Numerical Simulation Series: Deformation Theory of Plasticity (DPT)
Abstract: In this edition of ESRD’s Numerical Simulation Series, the numerical simulation of small-strain elastic-plastic stress analysis problems based on the deformation theory of plasticity (DTP) is examined in detail. Highlights include:
- Formulation of the mathematical model of deformation theory of plasticity (DTP)
- Outline of the deformation theory of plasticity (DTP) solution algorithm
- Ultimate loading considerations
- Nonlinear springs
- Model problems.
