✦ Synopsis
In structural mechanics, nearly all the current computations for time dependent nonlinear problems (e.g. plasticity, viscoplasticity or damage) use step-by-step methods. In contrast, for small displacement problems, the large time incremental (LATIN) method, introduced by Lade&e [C.r. Acad.
Sci. Paris Ser. II 300,4144 (1985).], is an iterative method which accounts for the whole loading process in a single time increment which is not a priori limited. To give an idea of the step length, several loading cycles (or even several thousand) can be simulated in a single time increment. The performance of the method is Iexcellent in problems with many degrees of freedom or complicated loads [

The paper is concerned with the shape optimal design of a large displacement contact problem. Contact wilth the prescribed friction is assumed. The optimal design problem consists of finding the domain boundary in the contact zone to minimize the contact stress. The mixed finite element method is us
A practical method is presented for numerical analysis of problems in solid (in particular soil) mechanics which involve large strains or deformations. The method is similar to what is referred to as 'arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian', with simple infinitesimal strain incremental analysis combined with
An effective heuristic for determining plant locations and shipments to customers is described. It is assumed that there are a discrete number of possible locations and that the demand at each destination is a random variable. Thus the problem is to minimize expected holding and shortage costs, in a
