _{13}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{\sigma _1} - {\sigma _3}} \right) }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ {\sigma _{13}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{\sigma _1} + {\sigma _3}} \right) }[/math]

(4a)

[math]\displaystyle{ {\tau _{12}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{\sigma _1} - {\sigma _2}} \right) }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ {\sigma _{12}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{\sigma _1} + {\sigma _2}} \right) }[/math]

(4b)

[math]\displaystyle{ {\tau _{23}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{\sigma _2} - {\sigma _3}} \right) }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ {\sigma _{23}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{\sigma _2} + {\sigma _3}} \right) }[/math]

(4c)

The [math]\displaystyle{ \beta }[/math] and C should be obtained by uniaxial failure state

[math]\displaystyle{ {\sigma _1} = {\sigma _t},{\sigma _2} = {\sigma _3} = 0 }[/math]

(5a)

[math]\displaystyle{ {\sigma _1} = {\sigma _2} = 0,{\sigma _3} = - {\sigma _{\text{c}}} }[/math]

(5b)

By substituting Eqs.(4a), (4b) and (5a) into the Eq.(3a), and substituting Eqs.(4a), (4c) and (5b) into Eq.(3b), the [math]\displaystyle{ \beta }[/math] and C are introduced as

[math]\displaystyle{ \beta = \frac{{{\sigma _{\text{c}}} - {\sigma _{\text{t}}}}}{{{\sigma _{\text{c}}} + {\sigma _{\text{t}}}}} = \frac{{1 - \alpha }}{{1 + \alpha }} }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ C = \frac{{1 + b{\sigma _{\text{c}}}{\sigma _{\text{t}}}}}{{{\sigma _{\text{c}}} + {\sigma _{\text{t}}}}} = \frac{{1 + b}}{{1 + \alpha }}{\sigma _t} }[/math]

History of Unified Strength Theory

The development of the unified strength theory can be divided into three stages as follows.
1. Twin-shear yield criterion (UST with [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha = 1 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ b = 1 }[/math])[8][9]

[math]\displaystyle{ f = {\sigma _1} - \frac{1}{2}({\sigma _2} + {\sigma _3}) = {\sigma _t},{\text{ when }} {\sigma _2} \leqslant \frac{{{\sigma _1} + {\sigma _3}}}{2} }[/math]

(7a)

[math]\displaystyle{ f = \frac{1}{2}({\sigma _1} + {\sigma _2}) - {\sigma _3} = {\sigma _t},{\text{ when }} {\sigma _2} \geqslant \frac{{{\sigma _1} + {\sigma _3}}}{2} }[/math]

(7b)

2. Twin-shear strength theory (UST with [math]\displaystyle{ b = 1 }[/math])[10].

[math]\displaystyle{ F = {\sigma _1} - \frac{\alpha }{2}({\sigma _2} + {\sigma _3}) = {\sigma _t}, {\text{ when }}{\sigma _2} \leqslant \frac{{{\sigma _1} + \alpha {\sigma _3}}}{{1 + \alpha }} }[/math]

(8a)

[math]\displaystyle{ F = \frac{1}{2}({\sigma _1} + {\sigma _2}){\text{ - }}\alpha {\sigma _3} = {\sigma _t},{\text{ when }} {\sigma _2} \geqslant \frac{{{\sigma _1} + \alpha {\sigma _3}}}{{1 + \alpha }} }[/math]

Unified strength theory has been used in Generalized Plasticity,[11] Structural Plasticity,[12] Computational Plasticity[13] and many other fields[14][15]
