Shear bands in glass.1

Localization in a solid material is the formation of shear bands or cracks.

Localization is easy to see in real life, but in computer modeling it can be difficult to detect and handle correctly.

Localization usually leads to structural failure.Key Question

How can we detect localization when strains are equal in two different directions, like a cylindrical column supporting building?

Determinants and Eigenvalues

A matrix has two measures of how it changes vectors in the plane: determinant and eigenvalues.

One Determinant: Multiply a times b.Fast to compute.Tells total change in volume.

Two Eigenvalues: a, b.Slower to compute.Tell stretching along each axis.

The minimum determinant method of [Ortiz, 1985] fails to detect localization when there are symmetric strains because the symmetry causes the determinant to always be positive.

The minimum eigenvalue method (unpublished) will detect localization even with symmetric strains.

Minimum eigenvalues change dramatically in a short period of time at the onset of localization.

The minimum eigenvalue method can be implemented with a reasonable computational overhead.

Visualization of minimum eigenvalues provides a way of seeing the approach of localization.

Graphical validation allows detection of anomalies in model. Norm of change vs. time

shows evolution of state.

Minimum eigenvalue method is competitive with minimum determinant in von Mises J2 model.

Detection algorithm runs 40% faster after optimization.

Visual verification methods detected several problems in the underlying implementation of the model.
