Abstract:

The paper presented a new method to implement the elastoplastic FEM analysis of softening materials by combining the algorithm of adaptive mesh generation with the algorithm of arc-length control procedures. The integration of elastoplasticity, arc-length control procedures and the algorithm of adaptive mesh generation were focused on. The flow chart of combining the algorithm of adaptive mesh generation with the algorithm of arc-length control procedures was offered. The numerical results confirm the efficiency of the present analysis method.

Key words: soften, integration of elastoplasticity, arc-length method, elastic-plastic, finite elements analysis
