In this communication we propose a new exponential-based integration algorithm for associative von-Mises plasticity with linear isotropic and kinematic hardening, which follows the ones presented by the authors in previous papers. In the first part of the work we develop a theoretical analysis on the numerical properties of the developed exponential-based schemes and, in particular, we address the yield consistency, exactness under proportional loading, accuracy and stability of the methods. In the second part of the contribution, we show a detailed numerical comparison between the new exponential-based method and two classical radial return map methods, based on backward Euler and midpoint integration rules, respectively. The developed tests include pointwise stress-strain loading histories, iso-effor maps and global boundary value problems. The theoretical and numerical results reveal the optimal properties of the proposed scheme.

Abstract
In this communication we propose a new exponential-based integration algorithm for associative von-Mises plasticity with linear isotropic and kinematic hardening, which follows the ones presented by the authors in previous papers. In the first part of the work we develop a theoretical analysis on the numerical properties of the developed exponential-based schemes and, in particular, we address the yield consistency, exactness under proportional loading, accuracy and stability of the methods. In the second part of the contribution, we show a detailed numerical comparison between the new exponential-based method and two classical radial return map methods, based on backward Euler and midpoint integration rules, respectively. The developed tests include pointwise stress-strain loading histories, iso-effor maps and global boundary value problems. The theoretical and numerical results reveal the optimal properties of the proposed scheme.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
