Widely Employed Constitutive Material Models in Abaqus FEA Software Suite for Simulations of Structures and Their Materials: A Brief Review

The structural response of masonry/concrete structures depends upon the load-carrying mechanism and subsequently deformations produced by loads carried. In masonry/concrete structures, identification of the stress/strain imposing stress conditions and strain hardening/softening makes the structural...

description The structural response of masonry/concrete structures depends upon the load-carrying mechanism and subsequently deformations produced by loads carried. In masonry/concrete structures, identification of the stress/strain imposing stress conditions and strain hardening/softening makes the structural response more complicated. Elastic damage models or elastic-plastic constitutive laws are inadequate to simulate masonry/concrete response under high strain-rate loadings. Further, irreversible or plastic strain cannot be realized using the elastic damage model. Several constitutive damage models are available in the literature. In this article, a concise explanation of the functioning of different material models in the Abaqus software package has been provided. These models include concrete damage plasticity for concrete and masonry, traction separation constitutive laws for brick-mortar interface, Hashin's criteria for CFRP, Johnson-Cook plasticity for steel, and crushable foam plasticity hardening for metallic foams. Researchers frequently utilize these models for numerical simulations and modeling of infrastructural elements and their respective materials when subjected to various structural loads. Besides, this paper presents a discourse on problem-solving methods and a comparison between explicit and implicit analysis. The research provides valuable input to researchers and practitioners in the field of structural engineering for an in-depth understanding of the functioning of Abaqus' pre-existing material models. ? 2024 EDP Sciences.
