The purpose of the present work is to provide new insights in the understanding and computational modeling of shock-induced metal-on-metal dry friction. Based on a multiscale approach, we develop herein a 1D finite difference subgrid model. To adequately describe the physics of dynamic friction under shockinduced conditions, it accounts for frictional contact, elastoplastic yielding and work hardening, heating by friction and plastic work, thermal softening and melting, as well as dynamics effects. Temperature and dynamic elastoplasticity are predicted at a local scale through a nonlinear time implicit numerical solver. Two strategies have been considered for the coupling of the subgrid model to a standard thermoelastoplastic macroscopic model. The first one is velocity driven. Its implementation is rather straightforward, it leads to correct qualitative results but is restricted to sliding situations. To account for stick-slip cases, a second force driven downscaling strategy has been developed.

Abstract. This article is aimed at the developpement of a new model for friction under shock conditions. Thanks to a subgrid model and a specific Coulomb friction law, it takes into account the interface temperature and deformation but also the influence of asperities when the contact pressure is relatively low (≤3 GPa).

Abstract. It has been proved that plastic instabilities in biaxial stretching conditions were better reproduced by using a Tresca yield surface rather than a Von Mises one. The simulation of the phenomenon in an expanding TA6V4 (Ti-6Al-4V alloy) shell experiment is performed using the Tresca criterion and both elasto-plastic and viscoplastic constitutive models: in this aim, Tresca flow surfaces had to be defined in viscoplasticity. The two models exhibit localization but, whereas the elastoplastic case develops shear banding in times in agreement with the onset of instabilities in the experiment, the viscoplastic case develops diffuse necking at later times. On the contrary, the viscoplastic simulation exhibits patterns the size of which seems in better agreement with the experimental ones.
