1.1.41 UMATUser subroutine to define a material's mechanical behavior.Product: Abaqus/StandardWarning: The use of this subroutine generally requires considerable expertise. Y ou arecautioned that the implementation of any realistic constitutive model requires extensivedevelopment and testing. Initial testing on a single-element model with prescribedtraction loading is strongly recommended.References“User-defined mechanical material behavior,” Section 26.7.1 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide“User-defined thermal material behavior,” Section 26.7.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide*USER MA TERIAL“S D V I N I,” Section 4.1.11 of the Abaqus V erification Guide“U M A T and U H Y P E R,” Section 4.1.21 of the Abaqus V erification GuideOv erv iewUser subroutine U M A T:can be used to define the mechanical constitutive behavior of a material;will be called at all material calculation points of elements for which the material definition includes auser-defined material behavior;can be used with any procedure that includes mechanical behavior;can use solution-dependent state variables;must update the stresses and solution-dependent state variables to their values at the end of theincrement for which it is called;must provide the material Jacobian matrix, , for the mechanical constitutive model;can be used in conjunction with user subroutine U S D F L D to redefine any field variables before they are passed in; andis described further in “User-defined mechanical material behavior,” Section 26.7.1 of the AbaqusAnalysis User's Guide.Storage of stress and strain componentsIn the stress and strain arrays and in the matrices D D S D D E, D D S D D T, and D R P L D E, direct components are stored first, followed by shear components. There are N D I direct and N S H R engineering shear components. The order of the components is defined in “Conventions,” Section 1.2.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide. Since the number of active stress and strain components varies between element types, the routine must be coded toprovide for all element types with which it will be used.Defining local orientationsIf a local orientation (“Orientations,” Section 2.2.5 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide) is used at the same point as user subroutine U M A T, the stress and strain components will be in the local orientation; and, in the case of finite-strain analysis, the basis system in which stress and strain components are stored rotates with the material.StabilityY ou should ensure that the integration scheme coded in this routine is stable—no direct provision is made to include a stability limit in the time stepping scheme based on the calculations in U M A T.Convergence rateD D S D DE and—for coupled temperature-displacement and coupled thermal-electrical-structural analyses—D D S D D T, D R P L D E, and D R P L D T must be defined accurately if rapid convergence of the overall Newton scheme is to be achieved. In most cases the accuracy of this definition is the most important factor governing the convergence rate. Since nonsymmetric equation solution is as much as four times as expensive as the corresponding symmetric system, if the constitutive Jacobian (D D S D D E) is only slightly nonsymmetric (for example, a frictional material with a small friction angle), it may be less expensive computationally to use a symmetric approximation and accept a slower convergence rate.An incorrect definition of the material Jacobian affects only the convergence rate; the results (if obtained) are unaffected.Special considerations for various element typesThere are several special considerations that need to be noted.A v ailability of deformation gradientThe deformation gradient is available for solid (continuum) elements, membranes, and finite-strain shells(S3/S3R, S4, S4R, SAXs, and SAXAs). It is not available for beams or small-strain shells. It is stored as a 3× 3 matrix with component equivalence D F G R D0(I,J). For fully integrated first-order isoparametric elements (4-node quadrilaterals in two dimensions and 8-node hexahedra in three dimensions) the selectively reduced integration technique is used (also known as the technique). Thus, a modified deformation gradientis passed into user subroutine U M A T. For more details, see “Solid isoparametric quadrilaterals and hexahedra,”Section 3.2.4 of the Abaqus Theory Guide.Beams and shells that calculate transv erse shear energyIf user subroutine U M A T is used to describe the material of beams or shells that calculate transverse shear energy, you must specify the transverse shear stiffness as part of the beam or shell section definition to define the transverse shear behavior. See “Shell section behavior,” Section 29.6.4 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide, and “Choosing a beam element,” Section 29.3.3 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide, for informationon specifying this