✦ Synopsis
In the Eulerian description of metal forming operations usually rigid/incompressible viscoplastic material models are used. In this paper a quadrilateral 2-D finite-element formulation for incompressible viscoplastic flow analysis is developed. The element (QMITC) is based on mixed interpolation of tensorial components, and the incompressibility constraint is imposed via the penalty method. It is shown that the resulting element does not lock either in plane strain rate flows or in axisymmetric flows, that the oscillations in the pressure predictions (checkerboard) tend to zero when the mesh is refined and that the solutions for some typical benchmark problems are very accurate.
