An Effective Computational Approach for the Numerical Simulation of Elasto-/Viscoplastic Solid Materials

The effects of different loading programs on the elasto-/viscoplastic behavior of rate-sensitive materials are analyzed with specific numerical examples. An appropriate solution scheme and a consistent tangent operator are applied which are capable of being adopted for general computational procedur...
