Abstract
An efficient computational strategy for modelling of cyclic
elastoplastic deformation of shell structures employing the
Reissner-Mindlin type kinematic model has been proposed. A
realistic highly nonlinear hardening model in multicomponent
form has been applied. The closest point
projection algorithm, completely formulated in tensor
notation, is presented. A consistent tangent modulus is
derived and its symmetrized form preserves the quadratic rate
of asymptotic convergence of the global iteration schemes, as
the numerical examples illustrate. The integration algorithm
has been implemented into the layered assumed strain
isoparametric finite element, which also permits the
simulation of geometrical nonlinearity including finite
rotations.
