On the accuracies of numerical integration algorithms for Gurson-based pressure-dependent elastoplastic constitutive models (Q1913224)

A class of generalized mid-point algorithms for pressure-dependent elastoplastic models is formulated. The accuracies of the formulated generalized mid-point algorithms including the Euler backward algorithm and the one-step Euler forward algorithm are systematically analyzed against the exact solution for Gurson-based pressure-dependent elastoplastic model. The accuracies of the algorithms are assessed by means of iso-error maps. Results show that the formulated generalized mid-point algorithms are reasonably accurate in both small and large increment steps.
