Advanced applications of BEM to inelastic analysis of solidsNewly evolved boundary element solution algorithms are utilized for solving a range of elastoplastic and thermoplastic problems. The first algorithm is the typical iterative procedure in which the unknown boundary solution and the initial stress (or strain) rates are found together in an incremental iterative fashion. The second one is a variable stiffness type approach in which the incremental boundary solution is obtained in a direct (noniterative) manner. The third procedure differs from the two prior algorithms in that volume integration is not needed to incorporate the nonlinear effects in the analysis. Instead, initial stress rates are introduced in the boundary element system by way of particular integrals. The methodology is used in a general purpose, multiregion system that employs quadratic isoparametric shape functions to model the geometry and field variables of the body and can admit up to 15 substructured areas of different material properties.
