Popis: Abstract In multiple physical fields, the mutual influence among these fields can significantly impact material elastoplasticity. This paper proposes a thermodynamic-based constitutive model that incorporates the mutual influence of multiple physical fields. Rather than treating physical field characteristics as adjustable “parameters” affecting material coefficients, the proposed model employs a thermodynamic dissipation potential derived from the Onsager reciprocity relations, accounting for thermodynamic forces coupling. This dissipation potential ensures that the thermodynamic flow in the stress field is influenced by both stress field and other physical fields thermodynamic forces, which describes the plastic flow under multiple physical fields, while preserving thermodynamic duality. The paper begins with the formulation of a generalized thermodynamic model applicable to diverse materials and types of coupled fields, which is then degraded to a specific model for AA5182-O AlMg alloy under the influence of temperature and strain rate fields coupling. Given the universal applicability of the generalized model, such degradation provides a structured approach framework for developing thermodynamics-based constitutive models. For different materials encountered in practical engineering, new thermodynamic forces can be introduced to describe their unique mechanical properties while preserving the overarching thermodynamics-based model framework, thereby facilitating model scalability. The paper concludes with a validation example, showing that within the Portevin-Le Chatelie (PLC) regime, the plastic flow stress of AA5182-O AlMg alloy decreases with increasing strain rate at low temperatures but increases at high temperatures. The accurate simulation of these distinct strain rate effects crucially relies on integrating the mutual influence of temperature field and strain rate field.
