Abstract
A methodology for the numerical solution of discretized boundary value problems that involve rate-independent, elastic-plastic finite-strain models is developed. The formulation is given in terms of a structural Linear Complementarity Problem. A methodology for the determination of bifurcation and limit points along an equilibrium path is described. The proposed method is suited particularly for plasticity models that involve yield surfaces with singular points (corners, edges, apexes, etc.).