stiffness.Open-section beam elementsWhen user subroutine U M A T is used to describe the material response of beams with open sections (for example, an I-section), the torsional stiffness is obtained aswhere J is the torsional constant, A is the section area, k is a shear factor, and is the user-specified transverse shear stiffness (see “Transverse shear stiffness definition” in “Choosing a beam element,” Section29.3.3 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide).E lements w ith hourglassing modesIf this capability is used to describe the material of elements with hourglassing modes, you must define the hourglass stiffness factor for hourglass control based on the total stiffness approach as part of the element section definition. The hourglass stiffness factor is not required for enhanced hourglass control, but you can define a scaling factor for the stiffness associated with the drill degree of freedom (rotation about the surface normal). See “Section controls,” Section 27.1.4 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide, for information on specifying the stiffness factor.Pipe-soil interaction elementsThe constitutive behavior of the pipe-soil interaction elements (see “Pipe-soil interaction elements,” Section 32.12.1 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide) is defined by the force per unit length caused by relative displacement between two edges of the element. The relative-displacements are available as “strains” (S T R A N and D S T R A N). The corresponding forces per unit length must be defined in the S T R E S S array. The Jacobian matrix defines the variation of force per unit length with respect to relative displacement.For two-dimensional elements two in-plane components of “stress” and “strain” exist (N T E N S=N D I=2, andN S H R=0). For three-dimensional elements three components of “stress” and “strain” exist (N T E N S=N D I=3, and N S H R=0).Large volume changes with geometric nonlinearityIf the material model allows large volume changes and geometric nonlinearity is considered, the exact definition of the consistent Jacobian should be used to ensure rapid convergence. These conditions are most commonly encountered when considering either large elastic strains or pressure-dependent plasticity. In the former case, total-form constitutive equations relating the Cauchy stress to the deformation gradient are commonly used; in the latter case, rate-form constitutive laws are generally used.For total-form constitutive laws, the exact consistent Jacobian is defined through the variation in Kirchhoff stress:Here, J is the determinant of the deformation gradient, is the Cauchy stress, is the virtual rate of deformation, and is the virtual spin tensor, defined asFor rate-form constitutive laws, the exact consistent Jacobian is given byUse with incompressible elastic materialsFor user-defined incompressible elastic materials, user subroutine U H Y P E R should be used rather than user subroutine U M A T. In U M A T incompressible materials must be modeled via a penalty method; that is, you must ensure that a finite bulk modulus is used. The bulk modulus should be large enough to model incompressibility sufficiently but small enough to avoid loss of precision. As a general guideline, the bulk modulus should be about – times the shear modulus. The tangent bulk modulus can be calculated fromIf a hybrid element is used with user subroutine U M A T, Abaqus/Standard will replace the pressure stress calculated from your definition of S T R E S S with that derived from the Lagrange multiplier and will modify the Jacobian appropriately.For incompressible pressure-sensitive materials the element choice is particularly important when using user subroutine U M A T. In particular, first-order wedge elements should be avoided. For these elements the technique is not used to alter the deformation gradient that is passed into user subroutine U M A T, which increases the risk of volumetric locking.Increments for which only the Jacobian can be definedAbaqus/Standard passes zero strain increments into user subroutine U M A T to start the first increment of all the steps and all increments of steps for which you have suppressed extrapolation (see “Defining an analysis,”Section 6.1.