Plasticity of Mohr-Coulomb with apex-smoothing (JAX)#

This tutorial aims to demonstrate how modern automatic algorithmic differentiation (AD) techniques may be used to define a complex constitutive model demanding a lot of by-hand differentiation. In particular, we implement the non-associative plasticity model of Mohr-Coulomb with apex-smoothing applied to a slope stability problem for soil. We use the JAX package to define constitutive relations including the differentiation of certain terms and FEMExternalOperator class to incorporate this model into a weak formulation within UFL.

The tutorial is based on the limit analysis within semi-definite programming framework, where the plasticity model was replaced by the MFront/TFEL implementation of the Mohr-Coulomb elastoplastic model with apex smoothing.

Problem formulation#

We solve a slope stability problem of a soil domain \(\Omega\) represented by a rectangle \([0; L] \times [0; W]\) with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions for the displacement field \(\boldsymbol{u} = \boldsymbol{0}\) on the right side \(x = L\) and the bottom one \(z = 0\). The loading consists of a gravitational body force \(\boldsymbol{q}=[0, -\gamma]^T\) with \(\gamma\) being the soil self-weight. The solution of the problem is to find the collapse load \(q_\text{lim}\), for which we know an analytical solution in the case of the standard Mohr-Coulomb model without smoothing under plane strain assumption for associative plastic law [Chen and Liu, 1990]. Here we follow the same Mandel-Voigt notation as in the von Mises plasticity tutorial.

If \(V\) is a functional space of admissible displacement fields, then we can write out a weak formulation of the problem:

Find \(\boldsymbol{u} \in V\) such that

\[ F(\boldsymbol{u}; \boldsymbol{v}) = \int\limits_\Omega \boldsymbol{\sigma}(\boldsymbol{u}) \cdot \boldsymbol{\varepsilon}(\boldsymbol{v}) \, \mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{x} - \int\limits_\Omega \boldsymbol{q} \cdot \boldsymbol{v} \, \mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{x} = \boldsymbol{0}, \quad \forall \boldsymbol{v} \in V, \]

where \(\boldsymbol{\sigma}\) is an external operator representing the stress tensor.

Note

Although the tutorial shows the implementation of the Mohr-Coulomb model, it is quite general to be adapted to a wide rage of plasticity models that may be defined through a yield surface and a plastic potential.

Defining plasticity model and external operator#

The constitutive model of the soil is described by a non-associative plasticity law without hardening that is defined by the Mohr-Coulomb yield surface \(f\) and the plastic potential \(g\). Both quantities may be expressed through the following function \(h\)

\[\begin{align*} & h(\boldsymbol{\sigma}, \alpha) = \frac{I_1(\boldsymbol{\sigma})}{3}\sin\alpha + \sqrt{J_2(\boldsymbol{\sigma}) K^2(\alpha) + a^2(\alpha)\sin^2\alpha} - c\cos\alpha, \\ & f(\boldsymbol{\sigma}) = h(\boldsymbol{\sigma}, \phi), \\ & g(\boldsymbol{\sigma}) = h(\boldsymbol{\sigma}, \psi), \end{align*}\]

where \(\phi\) and \(\psi\) are friction and dilatancy angles, \(c\) is a cohesion, \(I_1(\boldsymbol{\sigma}) = \mathrm{tr} \boldsymbol{\sigma}\) is the first invariant of the stress tensor and \(J_2(\boldsymbol{\sigma}) = \frac{1}{2}\boldsymbol{s} \cdot \boldsymbol{s}\) is the second invariant of the deviatoric part of the stress tensor. The expression of the coefficient \(K(\alpha)\) may be found in the MFront/TFEL implementation of this plastic model.

