Abstract
We describe an algorithm to be used for the numerical integration of plasticity models in finite element or finite difference codes. The algorithm is simple to code and implement. It is presented here for a generic form of plasticity model encompassing both single and multiple yield surfaces, and it is readily adaptable to more complex models. Three examples are given to demonstrate the efficacy of the algorithm in controlling integration errors.
期刊介绍:
Archive of Applied Mechanics serves as a platform to communicate original research of scholarly value in all branches of theoretical and applied mechanics, i.e., in solid and fluid mechanics, dynamics and vibrations. It focuses on continuum mechanics in general, structural mechanics, biomechanics, micro- and nano-mechanics as well as hydrodynamics. In particular, the following topics are emphasised: thermodynamics of materials, material modeling, multi-physics, mechanical properties of materials, homogenisation, phase transitions, fracture and damage mechanics, vibration, wave propagation experimental mechanics as well as machine learning techniques in the context of applied mechanics.