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide). In this case you can define only the Jacobian (D D S D D E).Utility routinesSeveral utility routines may help in coding user subroutine U M A T. Their functions include determining stress invariants for a stress tensor and calculating principal values and directions for stress or strain tensors. These utility routines are discussed in detail in “Obtaining stress invariants, principal stress/strain values and directions, and rotating tensors in an Abaqus/Standard analysis,” Section 2.1.11.U ser subroutine interfaceS U B R O U T I N E U M A T(S T R E S S,S T A T E V,D D S D D E,S S E,S P D,S C D,1R P L,D D S D D T,D R P L D E,D R P L D T,2S T R A N,D S T R A N,T I M E,D T I M E,T E M P,D T E M P,P R E D E F,D P R E D,C M N A M E,3N D I,N S H R,N T E N S,N S T A T V,P R O P S,N P R O P S,C O O R D S,D R O T,P N E W D T,4C E L E N T,D F G R D0,D F G R D1,N O E L,N P T,L A Y E R,K S P T,K S T E P,K I N C)CI N C L U D E'A B A_P A R A M.I N C'C H A R A C T E R*80C M N A M ED I ME N S I O N S T R E S S(N T E N S),S T A T E V(N S T A T V),1D D S D D E(N T E N S,N T E N S),D D S D D T(N T E N S),D R P L D E(N T E N S),2S T R A N(N T E N S),D S T R A N(N T E N S),T I M E(2),P R E D E F(1),D P R E D(1),3P R O P S(N P R O P S),C O O R D S(3),D R O T(3,3),D F G R D0(3,3),D F G R D1(3,3)user coding to define D D S D D E,S T R E S S,S T A T E V,S S E,S P D,S C Dand, if necessary,R P L,D D S D D T,D R P L D E,D R P L D T,P N E W D TR E T U R NE N DV ariables to be definedIn all situationsD D S D D E(N TE N S,N T E N S)Jacobian matrix of the constitutive model, , where are the stress increments and are the strain increments. D D S D D E(I,J) defines the change in the I th stress component at the end of the time increment caused by an infinitesimal perturbation of the J th component of the strain increment array.Unless you invoke the unsymmetric equation solution capability for the user-defined material,Abaqus/Standard will use only the symmetric part of D D S D D E. The symmetric part of the matrix iscalculated by taking one half the sum of the matrix and its transpose.S T R E S S(N T E N S)This array is passed in as the stress tensor at the beginning of the increment and must be updated in this routine to be the stress tensor at the end of the increment. If you specified initial stresses (“Initial conditions in Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit,” Section 34.2.1 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide), this array will contain the initial stresses at the start of the analysis. The size of this array depends on the value of N T E N S as defined below. In finite-strain problems the stress tensor has already been rotated to account for rigid body motion in the increment before U M A T is called, so that only the corotational part of the stress integration should be done in U M A T. The measure of stress used is “true” (Cauchy) stress.S T A T E V(N S T A T V)An array containing the solution-dependent state variables. These are passed in as the values at thebeginning of the increment unless they are updated in user subroutines U S D F L D or U E X P A N, in which case the updated values are passed in. In all cases S T A T E V must be returned as the values at the end of the increment. The size of the array is defined as described in “Allocating space” in “User subroutines:overview,” Section 18.1.1 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide.In finite-strain problems any vector-valued or tensor-valued state variables must be rotated to account for rigid body motion of the material, in addition to any update in the values associated with constitutivebehavior. The rotation increment matrix, D R O T, is provided for this purpose.S S E,S P D,S C DSpecific elastic strain energy, plastic dissipation, and “creep” dissipation, respectively. These are passed in as the values at the start of the increment and should be updated to the corresponding specific energy values at the end of the increment. They have no effect on the solution, except that they are used forenergy output.Only in a fully coupled thermal-stress or a coupled thermal-electrical-structural analysisR P LV olumetric heat generation per unit time at the end of the increment caused by mechanical working of the material.D D S D D T(N TE N S)V ariation of the stress increments with respect to the temperature.D R P L D E(N TE N S)V ariation of R P L with respect to the strain increments.D R P L D TV ariation of R P L with respect to the temperature.Only in a geostatic stress procedure or a coupled pore fluid diffusion/stress analysis for pore pressure cohesive elementsR P LR P L is used to indicate whether or not a cohesive element is open to the tangential flow of pore fluid. Set R P L equal to 0 if there is no tangential flow; otherwise, assign a nonzero value to R P L if an element is open.Once opened, a cohesive element will remain open to the fluid flow.V ariable that can be updatedP N E W D TRatio of suggested new time increment to the time increment being used (D T I M E, see discussion later in this section). This variable allows you to provide input to the automatic time incrementation algorithms in Abaqus/Standard (if automatic time incrementation is chosen). For a quasi-static procedure the automatic time stepping that Abaqus/Standard uses, which is based on techniques for integrating standard creep laws (see “Quasi-static analysis,” Section 6.2.5 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide), cannot becontrolled from within the U M A T subroutine.P N E W D T is set to a large value before each call to U M A T.If P N E W D T is redefined to be less than 1.0, Abaqus/Standard