A One-Step Solution Technique for Elastic-Plastic Self-Similar Problems

Ståhle, P. LU (1986) In International Journal of Fracture 30(1). p.5-12
Abstract
At self-similarity the strain history is implicit in and deducible from the strain field at each instance of the loading process. This fact is taken advantage of in a FEM-technique which allows the load to be applied in one single step, only, even when the incremental theory of plastic flow has to be used.

Two self-similar problems are solved. Firstly an analytically solvable anti-plane strain crack problem is treated and the numerical one step solution is found to agree very well with the analytical one and significantly better than a step-by-step solution. Secondly a mode I crack problem for asymptotic small scale yielding in plane stress is examined. The result suggests that the plasticity correction for the crack length is... (More)
