Elasto-plastic finite element analysis with special reference to reinforced concrete

A numerical procedure is presented for the solution of elasto-plastic problems by means of the finite element approach. The incremental constitutive relationship from the Prandtl-Reuss equation is used in conjunction with the Von Mises yield criterion, the continuum being divided into triangular ele...
