SUMMARY
Algorithmic issues for the two thermodynamically consistent viscoplastic formulations of Perzyna and
Duvaut—Lions are discussed. It is shown that it is simple to avoid the numerical problems associated with
a small relaxation time without resorting to elaborate perturbation techniques, as suggested in the literature.
A systematic numerical investigation of the efficiency of Newton iterations, that employ the Algorithmic
Tangential Stiffness (ATS) tensor, as compared to various approximations, is carried out for a cohesive-
frictional model with non-linear isotropic hardening. Generally, the ATS-tensor is formulated in such an
explicit fashion that its tensorial structure resembles that of the underlying rate-independent con-
tinuum stiffness. For both the Perzyna and the Duvaut—Lions format, it appears that the ATS-tensor is
obtained by a proper augmentation of the corresponding rate-independent ATS-tensor. Copyright 1999

KEY WORDS: Algorithmic Tangential Stiffness tensor; viscoplasticity; Closest-Point-Projection Method
1. INTRODUCTION
Viscoplasticity can conveniently be considered as a special class of the classical ‘standard
material’, if the evolution equations for the internal variables are associated with the (quasi-
static) yield function. It is well-known that this situation correponds to ‘maximal dissipation’
characteristics. Nonassociative flow and hardening rules are thus ‘non-standard’ features.
After integration of the evolution equations, relations between stresses and strains are often
obtained on incremental form, whose (non-linear) characteristics depend on the used integration
method. A ‘core-algorithm’ that employs the strain-driven format may be used within any
iterative procedure to solve the equilibrium equations in a FE-strategy (or whenever a stress
component is prescribed, such as in the case of plane stress). Newton iterations are frequently
used, which means that the Algorithmic Tangent Stiffness (ATS) tensor is required.
The classical (and most frequently used) formulation of viscoplasticity is based on the ideas by
Perzyna. Implicit integration of the rate equations gives an incremental format that reminds
strongly about the rate-independent counterpart, as is shown in Section 2.3. It seems that the
ATS-tensor was first established for the Closest-Point-Projection Method (CPPM), applied to
perfect plasticity by Runesson and Booker, and then to various classes of plasticity models with
hardening by Ortiz and Popov, Simo and Taylor, and Runesson et al.. A wealth of literature

has thereafter been devoted to the characteristics of implicit integration rules. For example, the
issue of symmetry of the ATS-tensor was addressed by Ortiz and Martin, Simo and Gondvin-
djee and Runesson and Larsson. It has been established that the ATS-tensor is always
symmetrical (and can be derived as the Hessian of an incremental strain energy density) when the
evolution rules are fully associative. This is only a sufficient condition, since exceptions exist
(which is discussed in this paper). However, to the author’s knowledge, the ATS-tensor has not
been formulated in closed form such that it shows the tensorial structure as compared to the
Continuum Tangent Stiffness (CTS) tensor.
In recent years, the format of viscoplasticity of Duvaut and Lions has been advocated, e.g.
by Simo and Hughes, Simo et al., Simo and Gondvindjee, and it has been shown that
the ATS-tensor is composed additively (with certain weights) of the elastic stiffness and the
ATS-tensor of the underlying rate-independent solution. To the author’s knowledge, the
generalization to non-associative flow and hardening rules has attended less interest. As shown
in this paper, it turns out that the weights are not scalars but fourth-order tensors in general.
We may also mention that attempts have been made to use the consistent linearized format
(which is represented by the ATS-tensor) in order to assess the possibility for localized deforma-
tion in the presence of viscoplastic deformation. For example, Münz et al., while considering the
classical Bingham model in the Duvaut—Lions format, investigated numerically the conditions for
suppressing localization when the underlying plastic response exhibits isotropic linear softening.
For both the Perzyna and Duvaut—Lions formulations, the appropriate ATS-tensor is for-
mulated in such a fashion that its tensorial structure becomes transparent, which requires
elimination of the hardening (internal) variables. As a consequence, a more explicit format than
that employed by e.g. Simo and Hughes and Peric is obtained. It is also shown that the
ATS-tensor for the Perzyna format can be obtained by a very simple augmentation of the
hardening modulus in the corresponding rate-independent ATS-tensor.
The paper is concluded by a systematic numerical evaluation of the two viscoplastic formula-
tions for a cohesive-frictional model involving the Drucker—Prager quasistatic yield criterion. It is
shown in the paper how numerical difficulties for very small relaxation time (when the rate-
independent solution is retrieved), as reported by Peric, can be completely avoided by very
simple manipulation. The efficiency of proper Newton iterations is compared with various
approximations.

it follows that E is positive definite under very mild restrictions on F*, cf. Reference 15. Clearly,

In general, E* and H* are state-dependent (although E and H are assumed constant).

