Time integration schemes for piecewise linear plasticity

The formulation of a generalized trapezoidal rule for the integration of the constitutive equations for a convex elastic-plastic solid is presented. This rule, which is based on an internal variable description, is consistent with a generalized trapezoidal rule for creep. It is shown that by suitabl...
