Abstract

The basic constitutive relations for elastoplasticity and elastoviscoplasticity are shown to form a typical boundary layer-type stiff system of ordinary differential equations. Three numerical algorithms are discussed: (i) The singular perturbation method (O'Malley, 1971a, b; Hoppensteadt, 1971; Miranker, 1981; Smith, 1985), which yields accurate results for both the rate-independent and rate-dependent cases, where in the former case, the algorithm is explicit, whereas in the latter case, it is implicit and requires the solution of a nonlinear equation; therefore it is impractical as a constitutive algorithm for large-scale finite-element applications, where the constitutive algorithm is used a great number of times at each finite-element node. (ii) The new constitutive algorithm (Nemat-Nasser, 1991; Nemat-Nasser & Chung, 1989, 1992) which is explicit and accurate for both the rate-independent and rate-dependent cases; the underlying mathematical feature of this new method is investigated, and it is shown that it can be classified as a simplified perturbation method; computable error bounds for this algorithm are obtained, and when the flow rule is given by the commonly used power law, it is shown that the errors are very small, (iii) A modified outer-solution method, which combines the above two techniques, and is simple, explicit, and accurate.
