INTRODUCTION
During the past decade there has been a effort to apply SPH (Smoothed
Particle Hydrodynamics) to the problem of high velocity impact. The superior
points of SPH for high velocity impact is that it is based on Lagrangian form and
is substantially one of meshless methods. SPH technique can easily be applied
to severe distortions and fragmentation process of impact bodies. However
there has been almost no study for applying SPH to the elastic-plastic large
deformation analysis of relatively low velocity contact problems. This paper
presents 2D and 3D elastic-plastic large deformation algorithms using SPH
method, where the Dp matrix method and the volume constant condition are
used for the plastic process of materials.

The foundation of SPH [1] is one of the interpolation technique. The equation of motion and the conservation laws of substance, in the form of partial

differential equations, are introduced into integral equations through the use
of an interpolation function (weight function) that gives the estimate of the
field variables at a point. In numerical process, information is given at discrete
points, so that the integrals are evaluated as summing over neighboring particles. Consider a function f and a kernel W which has a radius (support domain)
h, the kernel estimate is
f (x)
f (x ) W (x x , h) d x

As a typical weight function we used the spline function of three degrees. If
we identify (x )d x as the differential mass dm and make summation over
neighbouring particles, the discrete kernel estimate becomes

ANALYSIS

It is well known that the constitutive relation for elastic-plastic field varies
in regard to the strain rate. For high velocity impact Johnson and Cook [2] have
successfully described for a variety of materials.

The plastic flow regime is determined by the von Mises criterion and using
stress invariant the plastic constitutive model is described using Dp matrix.
{d } = [Dp ]{d}

The details of Dp matrix method is described in the standard FEM text book
[3]. In a particle method the evaluation of yield condition and the calculation
of strain components are executed at each particle position.

There are the growing demands for computing super large deformation of
materials in mold manufacturing techniques. Up to now the analysis has been
done by FEM, however the large deformation causes severe mesh distortion
in elements near the boundary, thereby dramatically reducing the stable time
increment during solution. Moreover rezoning and adaptive meshing technique
are necessary during FEM large deformation analysis.
On the other side particle methods are meshless techniques that no longer
use connectivity data, so users are free from the troublesome problems to decide
how frequently remeshing should be done and what method to use to map the
solution from the old mesh to the new mesh as the solution processes.
During the plastic deformations of metals under sufficiently low velocity
it is noted that the volume of the deformed material has been nearly constant
throughout the process. This is the typical feature of plastic flow theory and this
effect should be taken into account to the analysis of plastic large deformation
of metals.