During the plastic loading the stress-strain state of the solid must satisfy the following system of nonlinear equations

(5)#\[\begin{split} \begin{cases} \boldsymbol{r}_{g}(\boldsymbol{\sigma}_{n+1}, \Delta\lambda) = \boldsymbol{\sigma}_{n+1} - \boldsymbol{\sigma}_n - \boldsymbol{C} \cdot (\Delta\boldsymbol{\varepsilon} - \Delta\lambda \frac{\mathrm{d} g}{\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{\sigma}}(\boldsymbol{\sigma_{n+1}})) = \boldsymbol{0}, \\ r_f(\boldsymbol{\sigma}_{n+1}) = f(\boldsymbol{\sigma}_{n+1}) = 0, \end{cases}\end{split}\]

where \(\Delta\) is associated with increments of a quantity between the next loading step \(n + 1\) and the current loading step \(n\).

By introducing the residual vector \(\boldsymbol{r} = [\boldsymbol{r}_{g}^T, r_f]^T\) and its argument vector \(\boldsymbol{y}_{n+1} = [\boldsymbol{\sigma}_{n+1}^T, \Delta\lambda]^T\), we obtain the following nonlinear constitutive equation:

\[ \boldsymbol{r}(\boldsymbol{y}_{n+1}) = \boldsymbol{0}. \]

To solve this equation we apply the Newton method and introduce the local Jacobian of the residual vector \(\boldsymbol{j} := \frac{\mathrm{d} \boldsymbol{r}}{\mathrm{d} \boldsymbol{y}}\). Thus we solve the following linear system at each quadrature point for the plastic phase

\[\begin{split} \begin{cases} \boldsymbol{j}(\boldsymbol{y}_{n})\boldsymbol{t} = - \boldsymbol{r}(\boldsymbol{y}_{n}), \\ \boldsymbol{x}_{n+1} = \boldsymbol{x}_n + \boldsymbol{t}. \end{cases} \end{split}\]

During the elastic loading, we consider a trivial system of equations

(6)#\[\begin{split} \begin{cases} \boldsymbol{\sigma}_{n+1} = \boldsymbol{\sigma}_n + \boldsymbol{C} \cdot \Delta\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}, \\ \Delta\lambda = 0. \end{cases} \end{split}\]

The algorithm solving the systems (5)–(6) is called the return-mapping procedure and the solution defines the return-mapping correction of the stress tensor. By implementation of the external operator \(\boldsymbol{\sigma}\) we mean the implementation of this algorithmic procedure.

The automatic differentiation tools of the JAX library are applied to calculate the three distinct derivatives:

  1. \(\frac{\mathrm{d} g}{\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{\sigma}}\) - derivative of the plastic potential \(g\),

  2. \(j = \frac{\mathrm{d} \boldsymbol{r}}{\mathrm{d} \boldsymbol{y}}\) - derivative of the local residual \(\boldsymbol{r}\),

  3. \(\boldsymbol{C}_\text{tang} = \frac{\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{\sigma}}{\mathrm{d}\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}}\) - stress tensor derivative or consistent tangent moduli.

Defining yield surface and plastic potential#

First of all, we define supplementary functions that help us to express the yield surface \(f\) and the plastic potential \(g\). In the following definitions, we use built-in functions of the JAX package, in particular, the conditional primitive jax.lax.cond. It is necessary for the correct work of the AD tool and just-in-time compilation. For more details, please, visit the JAX documentation.

Solving constitutive equations#

In this section, we define the constitutive model by solving the systems (5)–(6). They must be solved at each Gauss point, so we apply the Newton method, implement the whole algorithm locally and then vectorize the final result using jax.vmap.

In the following cell, we define locally the residual \(\boldsymbol{r}\) and its Jacobian drdy.

lmbda = E * nu / ((1.0 + nu) * (1.0 - 2.0 * nu))
mu = E / (2.0 * (1.0 + nu))

    [
        [lmbda + 2 * mu, lmbda, lmbda, 0],
        [lmbda, lmbda + 2 * mu, lmbda, 0],
        [lmbda, lmbda, lmbda + 2 * mu, 0],
        [0, 0, 0, 2 * mu],
    ],

    res = jnp.c_["0,1,-1", res_g, res_f]  # concatenates an array and a scalar
    return res


drdy = jax.jacfwd(r)

Then we define the function return_mapping that implements the return-mapping algorithm numerically via the Newton method.

