This repository contains a material routine written in *Python* for the thermo-elasto-plastic Nonuniform Transformation Field Analysis (**ThermoNTFA**) submitted to _Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering_:

## Abstract
In engineering applications, surface modifications of materials can greatly influence the lifetime of parts and structures. For instance, laser melt injection (LMI) of ceramic particles into a metallic substrate can greatly improve abrasive resistance. The LMI process is challenging to model due to the rapid temperature changes, which induce high mechanical stresses. Ultimately, this leads to plastification and residual eigenstresses in particles and matrix. These depend on the process parameters. In order to predict these stresses, we propose a major extension of the Nonuniform Transformation Field Analysis that enables the method to cope with strongly varying thermo-elastic material parameters over a large temperature range (here: 300 to 1300K). The newly proposed $\theta$-NTFA method combines the NTFA with a Galerkin projection to solve for the self-equilibrated fields needed to gain the NTFA system matrices. For that, we exploit our recent thermo-elastic reduced order model [1] and extend it to allow for arbitrary polarization strains. An efficient implementation and a rigorous separation of the derivation of the reduced order model is proposed. The new $\theta$-NTFA is then validated for various thermo-mechanical loadings and in thermo-mechanical two-scale simulations.

## Documentation
The documentation of this software, including examples on how to use **ThermoNTFA**, can be found under [Documentation](https://DataAnalyticsEngineering.github.io/ThermoNTFA/).
## Features
- The **ThermoNTFA** acts as a reduced order model (ROM) and approximates the effective behavior of composite materials that consist of thermoelastic and thermoplastic constituents.
- The material parameters of all constituents are allowed to depend strongly on the temperature.
- This temperature-dependence is reflected in the ROM that is based on interpolated space-saving tabular data at arbitrarily many temperature points.
- Possible application: Eigenstress Analysis of Laser Dispersed Materials
## Workflow
### Offline phase: Training of the thermo-mechanical NTFA
1. Generate data using thermo-elasto-plastic simulations on the microscale at select temperatures $`\theta \in \mathcal{T}`$.
For that, we used an in-house FE solver. However, any other suitable simulation software could be used.
2. Compute a reduced basis consisting of plastic modes $`\underline{\underline{P}}_{\mathsf{p}}`$ via snapshot POD of the simulated plastic strain fields $`\{\varepsilon_\mathsf{p}(x | \theta)\}^n_{i=1}`$.
The corresponding implementation is available in our [AdaptiveThermoMechROM](https://github.com/DataAnalyticsEngineering/AdaptiveThermoMechROM) repository in the module [ntfa.py](https://github.com/DataAnalyticsEngineering/AdaptiveThermoMechROM/blob/ntfa/ntfa.py).
3. Perform additional linear-elastic simulations to determined self-equilibrated fields for the plastic modes $`\underline{\underline{P}}_\mathsf{p}`$ at select temperatures $`\theta \in \mathcal{T}`$.
Again, we used our in-house FE solver for that.
4. Based on the generated data at select temperatures $`\theta \in \mathcal{T}`$ we perform an interpolation to arbitrarily many intermediate temperatures $`\theta_j`$.
This method is published in our paper ["Reduced order homogenization of thermoelastic materials with strong temperature-dependence and comparison to a machine-learned model"](https://doi.org/10.1007/s00419-023-02411-6), where we show that it produces highly accurate results while the effort is almost on par with linear interpolation.
5. Using the interpolated data, the NTFA system matrices $`\underline{\underline{A}}(\theta_j)`$, $`\underline{\underline{D}}(\theta_j)`$, $`\bar{\underline{\underline{C}}}(\theta_j)`$, $`\underline{\tau}_{\mathrm{\theta}}(\theta_j)`$, and $`\underline{\tau}_{\mathsf{p}}(\theta_j)`$ are computed and stored as tabular data.
The corresponding implementation is available in our [AdaptiveThermoMechROM](https://github.com/DataAnalyticsEngineering/AdaptiveThermoMechROM) repository in the module [ntfa.py](https://github.com/DataAnalyticsEngineering/AdaptiveThermoMechROM/blob/ntfa/ntfa.py).
### Online phase: Usage of the thermo-mechanical NTFA in simulations on the macroscale
1. Load the tabular data for the NTFA matrices $`\underline{\underline{A}}(\theta_j)`$, $`\underline{\underline{D}}(\theta_j)`$, $`\bar{\underline{\underline{C}}}(\theta_j)`$, $`\underline{\tau}_{\mathrm{\theta}}(\theta_j)`$, and $`\underline{\tau}_{\mathsf{p}}(\theta_j)`$ that are generated in the offline phase based on direct numerical simulations on the microscale.
Optionally truncate the NTFA modes $`N_{\mathrm{modes}}`$ to be used.
2. Perform a linear interpolation to determine the NTFA matrices at the current model temperature based on the tabular data.
Given that the tabular data is available at sufficiently many temperatures, the linear interpolation provides results with decent accuracy.
This is done using the class [`thermontfa.TabularInterpolation`](https://github.com/DataAnalyticsEngineering/ThermoNTFA/blob/main/thermontfa/tabular_interpolation.py).
3. Use the tabular data to initialize the thermo-mechanical NTFA UMAT that is implemented in the class [`thermontfa.ThermoMechNTFA`](https://github.com/DataAnalyticsEngineering/ThermoNTFA/blob/main/thermontfa/thermoNTFA.py).
This reference implementation in Python can be transcribed to an UMAT for other academic or commercial simulation softwares.
The numerical experiments in our paper are conducted using an implementation of the thermo-mechanical NTFA UMAT in C++ for an in-house FE solver.
