Abstract
The present paper introduces a highly efficient numerical
simulation strategy for the analysis of elasto-plastic shell
structures. An isoparametric Finite Element, based on a Finite
Rotation Reissner-Mindlin shell theory in isoparametric formulation,
is enhanced by a Layered Approach for a realistic
simulation of nonlinear material behaviour. A general material
model including isotropic hardening effects is embedded
into each material point. A new, highly accurate integration
scheme is combined with consistently linearized constitutive
relations in order to achieve quadratic rate of convergence. A
global Riks-Wempner-Wessels iteration scheme enhanced by
a linear Line-Search procedure has been used to trace arbitrary
deformation paths. Numerical examples show the efficiency
of the present concept.
