Finite Element Procedures for Large Strain Elastic-Plastic Theories

Published

Author(s)

Jonathan W. Lee

Abstract

In a unified approach, the virtual work equations in rate form and in incremental forms are derived rigorously for elastic-plastic continuum subjected to large strains. The finite element procedures for the analyses of elastic-plastic solid based on Lee's theory and the Green-Naghdi theory are presented. Also, it is shown that transformations can be performed among the Eulerian, the Total-Lagrangian, and the Updated-Lagrangian formulations, and among different forms of constitutive relations, without any approximation.
