| Abstract: | A totally implicit algorithm for plane stress multilayer plasticity is presented. The algorithm presents the plane stress version of the 3D/plane strain model for multilayer plasticity presented in a previous work. As in the 3D/plane strain case, the model is consistent with the principle of maximum dissipation and it may be considered as an extension of classical J2‐plasticity for anisotropic non‐linear kinematic behaviour preserving Masing's rules. In order to obtain the asymptotic second‐order convergence of the Newton algorithm, the consistent tangent moduli are also given. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
