In this paper we discuss some fundamental problems associated with incremental anisotropic plasticity theories when applied to unidirectional composite materials. In particular, we question the validity of an effective stress-strain relation for highly anisotropic materials of this nature. An effective stress-strain relation is conventionally used to determine a flow rule for plastic strain increments. It is our view that such a relation generally does not exist for many high-performance unidirectional composites. To alleviate the problem associated with defining an effective stress-strain curve we develop an anisotropic plasticity theory in which the flow rule does not requires such a relation. The proposed theory relies on developing an accurate expression for a scalar hardening parameter g(σ). The general form of g(σ) is substantially reduced by invoking invariance requirements based on material symmetry. The general invariant-based theory developed herein is specialized to case of transverse isotropy and applied to the analysis of a nonlinear elastic-plastic unidirectional composite material. The invariant-based theory is shown to produce superior results over the traditional approach for a series of uniaxial and biaxial load cases predicted using finite element micromechanics. |
