Bifurcation Analyses of Steel and Concrete with Rate-Dependent Properties Part One: Model Formulation and Verification

Abstract

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Missouri-Columbia, Columbia MO 65211–2200, U.S.A. The effects of strain rate on the mechanical properties of carbon steel and plain concrete are investigated through a rate-dependent elasto-plasticity model and rate-dependent elasto-damage model, respectively. Continuum tangent stiffness tensors are derived for both models so that bifurcation analyses can be performed to identify the onset of material failure. Three-dimensional constitutive model solvers are designed and the numerical results are compared with the experimental data to verify the proposed models.
