NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS FOR SOLVING THE ELASTO-PLASTIC PROBLEM WITH MIXED HARDENING
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2013, Vol 58, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper deals with elasto-plastic models for mixed hardening material, described by rate-type constitutive equations. In the first part of the paper update algorithms for solving rate type elastic-plastic models with mixed hardening mixed for small deformations have been emphasized, based on the radial return mapping algorithms proposed by Simo and Hughes [28]. We exemplify the elastic prediction and plastic corrector steps of the algorithms as well as the calculus of the appropriate algorithmic tangent moduli. We emphasize the role played by the algorithmic tangent moduli in solving the quasi-static, initial and boundary value problem, based on the methodology proposed and developed in the paper by Cleja-Tigoiu and Stoicuta [8].

ON THE POST-EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE DETECTION OF STRUCTURES
The paper introduces an alternative method for evaluation the postearthquake damage in the multidegree of freedom structures with viscous and hysteretic behavior. Assuming damage as a scalar variable is very simplistic....
INVERSE DYNAMICS OF A TRANSLATION-ROTATION HYBRID PARALLEL ROBOT
Matrix relations for dynamics analysis of a spatial two-module hybrid parallel manipulator are established in this paper. Knowing the relative motions of two serially connected moving platforms, the inverse dynamics prob...
A NATURAL SONIC COMPOSITE – THE ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere represents a natural sonic composite exhibiting the full band-gaps and localized modes around inhomogeneities given by the wind-velocity jumps. The paper analyses a barometric model including inhomogeneiti...

Changing the contact mechanism for the artificial hip joint from one sliding contact between two large surfaces, to a multitude of rolling contacts, could lead to serious problems regarding functionality and durability o...
NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE QUASISTATIC CONTACT PROBLEM WITH DAMAGE
This paper deals with the numerical analysis of a quasistatic contact problem with friction between an elastic body and a rigid obstacle. The contact is frictional and is modeled with a version of normal compliance condi...
