Modeling shear bands in J2 plasticity using a two‐scale formulation via embedded strong discontinuity modes

A new two‐scale finite element formulation was developed for modeling J2 plastic deformation processes (2D) in which shear band localizations take place. The formulation is based on the use of embedded strong discontinuity modes, which are triggered using a stress‐based criterion. The new formulation does not require a specific mesh refinement to model the localization phenomena and provides mesh‐independent results. The shear bands constitutive behavior is derived from the continuum properties without the introduction of any ad hoc physical law. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
