Goal(s)

  • To understand the properties of crystalline defects (in particular dislocations) responsible for plastic deformation of structural materials
  • To know the relationship between the microstructure of a material and its mechanical properties (yield limit, plasticity)
  • To understand the physical mechanisms that control the constitutive equations for the plasticity of structural materials at room temperature and a high temperature
  • To feel comfortable with the tools of continuum mechanics
  • To know the formalism of basic constitutive equations used to model the mechanical behavior of materials
  • To discover the potentialities of industrial codes dedicated to the simulation of forming processes

Content(s)

Course and controled work
Part 1 :

  • Crystalline defects: nature and properties
  • Yield limit : quantitative link with the microstructure
  • Thermal activation of plastic deformation
  • Room temperature plasticity: physics of constitutive equations
  • High temperature plasticity: physics of constitutive equations

Part 2:

  • Continuum mechanics: stress and strain tensors, constitutive equations
  • Elasticity : Hooke’s law, thin films
  • Plasticity : criteria, isotropic and kinematic hardening, Hill Principle, associated flow law
  • Viscoplasticity : strain-rate hardening, creep, Norton’s law, dissipation potential, Odqvist’s law

Practical work
Simulation of a forming process with an industrial finite element code (Ansys, Forge2, Forge3). Emphasis is put on constitutive equations presented during the course (plasticity, viscoplasticity)
