Abstract

Failure of a material is always accompanied by plastic deformation and fracturing processes. Continuum plastic mechanics can handle plastic deformation effectively when it employs a yield function and the flow rule. As a result of its inability to account for the microstructure of the material, the continuum mechanics method has some drawbacks when addressing the fracture problem. The lattice model can simulate the fracture problem quite well, but it is insufficient for plastic deformation. The aim of this paper is to embed the modified Stillinger-Weber potential in the discretized virtual internal bond (SW-DVIB) in order to simulate the plastic deformation and fracture at the bond level. In the original DVIB, the interaction between particles in a cell is characterized by an interatomic bond potential, which intrinsically contains the microfracture mechanism. Nevertheless, because the interatomic potential only accounts for the effect of the bond stretch, the Poisson ratio it represents is fixed. To remedy this drawback, the plasticity is embedded into the modified Stillinger-Weber potential, and the elastoplastic SW-DVIB is developed so that it can simulate the elastoplastic fracture and deformation in the solid with different Poisson ratios. The simulation results show that the method can simulate the fracture behaviors and the plastic deformation with accuracy because it is based on the discrete lattice structure of the elastoplastic SW-DVIB and is efficient in dealing with the model-induced fracture propagation problem.
