Abstract
The Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model is used for porous materials with a plastically isochoric matrix and a volume growth due to the plastic flow in the matrix. The model is used extensively for cast and 3D printed metals, and can be used for metal foams and metamaterials. However most simulations are performed with small strain frameworks or using either hypoelastic formulations teamed with objective stress rates, or Green-based elastoplastic decompositions of total strains. These approaches present known inconsistencies. We present herein a new formulation based on the concept of continuum elastic corrector rates. The derived algorithm retains the additive updates typical of the infinitesimal formulation, but it is consistent with the multiplicative decomposition and a general hyperelastic stored energy.
