Multiscale elastic-viscoplastic computational analysis

The objective of this work is to develop an efficient strategy for quasi-static problems with elastic-viscoplastic constitutive laws. Our approach is based on the multiscale LATIN method for domain decomposition, and particularly on the use of the Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) method, which allows a drastic decrease in computation costs. We present the method in its general form applicable to problems with constitutive laws expressed using internal variables; then we discuss the technical features which are necessary in order to deal with elastic-viscoplastic models. We illustrate the method in detail through a onedimensional example using a Chaboche-type elastic-viscoplastic constitutive law.
