What are the ways for calculation of curl of deformation gradient in ABAQUS ? Can somebody list some publications where it has been achieved or just name a few people who have done it?
You will have to write a USER DEFINED MATERIAL SUBROUTINE (call UMAT) to implement strain gradient plasticity in ABAQUS. Some publications where they have done the same are listed.
Article Modeling damage and fracture within strain-gradient plasticity
Article Analysis of Micro/Mesoscale Sheet Forming Process by Strain ...
