Abstract
This paper presents a formulation of the static problem or
metallic solids undergoing both material and geometrical
non-linearities. The plastic constitutive relations are based
on the von Mises yield criterion with associated flow rule
and isotropic hardening. The plastic strains can be large.
The numerical approach is based on the Boundary Element
Method (BEM) but, since it is not possible to take all the
integrals to the boundary, both domain and boundary discretization
are needed. A material description is adopted
together with an Updated Lagrangian Approach. The generalised
midpoint algorithm is used for the computation of
the large scale plastic strains. The displacement gradients
are obtained, in order to avoid singularities. From polynomial
differentiation of the displacement field in each domain
element from the nodal values. The resulting method is
incremental and iterations are needed in each increment.
The two-dimensional plane strain case has been implemented
and one example is presented, to show the applicability of the
method proposed.
