      [For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00039.] Just as for elastic contact problems one can state for the elastoplastic one a minimization problem in terms of stress- and strain-rates. After a discretization in time by finite differences and in space by finite elements one has to solve either a sequence of nonlinear optimization problems with constraints or a sequence of Kuhn-Tucker inequalities. For this, sequential quadratic programming algorithms (as the natural extension of Newton-methods to problems with constraints) have proved best. So far, these methods were restricted to problems with small dimension and thus not suited for problems in the field of structural mechanics. We show how to implement this method in general finite element codes.