Consistent tangent stiffness matrix#

Not only is the automatic differentiation able to compute the derivative of a mathematical expression but also a numerical algorithm. For instance, AD can calculate the derivative of the function performing return-mapping with respect to its output, the stress tensor \(\boldsymbol{\sigma}\). In the context of the consistent tangent moduli \(\boldsymbol{C}_\text{tang}\), this feature becomes very useful, as there is no need to write an additional program computing the stress derivative.

JAX’s AD tool permits taking the derivative of the function return_mapping, which is factually the while loop. The derivative is taken with respect to the first output and the remaining outputs are used as auxiliary data. Thus, the derivative dsigma_ddeps returns both values of the consistent tangent moduli and the stress tensor, so there is no need in a supplementary computation of the stress tensor.

dsigma_ddeps = jax.jacfwd(return_mapping, has_aux=True)

Defining external operator#

Once we define the function dsigma_ddeps, which evaluates both the external operator and its derivative locally, we can simply vectorize it and define the final implementation of the external operator derivative.

Note

The function dsigma_ddeps containing a while_loop is designed to be called at a single Gauss point that’s why we need to vectorize it for the all points of our functional space S. For this purpose we use the vmap function of JAX. It creates another while_loop, which terminates only when all mapped loops terminate. Find further details in this discussion.

dsigma_ddeps_vec = jax.jit(jax.vmap(dsigma_ddeps, in_axes=(0, 0)))


def C_tang_impl(deps):
    deps_ = deps.reshape((-1, stress_dim))
    sigma_n_ = sigma_n.x.array.reshape((-1, stress_dim))

    (C_tang_global, state) = dsigma_ddeps_vec(deps_, sigma_n_)
    sigma_global, niter, yielding, norm_res, _dlambda = state

    unique_iters, counts = jnp.unique(niter, return_counts=True)

    if MPI.COMM_WORLD.rank == 0:
        print("\tInner Newton summary:")
        print(f"\t\tUnique number of iterations: {unique_iters}")

        print(f"\t\tMaximum residual: {jnp.max(norm_res)}")

    return C_tang_global.reshape(-1), sigma_global.reshape(-1)

Similarly to the von Mises example, we do not implement explicitly the evaluation of the external operator. Instead, we obtain its values during the evaluation of its derivative and then update the values of the operator in the main Newton loop.

def sigma_external(derivatives):
    if derivatives == (1,):

Variables initialization and compilation#

Before solving the problem we have to initialize values of the stiffness matrix, as it requires for the system assembling. During the first loading step, we expect an elastic response only, so it’s enough to solve the constitutive equations for a relatively small displacement field at each Gauss point. This results in initializing the consistent tangent moduli with elastic ones.

Du.x.array[:] = 1.0
sigma_n.x.array[:] = 0.0

Solving the problem#

Similarly to the von Mises tutorial, we use NonlinearProblem to solve the global problem with SNES. To enable the external operators update at each iteration of SNES before the vector and matrix assembly, we wrote a simple wrapper assemble_residual_with_callback.

Slope stability factor: 6.663768115942029

Verification#

Critical load#

According to Chen and Liu [1990], we can derive analytically the slope stability factor \(l_\text{lim}\) for the standard Mohr-Coulomb plasticity model (without apex smoothing) under plane strain assumption for associative plastic flow

\[ l_\text{lim} = \gamma_\text{lim} H/c, \]

where \(\gamma_\text{lim}\) is an associated value of the soil self-weight. In particular, for the rectangular slope with the friction angle \(\phi\) equal to \(30^\circ\), \(l_\text{lim} = 6.69\) [Chen and Liu, 1990]. Thus, by computing \(\gamma_\text{lim}\) from the formula above, we can progressively increase the second component of the gravitational body force \(\boldsymbol{q}=[0, -\gamma]^T\), up to the critical value \(\gamma_\text{lim}^\text{num}\), when the perfect plasticity plateau is reached on the loading-displacement curve at the \((0, H)\) point and then compare \(\gamma_\text{lim}^\text{num}\) against analytical \(\gamma_\text{lim}\).

