A combined finite element boundary element method for the analysis of elastoplastic stress analysis is discussed in this paper. The merged technique utilizes the Regular indirect discrete method which has been modified to enable coupling of the two methods to be achieved and maximizes the advantages

โฆ Synopsis
Based on continuum damage mechanics (CDM), the paper presents a non-linear ยฎnite element formulation for a Timoshenko beam. A layered approach has been adopted to simulate the progressive growth of damage and plasticity from extreme ยฎbers towards the neutral axis. An isotropic continuum damage 1-D model has been derived for damage evolution for material like Al 2024-T3. Coupling damage with J 2 based plasticity, a coupled constitutive relation has been developed within the framework of the internal variable theory of thermodynamics. Incremental ยฎnite element analysis has been done on beams to predict the failure load based on the CDM criterion and the same has been veriยฎed based on the Sih's strain energy density criterion.

A contact finite element has been developed to solve elasto-plastic contact problems frequently encountered in metal forming processes. The element developed is based on the methodology originally used for solving elastic contact problems. It employs an interface spring algorithm that yields a symme
