Thermo-Elasto-Viscoplastic Modeling of Polymers in Abaqus | UMAT Subroutine
€ 340.0
Package Description
The training package centers on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using Abaqus Standard, specifically focusing on the implementation of advanced constitutive models via Fortran subroutines. The core engineering methodology is a coupled thermo-mechanical finite strain formulation utilizing a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient. The provided code reveals a sophisticated UMAT (User Material) subroutine that implements a “Two-Part” material model structure: Part A features rate-dependent plasticity governed by an Eyring flow rule, while Part B utilizes a hyperelastic network model characterized by a “Locking stretch” parameter, typical for large-deformation polymer mechanics.
This comprehensive training course includes detailed PDF and video tutorials that rigorously cover the underlying theory and mathematical formulations of finite strain kinematics, including Polar decomposition and Hencky strain calculations. The curriculum features a dedicated line-by-line investigation of the UMAT code, guiding users through complex algorithms such as the substepping scheme for numerical integration and the consistent tangent stiffness tensor calculation. Practical application is enforced through specific workshops, most notably the “Tension” simulation derived from the inp file, where users will simulate and analyze tensile deformation under coupled thermal conditions. By the end of this course, users will gain the practical skills necessary to develop, debug, and deploy custom thermo-viscoplastic material subroutines for high-fidelity engineering simulations.
Key Learning Concepts
This training package bridges the gap between theory and application through two core components.
1- comprehensive PDF documentation
Details the mathematical foundations of the Thermo-Elasto-Viscoplastic model, developed to capture the complex behavior of polymers across different temperatures and strain rates. The formulation is built on the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient to separate elastic and plastic parts, combines Hencky elasticity for the isochoric elastic response with the Ree–Eyring thermal activation theory to describe rate- and temperature-dependent viscoplastic flow associated with the α and β relaxation processes, and employs the eight-chain non-Gaussian network model based on the Langevin function to represent entropic (directional) hardening due to polymer chain alignment. The framework is fully thermodynamically consistent, incorporating the heat equation and Fourier’s law to account for thermomechanical coupling and self-heating from plastic dissipation, and it is numerically implemented using a semi-implicit stress update algorithm together with Miehe’s numerical differentiation approach to compute the consistent tangent operator for finite element applications.
This guide also includes a line-by-line breakdown of the UMAT subroutine, empowering you to adapt the code for your specific research.
2- A complimentary video tutorial
Visually reinforces these concepts, walking you through the code structure and step-by-step Abaqus implementation to ensure complete mastery of the simulation workflow.