By demonstrating the loading-displacement curve on the figure below we approve that the yield strength limit reached for \(\gamma_\text{lim}^\text{num}\) is close to \(\gamma_\text{lim}\).

if len(points_on_process) > 0:
    l_lim = 6.69
    gamma_lim = l_lim / H * c

We verify that the constitutive model is correctly implemented by tracing the yield surface. We generate several stress paths and check whether they remain within the Mohr-Coulomb yield surface. The stress tracing is performed in the Haigh-Westergaard coordinates \((\xi, \rho, \theta)\) which are defined as follows

\[ \xi = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}I_1, \quad \rho = \sqrt{2J_2}, \quad \sin(3\theta) = -\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \frac{J_3}{J_2^{3/2}}, \]

where \(J_3(\boldsymbol{\sigma}) = \det(\boldsymbol{s})\) is the third invariant of the deviatoric part of the stress tensor, \(\xi\) is the deviatoric coordinate, \(\rho\) is the radial coordinate and the angle \(\theta \in [-\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{6}]\) is called Lode or stress angle.

To generate the stress paths we use the principal stresses formula written in Haigh-Westergaard coordinates as follows

\[\begin{split} \begin{pmatrix} \sigma_{I} \\ \sigma_{II} \\ \sigma_{III} \end{pmatrix} = p \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + \frac{\rho}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} \cos\theta + \frac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{3}} \\ -\frac{2\sin\theta}{\sqrt{3}} \\ \frac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{3}} - \cos\theta \end{pmatrix}, \end{split}\]

where \(p = \xi/\sqrt{3}\) is a hydrostatic variable and \(\sigma_{I} \geq \sigma_{II} \geq \sigma_{III}\).

Now we generate the loading path by evaluating principal stresses in Haigh-Westergaard coordinates for the Lode angle \(\theta\) being varied from \(-\frac{\pi}{6}\) to \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) with fixed \(\rho\) and \(p\).

N_angles = 50
N_loads = 9  # number of loadings or paths
eps = 0.00001
R = 0.7  # fix the values of rho
p = 0.1  # fix the deviatoric coordinate
theta_1 = -np.pi / 6
theta_2 = np.pi / 6

theta_values = np.linspace(theta_1 + eps, theta_2 - eps, N_angles)
theta_returned = np.empty((N_loads, N_angles))
rho_returned = np.empty((N_loads, N_angles))
sigma_returned = np.empty((N_loads, N_angles, stress_dim))

# fix an increment of the stress path
dsigma_path = np.zeros((N_angles, stress_dim))
dsigma_path[:, 0] = (R / np.sqrt(2)) * (np.cos(theta_values) + np.sin(theta_values) / np.sqrt(3))
dsigma_path[:, 1] = (R / np.sqrt(2)) * (-2 * np.sin(theta_values) / np.sqrt(3))
dsigma_path[:, 2] = (R / np.sqrt(2)) * (np.sin(theta_values) / np.sqrt(3) - np.cos(theta_values))

sigma_n_local = np.zeros_like(dsigma_path)
sigma_n_local[:, 0] = p
sigma_n_local[:, 1] = p
sigma_n_local[:, 2] = p
derviatoric_axis = tr

Then, we define and vectorize functions rho, Lode_angle and sigma_tracing evaluating respectively the coordinates \(\rho\), \(\theta\) and the corrected (or “returned”) stress tensor for a certain stress state. sigma_tracing calls the function return_mapping, where the constitutive model was defined via JAX previously.

