a b s t r a c t In the framework of limit analysis theory, we derive closed-form expressions of approximate criteria for ductile porous materials whose plastically compressible matrix obeys to an elliptic criterion. The general methodology is based on limit analysis of a hollow sphere subjected to a uniform strain rate boundary conditions. We first consider a porous medium with a Green type matrix and establish the corresponding macroscopic yield function. Then, the obtained results are used in order to investigate double porous materials whose solid phase at the microscale (the smallest scale) obeys a von Mises criterion. The results are assessed by comparing them with numerical data, and with recently published results. Ó 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Since the pioneering work of Gurson [9], limit analysis-based modeling of the ductile behavior of porous media have been the subject of intense research. Among existing contributions, mention can be done of works concerning with voids shape effects (see for instance [5,6,21,22]) or with matrix plastic anisotropy [15,1,14,18,11]. For a complete review, the reader may refer to the recent review by [2]. In contrast to the above cited works which all considered that the matrix is incompressible, few researches have been carried out for porous materials with plastic compressible matrix. In the context of limit analysis-based developments, Lee and Oung [13] took into account the plastic compressibility of the matrix by considering that its behavior is described by a Mises–Schleicher criterion, while studies by [10,8] or [26] consider that the matrix behavior obeys a Drucker–Prager criterion.1 The present study is devoted to the investigation of porous media whose solid matrix obeys to an elliptic criterion, expressed as a quadratic function of the first invariant of stress and of the von Mises equivalent stress. A typical example of such a criterion is

that proposed by Green [7] (see also [12]) and more recently considered by [3]. It is interesting to note that elliptic criteria2 may also result by applying a nonlinear homogenization approach to porous materials having a Von Mises matrix (see [23] or [17]). The objective of the present study is to establish macroscopic criteria for ductile porous materials having a Green type matrix. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we present and apply Hill–Mandel homogenization to derive the plastic potential for a porous material having a matrix obeying to an elliptic criterion in the form (1). A closed-form expression of the criterion is derived (see Section 2.2). The results are then assessed and discussed by comparing them with numerical data, and with results available in the literature. The proposed development is particularly interesting for some porous geomaterials or polymers. Moreover, for various cases of practical interest, including application to metals, the porosity can be found at two scales which will be denoted microscale and mesoscale in the following. For this class of double porous media for which two populations of voids exist at two well separated scales, Vincent et al. [27] recently established original results by performing two step homogenization. For the transition from microscale to mesoscale, these authors considered a von Mises solid phase and adopted a Gurson criterion. Their final result is given in the form of a macroscopic criterion which was obtained after several approximations. In this paper, we develop criteria for 2

porous media with 2 populations of porosities by adopting instead of Gurson criterion, the newly developed criterion presented in Section 2. 2. Approximate macroscopic criterion for a porous medium having a Green type matrix 2.1. General methodology of limit analysis theory applied to a porous medium with the Green matrix Let us first consider a hollow sphere whose internal and external radii are respectively denoted a and b; the porosity corresponding to this hollow sphere is then f = a3/b3. Uniform strain rate boundary conditions are applied on the outer surface of the hollow sphere: v = D.x for x = ber. The quantity D represents the applied uniform macroscopic strain rate. The matrix is isotropic and rigid perfect plastic. It is assumed that the matrix obeys an elliptic criterion of the form:

a

/ðrÞ ¼ br2eq þ ðtr rÞ2  r20 6 0 2

ð1Þ

where a and b are positive material constants (Green-type criterion); In Eq. (1) r denotes the microscopic stress tensor and r0 is related to the shear strength of the matrix. r2eq ¼ 32 r0 : r0 with r0 representing the deviatoric part of the stress tensor. Note that Eq. (1) can be also put in the following form:

/ðrÞ ¼

3 r : M : r  r20 6 0 2

ð2Þ

with M ¼ aJ þ bK, in which J and K are the standard projectors of isotropic fourth-order symmetric tensors having both major and minor symmetries. These projectors are expressed as J ¼ 13 1  1, K ¼ I  J where 1; I are the second-order and the symmetric fourth-order unit tensors, respectively. Components of I are Iijkl ¼ 12 ðdik djl þ dil djk Þ in which d denotes the well-known Kronecker’s symbol. The plastic compressibility of the matrix lies in the presence of the hydrostatic component of the stress in Eq. (2). Application of the normality rule gives the local strain rate:

2.2. The considered velocity field and the corresponding macroscopic yield function Following [27], the velocity field in the matrix is chosen in the form: 3

v ¼ Ax þ

with Dm ¼ 13 trD and D0 the deviatoric part of the macroscopic strain rate D. The homogeneous field Ax is used to introduce a compressible component in the velocity field v; the two remaining terms (inspired from the Gurson velocity field) are kinematically admissible with (D  A1). More precisely, the second term in (10) corresponds to the expansion of the cavity and the outer volume, while the third one describes the shape change of the cavity and of the outer volume without change of volume. Hence, for any value of A, the whole velocity field v complies with the uniform strain rate D applied to the hollow sphere. The strain rate in the solid matrix can be obtained from Eq. (10); in spherical coordinates, one obtains: 3

For the uniform strain rate boundary conditions, considered in the present study, the following inequality holds for all macroscopic stress R and macroscopic strain rate D [20,4]:

Finally, from (21) we can get the expressions of RA and RB:

ð29Þ

Note that the presence of the term R2m constitutes the macroscopic counterpart of the local plastic compressibility and the main difference with the Gurson criterion. It is worth noticing that the particular case of a = 0 and b = 1 (von Mises solid matrix) readily yields the Gurson criterion of the porous material. 3. Application to porous materials with two populations of voids

