Abstract:Abstract. Mixed assumed stress finite elements for elastic-perfectly plastic materials require the solution of a Closest Point Projection (CPP) involving all the element stress parameters for the integration of the constitutive equation. Here, a dual decomposition strategy is adopted to split the CPP at the element level into a series of CPPs at the integration points level and in a nonlinear system of equations over the element. The strategy is tested with a four nodes mixed shell finite element, named MISS-4… Show more
