Several explicit integration algorithms with self-adaptive time integration strategies are developed and investigated for efficiency and accuracy. These algorithms involve the Runge-Kutta second order, the lower Runge-Kutta method of orders one and two, and the exponential integration method. The al

✦ Synopsis
This paper deals with two main topics. The first one concerns the equivalence of stress algorithms, based on a Backward-Euler-step applied on viscoplastic models of Chaboche-type, and their elastoplastic counterpart. Generally, the stress algorithm yields a system of non-linear algebraic equations and the corresponding consistent tangent operator, occurring in the principle of virtual displacements, leads to a system of linear equations. This procedure can be obtained utilizing only numerical methods. The second topic concerns a special constitutive relation based on a kinematic hardening model using a sum of Armstrong/Frederick terms, which is equivalent to a multi-surface plasticity model. Applying this model a so-called problemadapted stress algorithm is derived, where only one non-linear equation must be solved. This result is independent of the number of terms in the hardening model. Furthermore, only the viscoplastic algorithm must be implemented, since it includes the elastoplastic constitutive model as a special case.
