Abstract
This paper presents a review of different elastoplastic
Boundary Element (BE) formulations with particular emphasis
on two main approaches; the initial strain displacement-gradient
approach with its modelling of the partial or full
interior domain, and the particular integral approach which
can be applied exclusively to the surface avoiding any
modelling of the interior. The initial strain formulation is
implemented in a computer program using two-dimensional
isoparametric quadratic elements to discretise the boundary
curves and quadrilateral cells to discretise either the complete
interior domain or only the part associated with the plastic
region. The BE solutions are shown to be in good agreement
with analytical and Finite Element (FE) solutions.