def rho(sigma_local):
    s = dev @ sigma_local
    return jnp.sqrt(2.0 * J2(s))


def Lode_angle(sigma_local):
    s = dev @ sigma_local
    arg = -(3.0 * jnp.sqrt(3.0) * J3(s)) / (2.0 * jnp.sqrt(J2(s) * J2(s) * J2(s)))
    arg = jnp.clip(arg, -1.0, 1.0)
    angle = 1.0 / 3.0 * jnp.arcsin(arg)
    return angle


def sigma_tracing(sigma_local, sigma_n_local):
    deps_elas = S_elas @ sigma_local
    sigma_corrected, state = return_mapping(deps_elas, sigma_n_local)
    yielding = state[2]
    return sigma_corrected, yielding


Lode_angle_v = jax.jit(jax.vmap(Lode_angle, in_axes=(0)))
rho_v = jax.jit(jax.vmap(rho, in_axes=(0)))
sigma_tracing_v = jax.jit(jax.vmap(sigma_tracing, in_axes=(0, 0)))

For each stress path, we call the function sigma_tracing_v to get the corrected stress state and then we project it onto the deviatoric plane \((\rho, \theta)\) with a fixed value of \(p\).

for i in range(N_loads):
    print(f"Loading path#{i}")
    dsigma, yielding = sigma_tracing_v(dsigma_path, sigma_n_local)
    dp = dsigma @ tr / 3.0 - p
    dsigma -= np.outer(dp, derviatoric_axis)  # projection on the same deviatoric plane

    sigma_returned[i, :] = dsigma
    theta_returned[i, :] = Lode_angle_v(dsigma)
    rho_returned[i, :] = rho_v(dsigma)
    print(f"max f: {jnp.max(yielding)}\n")
    sigma_n_local[:] = dsigma
Loading path#0
max f: -2.005661796528811

max f: 0.6673099640326825

Loading path#8
max f: 0.6947128480833951

Then, by knowing the expression of the standrad Mohr-Coulomb yield surface in principle stresses, we can obtain an analogue expression in Haigh-Westergaard coordinates, which leads us to the following equation:

(7)#\[ \frac{\rho}{\sqrt{6}}(\sqrt{3}\cos\theta + \sin\phi \sin\theta) - p\sin\phi - c\cos\phi= 0. \]

Thus, we restore the standard Mohr-Coulomb yield surface:

def MC_yield_surface(theta_, p):
    """Restores the coordinate `rho` satisfying the standard Mohr-Coulomb yield
    criterion."""
    rho = (np.sqrt(2) * (c * np.cos(phi) + p * np.sin(phi))) / (
        np.cos(theta_) - np.sin(phi) * np.sin(theta_) / np.sqrt(3)
    )
    return rho


rho_standard_MC = MC_yield_surface(theta_values, p)

Finally, we plot the yield surface:

colormap = cm.plasma
colors = colormap(np.linspace(0.0, 1.0, N_loads))

fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw={"projection": "polar"}, figsize=(8, 8))
# Mohr-Coulomb yield surface with apex smoothing
for i, color in enumerate(colors):
    rho_total = np.array([])
    theta_total = np.array([])
    for j in range(12):
        angles = j * np.pi / 3 - j % 2 * theta_returned[i] + (1 - j % 2) * theta_returned[i]
        theta_total = np.concatenate([theta_total, angles])
        rho_total = np.concatenate([rho_total, rho_returned[i]])

    ax.plot(theta_total, rho_total, ".", color=color)

# standard Mohr-Coulomb yield surface
theta_standard_MC_total = np.array([])
rho_standard_MC_total = np.array([])
for j in range(12):
    angles = j * np.pi / 3 - j % 2 * theta_values + (1 - j % 2) * theta_values
    theta_standard_MC_total = np.concatenate([theta_standard_MC_total, angles])
    rho_standard_MC_total = np.concatenate([rho_standard_MC_total, rho_standard_MC])
ax.plot(theta_standard_MC_total, rho_standard_MC_total, "-", color="black")
ax.set_yticklabels([])

norm = mcolors.Normalize(vmin=0.1, vmax=0.7 * 9)
sm = plt.cm.ScalarMappable(cmap=colormap, norm=norm)
sm.set_array([])
cbar = fig.colorbar(sm, ax=ax, orientation="vertical")
cbar.set_label(r"Magnitude of the stress path deviator, $\rho$ [MPa]")

Each colour represents one loading path. The circles are associated with the loading during the elastic phase. Once the loading reaches the elastic limit, the circles start outlining the yield surface, which in the limit lay along the standard Mohr-Coulomb one without smoothing (black contour).