However, for the model considered in Section 4, based on the Drucker—Prager quasistatic yield

Remark. The special case of plastic incompressibility is not allowed in this context, since it
would infer that E* is positive semidefinite. More precisely, E* would be a purely deviatoric
tensor in that case.
As to the choice of H* , let us consider an explicit expression that is associated with the choice

of F* in (12). Obviously, the choice of H* is not unique. One possibility is the following: H* is

The quantity A, which is the algorithmic version of A in (11) pertinent to rate-independent

Remark. The similarity in mathematical structure of E (25) and the CTS-tensor E (10) is
striking. Moreover, the only difference between E, according to Perzyna’s formulation of
viscoplasticity, and E , pertinent to rate-independent plasticity, is the second term in (28) for A.
Since the rate-independent plasticity is defined by t P0, it follows readily that APA and,
*
consequently, EPE, in this extreme case, which should be expected.
It appears readily that E is non-symmetrical in general. In order for E to be symmetrical, it
must be required that E : *rF "E : *rF*. A trivial sufficient condition for this equality to hold is
*rF "*rF* . It is noted that even if the flow rule is of the associative type, i.e. *rF"*rF*, we may
still have *rF O*rF* . In order to guarantee that *rF "*rF* we must require that both the flow
and hardening rules are of associative type, i.e. the format of the ‘‘Standard Dissipative Material’’,
cf. Reference 1, must be employed. However, as we shall see later, the condition
E : *rF "E : *rF* can be satisfied under weaker conditions.
The basic thermodynamic relations (1)—(3) are the same as for Perzyna’s theory whereas the
flow rule and the hardening rule (pertinent to the quasistatic yield surface) are conveniently
chosen in the spirit of Duvaut—Lions as

increment) without any coupling to the viscoplastic properties.
With j known from the solution of (40), we may use (41) to calculate *j(L>r) as follows: Upon
combining (32) and (40) with (41), we obtain the relation

As a proponent for a class of models showing both cohesive and frictional characteristics, we
choose the quasistatic yield surface of Drucker—Prager type with non-associative flow and

hardening rules, accounting for dilatancy and nonlinear isotropic hardening.* In its
rate-independent form such a model is classical in soil and powder mechanics. However, it may
also be used to represent the response of certain metallic materials, which show pressure
dependence. Such an example is grey-cast-iron, cf. Reference 17, in which case the friction angle is
relatively small (in the order of 10). In this paper we restrict our attention to such a situation,
whereby it is possible to presume that only regular solutions are encountered (in order to comply
with the adopted theoretical framework and to avoid further difficulties in conjunction with
possible apex solutions). At this junction, we remark that issues related to integration and the
consistent linearization of non-smooth yield criteria of the Mohr—Coulomb type were recently
discussed by Larsson and Runesson.
The pertinent (class of ) models can be derived from the following form of Helmholtz’s free
energy function (per unit volume)

where p and p are the mean stress and equivalent stress, respectively, which are defined as

In (47), i is the ‘strain-like’ internal variable associated with the drag-stress K, whereas H is the
initial hardening modulus in uniaxial stress. Moreover, the friction coefficient k and the
parameter s can be computed as

s"1. Finally, a non-associative flow rule is obtained when k*(k, where k* is the dilatancy
coefficient.
We shall assume isotropic elasticity, whereby E and E* are given as

Remark. The only source of non-symmetry is the non-associative flow rule, whereas the
non-associative (non-linear) isotropic hardening does not destroy the symmetry. Hence, this is an
example that a fully associative rule is only a sufficient (but not necessary) condition for symmetry
of E (and E ). However, it can be shown that non-linear kinematic hardening does indeed
introduce non-symmetry.

results for the load increment *u/¸"8;10\ whereas (䡩) indicates results for *u/¸"16;10\. The smooth curves are
obtained by taking very small load increments. The curves correspond to different loading rates or different values of the
realization time
The convergence properties were investigated for the following choice of iteration tensors in the
equilibrium iterations: The ATS-tensor E (corresponding to full Newton), the symmetric
ATS -tensor E (the symmetric part of E ), the corresponding elastic-plastic ATS -tensor
E (which is obtained from the ATS-tensor E upon setting t "0), and the elastic ETS-tensor
*
E. We note that E and E are non-symmetric tensors.
Remark. E is still evaluated at the actual state and should not be confused with E for the
Duvaut—Lions model. Moreover, E is the proper tangent tensor only in the case of
rate-independent response.
The number of iterations to satisfy the convergence criterion (83) is shown in Table I for
uR t /¸"8;10\. The importance of using the ATS-tensor, pertinent to the consistent Newton
*
scheme with quadratic convergence, is clearly demonstrated.* An interesting observation is that
the behavior of the ATS -tensor is extremely poor, despite the apparently ‘innocent’ difference
between E and E.
* However, it appears that the symmetric part of the ATS-tensor is equally efficient (for this particular example), which is
a clear advantage in terms of reduced solution time when a conventional direct solver is used.

7. CONCLUSIONS
The two viscoplasticity formulations of Perzyna and Duvaut—Lions were investigated with regard
to algorithmic formulation including their respective consistent linearization (defined by the
ATS-tensor). Both formulations employ the CPPM-concept for the underlying rate-independent
format, and it was concluded that the ‘rate-dependent ATS-tensor’ has a mathematical structure
that is remarkably similar to the CTS-tensor. Moreover, the precise conditions under which this
(rate-independent) ATS-tensor is symmetrical was investigated for cohesive/frictional model with
non-linear isotropic hardening. It turns out that this type of hardening (although it is of
non-associative type) does not introduce non-symmetry. For both the Perzyna and
Duvaut—Lions formulations, the total ATS-tensor is obtained by quite simple (but totally
different) augmentation of the rate-independent correspondent. Moreover, contrary to what has
been claimed in the literature, it is possible to avoid totally any numerical problems associated
with a small relaxation time without resorting to elaborate perturbation technique.
From the limited numerical investigation in this paper, it was found in a consistent fashion that
the symmetric part of the ATS-tensor can be used without serious detriment to the expected
quadratic rate of convergence. However, it was found totally unacceptable to use only the
rate-independent part (for the considered loading rate), since it may even lead to divergent
iterations.
