This paper proposes a Stochastic Finite Element Method (SFEM) for non-linear elasto-plastic bodies, as a generalization of the SFEM for linear elastic bodies developed by Ghanem and Spanos who applied the Karhunen}Loeve expansion and the polynomial chaos expansion for stochastic material properties

## Abstract Advances in technology and interest in limit state design have made the inclusion of nonโlinear effects, such as elastoโplastic behaviour, desirable in the analysis of many structures. Improvements in solution algorithms coupled with parallel developments in high speed digital computers
A spaceยฑtime ยฎnite element method (STFEM) for elastoplastic dynamic analysis is proposed in this paper. A weak form of the governing equation which corresponds to the conservation of impulse-momentum (the shockmomentum equation) is established, based on which STFEM equations are derived. A family of
Two methods are presented for connecting dissimilar three-dimensional รฟnite element meshes. The รฟrst method combines the concept of master and slave surfaces with the uniform strain approach for รฟnite elements. By modifying the boundaries of elements on a slave surface, corrections are made to eleme