Taylor test#

Here, we perform a Taylor test to check that the form \(F\) and its Jacobian \(J\) are consistent zeroth- and first-order approximations of the residual \(F\). In particular, the test verifies that the program dsigma_ddeps_vec obtained by the JAX’s AD returns correct values of the external operator \(\boldsymbol{\sigma}\) and its derivative \(\boldsymbol{C}_\text{tang}\), which define \(F\) and \(J\) respectively.

To perform the test, we introduce the operators \(\mathcal{F}: V \rightarrow V^\prime\) and \(\mathcal{J}: V \rightarrow \mathcal{L}(V, V^\prime)\) defined as follows:

\[ \langle \mathcal{F}(\boldsymbol{u}), \boldsymbol{v} \rangle := F(\boldsymbol{u}; \boldsymbol{v}), \quad \forall \boldsymbol{v} \in V, \]
\[ \langle (\mathcal{J}(\boldsymbol{u}))(k\boldsymbol{\delta u}), \boldsymbol{v} \rangle := J(\boldsymbol{u}; k\boldsymbol{\delta u}, \boldsymbol{v}), \quad \forall \boldsymbol{v} \in V, \]

where \(V^\prime\) is a dual space of \(V\), \(\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle\) is the \(V^\prime \times V\) duality pairing and \(\mathcal{L}(V, V^\prime)\) is a space of bounded linear operators from \(V\) to its dual.

Then, by following the Taylor’s theorem on Banach spaces and perturbating the functional \(\mathcal{F}\) in the direction \(k \, \boldsymbol{δu} \in V\) for \(k > 0\), the zeroth and first order Taylor reminders \(r_k^0\) and \(r_k^1\) have the following mesh-independent convergence rates in the dual space \(V^\prime\):

(8)#\[ \| r_k^0 \|_{V^\prime} := \| \mathcal{F}(\boldsymbol{u} + k \, \boldsymbol{\delta u}) - \mathcal{F}(\boldsymbol{u}) \|_{V^\prime} \longrightarrow 0 \text{ at } O(k), \]
(9)#\[ \| r_k^1 \|_{V^\prime} := \| \mathcal{F}(\boldsymbol{u} + k \, \boldsymbol{\delta u}) - \mathcal{F}(\boldsymbol{u}) - \, (\mathcal{J}(\boldsymbol{u}))(k\boldsymbol{\delta u}) \|_{V^\prime} \longrightarrow 0 \text{ at } O(k^2). \]

In order to compute the norm of an element \(f \in V^\prime\) from the dual space \(V^\prime\), we apply the Riesz representation theorem, which states that there is a linear isometric isomorphism \(\mathcal{R} : V^\prime \to V\), which associates a linear functional \(f\) with a unique element \(\mathcal{R} f = \boldsymbol{u} \in V\). In practice, within a finite subspace \(V_h \subset V\), the Riesz map \(\mathcal{R}\) is represented by the matrix \(\mathsf{L}^{-1}\), the inverse of the Laplacian operator [Kirby, 2010]

\[ \mathsf{L}_{ij} = \int\limits_\Omega \nabla\varphi_i \cdot \nabla\varphi_j \mathrm{d} x , \quad i,j = 1, \dots, n, \]

where \(\{\varphi_i\}_{i=1}^{\dim V_h}\) is a set of basis function of the space \(V_h\).

