Implicit Damping Iterative Algorithm to Solve Elastoplastic Static and Dynamic Equations

Box 2

Increment iterative scheme (II).
For the th iteration:
We assume that , and , then execute the iterative loops by (24):
① Compute the total strain increments , stresses , yield function value , and the other coefficients.
② Compute by (13) and (18). If is very small (e.g. <1), let equal a high number (e.g. ), then obtain
and by (24).
③ Determine the stress state: If , let .
④ Calculate the errors of and , and see if they satisfy the tolerance error requirement.
⑤ If not, repeat Steps  ①④, then conduct the th iteration, until achieving convergence.
