Abstract
We present a mixed wavelet-Galerkin approach for the numerical
solution of elastoplasticity problems in the presence
of softening. This kind of problems is characterised by the so
called loss-of-ellipticity that is responsible for the localisation
of deformations on a scale that is order-of-magnitude smaller
than the overall scale of the system. The presence of two scales
makes wavelet bases, i.e. an inherently multiscale tool, a natural
candidate for the solution. Furthermore, the extensions
needed to make the algorithm self-adaptive are highlighted in
view of a near-future presentation.
