Applications of Symmetric and Nonsymmetric MSSOR Preconditioners to Large-Scale Biot's Consolidation Problems with Nonassociated Plasticity

Two solution schemes are proposed and compared for large 3D soil consolidation problems with nonassociated plasticity. One solution scheme results in the nonsymmetric linear equations due to the Newton iteration, while the other leads to the symmetric linear systems due to the symmetrized stiffness...
