The stress solution in plasticity with an associated or a non-associated flow rule is considered. Upon fully implicit integration of the relevant constitutive relations the stress is obtained as the projection of the (fictitious) elastic stress onto the yield surface for given values of the hardenin

✦ Synopsis
The paper presents the derivation of a fully implicit Newton algorithm for direct integration of constitutive equations, in extended stress-internal variable space, involving hardening or softening of a general dilatant isotropic elastoplastic geomaterial. All relevant derivatives are provided in tensor notation, thus facilitating implementation. The consistent, algorithmic tangent stiffness tensor is derived. The relative accuracy of a template algorithm is assessed on a number of examples by means of iso-error maps. We present a rather simple, one-increment example concerning convergence properties of the Newton iterative scheme at the global, finite element level, associated with the consistent tangent stiffness tensor for integrating the weak form of the equilibrium equations.

Constitutive relations in elastoplasticity may be formulated in a variety of ways, and different update algorithms may be employed to solve the resulting equations. Several implicit integration schemes, although some not widely used, have been suggested in the last years. Among them, the closest poi
A two-phase coupled elastoplastic-damage model proposed by Ortiz (Ortiz M. Mechanics of Materials 1985;4:67± 93) for modeling inelastic behavior of concrete is considered. For integration of anisotropic damage evolution equations an implicit integration scheme is proposed and the resulting nonlinear
This paper presents an assessment and comparison of boundary element method (BEM) formulations for elastoplasticity using both the consistent tangent operator (CTO) and the continuum tangent operator (CON). These operators are integrated into a single computational implementation using linear or qua
The finite element analysis of elastoplastic structures requires in general a time-stepping procedure and, in most cases, the integration of the constitutive law within each time-step has to be carried out by numerical integration. The error associated to this numerical integration depends on the de
