Hello all!

Can anyone direct me to any work on using MAT123 to better replicate materials undergoing tensile & compressive deformations, please? Or, does anyone have any experience to share?

Many thanks,

Kara

Dear Kara,

 

Perhaps this might help:

 

Cheng, C.S., “Assessment of Failure Modeling with Thinning Strain Criterion in

LS-DYNA”, Paper No. IMECE2003-55100, ASME 2003 International Mechanical

Engineering Congress and Exposition, pp. 1-13, Washington, D.C., November, 2003.

 

Element deletion based on various failure criteria has been implemented in commercial

finite element analysis packages, e.g. LS-DYNA. However, due to the localized and

nonlinear nature of the material failure, especially for the ductile materials, a good failure

criterion needs to be robust for different mesh definitions and loading conditions. In the

present work, the material model with enhanced failure criterion in LS-DYNA, material

type 123 (MAT123), is investigated. The equations for determining the parameter of the

thinning strain failure criterion are derived based on the assumptions that Yeh et al. [7]

proposed. Simulations of different tests using MAT123 with the thinning strain at failure

calculated show better correlation with the experimental results than the other material

models examined.

Many thanks! I'm trying to obtain this at the moment.

Has no work really been done on this approach since that 2003? Does this indicate that, actually, it is not practical for the applied setting of product development?

Curious!

Dear Kara,

 

I observed that some work was done during 2012 to 2015. However, not much published

Involving theory if any at all.

 

Popularity of particular material models is often hard to explain.

 

Perhaps these presentations might be of some help:

 

Three models were applied on a severely impacted real automotive part, a B-pillar, for three

different mesh sizes. The reliability of prediction was demonstrated for all failure models.

In this study, the simplest MAT_123 failure model was as good as more complex ones as

MAT_224 and CrachFEM. This is explained by the suitable choice of the failure strain based

on the plane strain state condition, assumed to be the most critical and restrictive in crash

application. This illustrates that an adequate calibration of the model is a key issue for an

accurate failure prediction, more than the choice of the failure model itself.

Five material fracture models (*MAT_024, *MAT_120_JC, *MAT_123, *MAT_224, and

MMC) available in LS-DYNA were adopted to simulate the fracture behavior of DP590

and DP780 steels in crush loadings. The capability of the five material fracture models for

the fracture prediction was assessed:

Many thanks!

The inertia of established material models? ;)
