Numerical aspects in the finite element simulation of the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect. (English) Zbl 1227.74080

Summary: Serrated yielding and propagation of localized bands of plastic strain rate are the apparent phenomena of the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect. The finite element modeling of this effect is investigated, using a model proposed by S. Zhang et al. [“The morphology of Portevin-Le Chatelier bands: finite element simulation for Al-Mg-Si”, Acta Mater. 49, 1087–1094 (2001), doi:10.1016/S1359-6454(00)00380-3] describing dynamic strain aging, and material parameters for a Nickel based superalloy at 500\(^\circ \text{C}\). This work presents: (1) an efficient implicit integration scheme of the constitutive equations in the presence of instabilities; (2) a numerical tool to determine the type of plastic strain rate localization bands based on results of simulations; and (3) a mesh and time discretization sensitivity analysis of the model regarding the characteristics of PLC bands. This analysis is carried out in 2D and 3D for axisymmetric smooth and notched specimens.