must abandon the time increment andattempt it again with a smaller time increment. The suggested new time increment provided to theautomatic time integration algorithms is P N E W D T × D T I M E, where the P N E W D T used is the minimum value for all calls to user subroutines that allow redefinition of P N E W D T for this iteration.If P N E W D T is given a value that is greater than 1.0 for all calls to user subroutines for this iteration and the increment converges in this iteration, Abaqus/Standard may increase the time increment. The suggestednew time increment provided to the automatic time integration algorithms is P N E W D T × D T I M E, where the P N E W D T used is the minimum value for all calls to user subroutines for this iteration.If automatic time incrementation is not selected in the analysis procedure, values of P N E W D T that aregreater than 1.0 will be ignored and values of P N E W D T that are less than 1.0 will cause the job to terminate. V ariables passed in for informationS T R A N(N T E N S)An array containing the total strains at the beginning of the increment. If thermal expansion is included in the same material definition, the strains passed into U M A T are the mechanical strains only (that is, thethermal strains computed based upon the thermal expansion coefficient have been subtracted from the total strains). These strains are available for output as the “elastic” strains.In finite-strain problems the strain components have been rotated to account for rigid body motion in the increment before U M A T is called and are approximations to logarithmic strain.D S T R A N(N TE N S)Array of strain increments. If thermal expansion is included in the same material definition, these are the mechanical strain increments (the total strain increments minus the thermal strain increments).T I M E(1)V alue of step time at the beginning of the current increment or frequency.T I M E(2)V alue of total time at the beginning of the current increment.D T I M ETime increment.T E M PTemperature at the start of the increment.D TE M PIncrement of temperature.P R E D E FArray of interpolated values of predefined field variables at this point at the start of the increment, based on the values read in at the nodes.D P RE DArray of increments of predefined field variables.C M N A M EUser-defined material name, left justified. Some internal material models are given names starting with the “ABQ_” character string. To avoid conflict, you should not use “ABQ_” as the leading string for C M N A M E. N D INumber of direct stress components at this point.N S H RNumber of engineering shear stress components at this point.N T E N SSize of the stress or strain component array (N D I + N S H R).N S T A T VNumber of solution-dependent state variables that are associated with this material type (defined asdescribed in “Allocating space” in “User subroutines: overview,” Section 18.1.1 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide).P R O P S(N P R O P S)User-specified array of material constants associated with this user material.N P R O P SUser-defined number of material constants associated with this user material.C O O RD SAn array containing the coordinates of this point. These are the current coordinates if geometricnonlinearity is accounted for during the step (see “Defining an analysis,” Section 6.1.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide); otherwise, the array contains the original coordinates of the point.D R O T(3,3)Rotation increment matrix. This matrix represents the increment of rigid body rotation of the basis system in which the components of stress (S T R E S S) and strain (S T R A N) are stored. It is provided so that vector-or tensor-valued state variables can be rotated appropriately in this subroutine: stress and straincomponents are already rotated by this amount before U M A T is called. This matrix is passed in as a unit matrix for small-displacement analysis and for large-displacement analysis if the basis system for thematerial point rotates with the material (as in a shell element or when a local orientation is used).C E L E N TCharacteristic element length, which is a typical length of a line across an element for a first-order element;it is half of the same typical length for a second-order element. For beams and trusses it is a characteristic length along the element axis. For membranes and shells it is a characteristic length in the referencesurface. For axisymmetric elements it is a characteristic length in the plane only. For cohesiveelements it is equal to the constitutive thickness.D F G R D0(3,3)Array containing the deformation gradient at the beginning of the increment. If a local orientation is defined at the material point, the deformation gradient components are expressed in the local coordinate system defined by the orientation at the beginning of the increment. For a discussion regarding the availability of the deformation gradient for various element types, see “Availability of deformation gradient.”D F G R D1(3,3)Array containing the deformation gradient at the end of the increment. If a local orientation is defined at the material point, the deformation gradient components are expressed in the local coordinate system defined by the orientation. This array is set to the identity matrix if nonlinear geometric effects are not included in the step definition associated with this increment.

