Meshfree Analysis of Higher-Order Gradient Crystal Plasticity Using Nodal Integration

Article Preview

Abstract:

The size effect of metallic materials is one of the important factors for understanding characteristics of material. The higher-order gradient crystal plasticity is a powerful model for describing the size effect. However, it is known that the finite element method sometimes provides an improper solution. In this study, we analyze the higher-order gradient crystal plasticity model using a meshfree method, and a nodal integration scheme is introduced to improve the analysis accuracy. The effectiveness and stability of the meshfree method for the higher-order gradient crystal plasticity model are quantitatively discussed.
