Summary
In this paper we refer to numerical integration procedures for boundary value problems in elasto-viscoplastic solids. A numerical approach is pursued by connecting the viscoplastic equipotential surface with the viscoplastic multiplier. An implicit backward difference method is proposed which is suitable for application to different constitutivemodels and to arbitrary yield criteria. A consistent tangent operator well suited for applications to different constitutivemodels and arbitrary yield criteria is also adopted as associated to the proposed numerical solution algorithm. Computational results and numerical examples are finally reported which illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the algorithmic procedure.
