Abstract
Constitutive equations for viscoplasticity and creep are
expressed in terms of stress components, temperature and
internal variables. Resulting set of ordinary differential
equations of the first order under the guise of the finite
element method is integrated by the Euler forward scheme
with automatic subincrementation. The time step length
is set on the basis of a posteriori error estimate. Testing
examples were computed, including benchmark problems
introduced by Zienkiewicz and Cormeau. In all the
cases a perfect match between the converged step length
and the Cormeau formula for the critical time step was
observed. Element locking was removed with the aid of
reduced quadrature.