Similarly to the approach used by Gurson, one can then establish the following relationships:

We aim now at validating the macroscopic criterion given by Eq. (29) by applying it to a material containing two populations of spherical cavities at two different scales (see Fig. 1). The voids in the two populations are assumed to be spherical and isotropically distributed. Let us recall the notation jXj which denotes the volume of the representative elementary volume. Following [28], we also denote by xb the domain occupied by the cavities at the smallest scale (microscale) and xe the one occupied by the voids at the upper scale (mesoscale). With these notations, the porosities

which is of Gurson [9] type with appropriate quantities RA et RB. Compared to criteria proposed by [28] for the same class of porous materials, differences provided by (22) mainly lie in the definition of RA and RB which have to be now explicited. To this end, noticing that M depends only on D and A, while N is a function of Dm and A, it comes:

homogenization techniques (see, e.g. [24]) which lead to an elliptic criterion. This is required in order to be able to apply the results established in Section 2. Two slightly different elliptic criteria of the porous matrix at mesoscale will be considered in the following. 3.2. Case of a matrix described by Ponte Castañeda [23] criterion The porosity at the microscale being denoted fb, the elliptic criterion established by [23], by considering a variational approach, is:

  2  2 2 req 9 rm 2 1 þ fb þ fb  ð1  fb Þ ¼ 0 3 4 r0 r0

ð31Þ

This criterion can be expressed in the form of Eq. (1) by setting: Fig. A.1. Cell of a double porous medium subjected to an hydrostatic loading.

fb, fe, corresponding respectively to the micro and meso scales, and the total porosity f can be expressed as:

fb ¼

Blue: obtained by (29); Red: obtained by (43). (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)

In the case of hydrostatic loading, it can be noted that the value of Rrm0 , obtained from Eq. (33) is very close to the exact solution that we established by studying a perfectly rigid plastic hollow sphere having a matrix obeying to the elliptic criterion (1) (the proof is shown in Appendix A). To assess the capabilities of the developed criterion (33), we compare it to the criterion proposed by [28] (see also Vincent et al. [27]) in which, interestingly, the homogenization from micro to mesoscale was achieved by considering a Gurson type matrix. Fig. 2 shows that in the case fb = 0.01, fe = 0.01, the surface predicted by the criterion (33) is outside the upper bound (the results of [28]), and outside the numerical available results, for large stress triaxialities; the predicted yield surface is very close to the other two for low stress triaxialities. In the case fb = 0.1, fe = 0.01, with low stress triaxiality, the surface predicted by the new criterion (33) is inside the upper bound, while it is outside when the stress triaxiality is large. In the case fb = 0.01 and fe = 0.1, then fb = 0.1 and fe = 0.1, the different results appear more in agreement. 3.3. Case of a matrix described by the criterion of Michel and Suquet [17] Another elliptic type criterion of porous media proposed by Michel and Suquet [17] has the following expression:

  2  2  2 2 req 9 1  fb rm 2 1 þ fb þ  ð1  f b Þ ¼ 0 3 4 lnðfb Þ r0 r0

Making use of this estimate, it follows that the criterion for a double porous material is: Fig. A.3.

The comparison of the yield locus according to criterion (36) in this case with that provided by [28] (semi-analytical expression and numerical simulations by finite elements) is shown on Fig. 3. We note that in the case fb = 0.01, fe = 0.01; fb = 0.1, fe = 0.01, and fb = 0.1, fe = 0.1, our results from (36) are inside the upper bound. In the case fb = 0.01, fe = 0.1, with large stress triaxiality, our results are still inside the upper bound, while at low stress triaxiality they coincide well with the upper bound proposed by [28]. A qualitative agreement with numerical data is noted. 4. Conclusion

The present study concerns the development of a micromechanical approach for modeling ductile porous media made up of a matrix obeying an elliptic criterion. Based on limit analysis theory, we first derive a closed-form criterion for a porous material with Green type matrix containing spherical voids. By considering a two steps homogenization procedure, we then used this criterion to derive the macroscopic yield function of double porous media whose solid phase at microscale obeys to a von Mises criterion. To this end, two elliptic-type criteria one by [23] and the other by [17] have been considered in the first homogenization step. The derived closed-form expressions for the criteria obtained for the double porous media have been assessed through comparison with those established by [27].

Further extensions of the present study will consist in considering two populations of saturated pores (at micro and meso scales) with different pore pressures. Appendix A. Solution of hollow sphere with Green type matrix, subjected to hydrostatic loadings Let us consider a hollow sphere made up of a rigid perfectly plastic matrix and subjected to a hydrostatic loading (see Fig. A.1). The internal and external radi are respectively denoted a and b. This hollow sphere is subjected to a uniform hydrostatic loading at external boundary, i.e. r  n = Rmn with Rm P 0. The matrix is still assumed to obey to an elliptic Green [7] type criterion:

3 r : ðaJ þ bKÞ : r  r20 ¼ 0 2

ð37Þ

Due to the spherical symmetry of the problem, the microscopic stress tensor is reduced to the following components: rrr, rhh  ruu. It follows that the equilibrium equations give:

drrr rhh  rrr ¼2 dr r

ð38Þ

The boundary conditions read:

rrr ðaÞ ¼ 0; rrr ðbÞ ¼ Rm

Moreover, we have the equivalent stress r ¼ ðrhh  rrr Þ and the local hydrostatic stress rm ¼ 13 ðrrr þ 2rhh Þ ¼ rrr  23 ðrrr  rhh Þ, hence the criterion is written: 2 eq

It is observed that the two results are very closed, the approximated value being always bigger than the exact one (see also this in the Fig. A.4). References [1] A.A. Benzerga, J.