Subroutine U M A T merely acts as a directory here. The argument list may be the same as that used in subroutine U M A T.Example: Simple linear viscoelastic materialAs a simple example of the coding of user subroutine U M A T, consider the linear, viscoelastic model shown in Figure 1.1.41–1. Although this is not a very useful model for real materials, it serves to illustrate how to code the routine.Figure 1.1.41–1 Simple linear viscoelastic model.The behavior of the one-dimensional model shown in the figure iswhere and are the time rates of change of stress and strain. This can be generalized for small straining of an isotropic solid asandwhereand , , , , and are material constants ( and are the Lamé constants).A simple, stable integration operator for this equation is the central difference operator:where f is some function, is its value at the beginning of the increment, is the change in the function over the increment, and is the time increment.Applying this to the rate constitutive equations above givesandso that the Jacobian matrix has the termsandThe total change in specific energy in an increment for this material iswhile the change in specific elastic strain energy iswhere D is the elasticity matrix:No state variables are needed for this material, so the allocation of space for them is not necessary. In a morerealistic case a set of parallel models of this type might be used, and the stress components in each model might be stored as state variables.For our simple case a user material definition can be used to read in the five constants in the order , , , , and so thatThe routine can then be coded as follows:S U B R O U T I N E U M A T(S T R E S S,S T A T E V,D D S D D E,S S E,S P D,S C D,1R P L,D D S D D T,D R P L D E,D R P L D T,2S T R A N,D S T R A N,T I M E,D T I M E,T E M P,D T E M P,P R E D E F,D P R E D,C M N A M E,3N D I,N S H R,N T E N S,N S T A T V,P R O P S,N P R O P S,C O O R D S,D R O T,P N E W D T,4C E L E N T,D F G R D0,D F G R D1,N O E L,N P T,L A Y E R,K S P T,K S T E P,K I N C)CI N C L U D E'A B A_P A R A M.I N C'CC H A R A C T E R*80C M N A M ED I ME N S I O N S T R E S S(N T E N S),S T A T E V(N S T A T V),1D D S D D E(N T E N S,N T E N S),2D D S D D T(N T E N S),D R P L D E(N T E N S),3S T R A N(N T E N S),D S T R A N(N T E N S),T I M E(2),P R E D E F(1),D P R E D(1),4P R O P S(N P R O P S),C O O R D S(3),D R O T(3,3),D F G R D0(3,3),D F G R D1(3,3)D I ME N S I O N D S T R E S(6),D(3,3)CC E V A L U A T E N E W S T R E S S T E N S O RCE V=0.D E V=0.D O K1=1,N D IE V=E V+S T R A N(K1)D E V=D E V+D S T R A N(K1)E N D D OCT E R M1=.5*D T I M E+P R O P S(5)T E R M1I=1./T E R M1T E R M2=(.5*D T I M E*P R O P S(1)+P R O P S(3))*T E R M1I*D E VT E R M3=(D T I M E*P R O P S(2)+2.*P R O P S(4))*T E R M1ICD O K1=1,N D ID S T RE S(K1)=T E R M2+T E R M3*D S T R A N(K1)1+D T I M E*T E R M1I*(P R O P S(1)*E V2+2.*P R O P S(2)*S T R A N(K1)-S T R E S S(K1))S T R E S S(K1)=S T R E S S(K1)+D S T R E S(K1)E N D D OCT E R M2=(.5*D T I M E*P R O P S(2)+P R O P S(4))*T E R M1II1=N D ID O K1=1,N S H RI1=I1+1D S T RE S(I1)=T E R M2*D S T R A N(I1)+1D T I M E*T E R M1I*(P R O P S(2)*S T R A N(I1)-S T R E S S(I1)) S T R E S S(I1)=S T R E S S(I1)+D S T R E S(I1)E N D D OCC C R E A T E N E W J A C O B I A NCT E R M2=(D T I M E*(.5*P R O P S(1)+P R O P S(2))+P R O P S(3)+12.*P R O P S(4))*T E R M1IT E R M3=(.5*D T I M E*P R O P S(1)+P R O P S(3))*T E R M1ID O K1=1,N TE N SD O K2=1,N TE N SD D S D D E(K2,K1)=0.E N D D OE N D D OCD O K1=1,N D ID D S D D E(K1,K1)=TE R M2E N D D OCD O K1=2,N D IN2=K1–1D O K2=1,N2D D S D D E(K2,K1)=TE R M3D D S D D E(K1,K2)=TE R M3E N D D OE N D D OT E R M2=(.5*D T I M E*P R O P S(2)+P R O P S(4))*T E R M1II1=N D ID O K1=1,N S H RI1=I1+1D D S D D E(I1,I1)=TE R M2E N D D OCC T O T A L C H A N G E I N S P E C I F I C E N E R G YCT D E=0.D O K1=1,N TE N ST D E=T D E+(S T R E S S(K1)-.5*D S T R E S(K1))*D S T R A N(K1)E N D D OCC C H A N G E I N S P E C I F I C E L A S T I C S T R A I N E N E R G YCT E R M1=P R O P S(1)+2.*P R O P S(2)D O K1=1,N D ID(K1,K1)=T E R M1E N D D OD O K1=2,N D IN2=K1-1D O K2=1,N2D(K1,K2)=P R O P S(1)D(K2,K1)=P R O P S(1)E N D D OE N D D OD E E=0.D O K1=1,N D IT E R M1=0.T E R M2=0.D O K2=1,N D IT E R M1=T E R M1+D(K1,K2)*S T R A N(K2)T E R M2=T E R M2+D(K1,K2)*D S T R A N(K2)E N D D OD E E=D E E+(T E R M1+.5*T E R M2)*D S T R A N(K1)E N D D OI1=N D ID O K1=1,N S H RI1=I1+1D E E=D E E+P R O P S(2)*(S T R A N(I1)+.5*D S T R A N(I1))*D S T R A N(I1)E N D D OS S E=S S E+D E ES C D=S C D+T D E– D E ER E T U R NE N D。
