Abstract
A Rigid-plastic finite element analysis with both the associated and the non-associated flow rules is performed to consider the mechanism of the strain localization. Numerical examples of the problems under the plane strain condition show that the distribution of equivalent plastic strain (rate) seems to concentrate along a line when a parameter of the associativeness is decreased. A qualitative and simple explanation for the difference of deformation modes due to the flow rules is given.
