VUMAT_KEN_JARM_AVR_OC_IJSS_2019: ABAQUS Subroutine for HCP Metal Plasticity

A VUMAT subroutine for the ABAQUS/Explicit finite element code implements the constitutive model of Nixon et al. (2010). Komi Espoir N'souglo authored this code, which was used for all simulations in the N'souglo et al. (2019) paper. The model accounts for anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry in the plastic response of hexagonal close-packed metals.

Use Cases

• Simulate plastic deformation of hcp metals based on the described constitutive model.
• Implement the Nixon et al. (2010) material model in ABAQUS/Explicit for research validation.
• Study tension-compression asymmetry in metal forming processes using the provided subroutine.
• Benchmark finite element simulations against the results from N'souglo et al. (2019).

Strengths

• Specifically implements a peer-reviewed constitutive model from Nixon et al. (2010).
• Used to generate all simulation results for the N'souglo et al. (2019) publication, providing a direct link to research.
• Addresses a specific material science challenge: anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry in hcp metals.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual code quality and functionality require manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; subroutine inputs and outputs must be inferred from the source code.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for the underlying data format.
