Review text

We consider numerical aspects of the problems of plastic strain localization for strain softening materials in both soil-like materials and ductile metals. In mathematical formulation, the attention should be paid to the well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem which guarantees the uniqueness of solution in the whole domain of the incremental analysis. Viscoplasticity serves as a mathematical tool of regularization of the governing equations. This formulation allows to be free from the sensitivity to the finite element mesh density. Finally, we present numerical examples of ductile and clay-type materials. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0896.00035].
