✦ Synopsis
The present paper is concerned with an ecient framework for a nonlinear ®nite element procedure for the numerical analysis of ®nite deformation elastic±plastic problems, based on a deformation theory of plasticity. Stress measures are related to Green's strains via a hyperelastic constitutive law based on a free energy potential function, whereas the plastic behavior is described using a von Mises yield condition and Nadai's deformation rule. The plastic strains and the current material properties are determined directly by a local Newton iteration procedure, and, furthermore, the development of a consistent elastic±plastic tangent operator will also be discussed. Finally, the solution of ®nite strain elastic±plastic boundary value problems is presented to demonstrate the eciency of the algorithm.

## Abstract A numerical method of the Newton‐Raphson type is presented for elasto‐plastic analysis using the finite element method. The method is developed from Nadai's deformation theory and Hooke's law. Numerical examples are used to show that the method provides very rapid solution convergence.
An application of the element-based Lagrangian formulation is described for large-deformation analysis of both single-layered and laminated shells. Natural co-ordinate-based stresses, strains and constitutive equations are used throughout the formulation of the present shell element which o ers sign
