Exact integration of the von Mises elastoplasticity model with combined linear isotropic-kinematic hardening

The main purpose of this work is to present two semi-analytical solutions for the von Mises elastoplasticity model governed by combined linear isotropic-kinematic hardening. The first solution (SOLe) corresponds to strain-driven problems with constant strain rate assumption, whereas the second one (SOLσ) is proposed for stress-driven problems using constant stress rate assumption. The formulas are derived within the small strain theory Besides the new analytical solutions, a new discretized integration scheme (AMe) based on the time-continuous SOLe is also presented and the corresponding algorithmically consistent tangent tensor is provided. A main advantage of the discretized stress updating algorithm is its accuracy; it renders the exact solution if constant strain rate is assumed during the strain increment, which is a commonly adopted assumption in the standard finite element calculations. The improved accuracy of the new method (AMe) compared with the well-known radial return method (RRM) is demonstrated by evaluating two simple examples characterized by generic nonlinear strain paths.