If the Euclidean vectors \(\mathsf{r}_k^i \in \mathbb{R}^{\dim V_h}, \, i \in \{0,1\}\) represent the Taylor remainders from (8)–(9) in the finite space, then the dual norms are computed through the following formula [Kirby, 2010]

(10)#\[ \| r_k^i \|^2_{V^\prime_h} = (\mathsf{r}_k^i)^T \mathsf{L}^{-1} \mathsf{r}_k^i, \quad i \in \{0,1\}. \]

In practice, the vectors \(\mathsf{r}_k^i\) are defined through the residual vector \(\mathsf{F} \in \mathbb{R}^{\dim V_h}\) and the Jacobian matrix \(\mathsf{J} \in \mathbb{R}^{\dim V_h\times\dim V_h}\)

(11)#\[ \mathsf{r}_k^0 = \mathsf{F}(\mathsf{u} + k \, \mathsf{\delta u}) - \mathsf{F}(\mathsf{u}) \in \mathbb{R}^n, \]
(12)#\[ \mathsf{r}_k^1 = \mathsf{F}(\mathsf{u} + k \, \mathsf{\delta u}) - \mathsf{F}(\mathsf{u}) - \, \mathsf{J}(\mathsf{u}) \cdot k\mathsf{\delta u} \in \mathbb{R}^n, \]

where \(\mathsf{u} \in \mathbb{R}^{\dim V_h}\) and \(\mathsf{\delta u} \in \mathbb{R}^{\dim V_h}\) represent dispacement fields \(\boldsymbol{u} \in V_h\) and \(\boldsymbol{\delta u} \in V_h\).

Now we can proceed with the Taylor test implementation. Let us first start with defining the Laplace operator.

L_form = fem.form(ufl.inner(ufl.grad(u_hat), ufl.grad(v)) * ufl.dx)
L = fem.petsc.assemble_matrix(L_form, bcs=bcs)
L.assemble()
Riesz_solver = PETSc.KSP().create(domain.comm)
Riesz_solver.setType("preonly")
Riesz_solver.getPC().setType("lu")
Riesz_solver.setOperators(L)
y = fem.Function(V, name="Riesz_representer_of_r")  # r - a Taylor remainder

Now we initialize main variables of the plasticity problem.

# Reset main variables to zero including the external operators values
sigma_n.x.array[:] = 0.0
sigma.ref_coefficient.x.array[:] = 0.0
J_external_operators[0].ref_coefficient.x.array[:] = 0.0
# Reset the values of the consistent tangent matrix to elastic moduli
Du.x.array[:] = 1.0
evaluated_operands = evaluate_operands(F_external_operators)
_ = evaluate_external_operators(J_external_operators, evaluated_operands)

		Maximum f: -2.2109628558533108
		Maximum residual: 0.0

As the derivatives of the constitutive model are different for elastic and plastic phases, we must consider two initial states for the Taylor test. For this reason, we solve the problem once for a certain loading value to get the initial state close to the one with plastic deformations but still remain in the elastic phase.

i = 0
load = 2.0
q.value = load * np.array([0, -gamma])
Du.x.array[:] = 1e-8

if MPI.COMM_WORLD.rank == 0:
    print(f"Load increment #{i}, load: {load}")

problem.solve()

u.x.scatter_forward()

sigma_n.x.array[:] = sigma.ref_coefficient.x.array

If we take into account the initial stress state sigma_n0 computed in the cell above, we perform the Taylor test for the plastic phase, otherwise we stay in the elastic one.

Finally, we define the function perform_Taylor_test, which returns the norms of the Taylor reminders in dual space (10)–(12).

For the elastic phase (a) the zeroth-order Taylor remainder \(r_k^0\) achieves the first-order convergence rate, whereas the first-order remainder \(r_k^1\) is computed at the level of machine precision due to the constant Jacobian. Similarly to the elastic flow, the zeroth-order Taylor remainder \(r_k^0\) of the plastic phase (b) reaches the first-order convergence, whereas the first-order remainder \(r_k^1\) achieves the second-order convergence rate, as expected.
