Abstract
AbstractHalley's method is a higher order iteration method for the solution of nonlinear systems of equations. Unlike Newton's method, which converges quadratically in the vicinity of the solution, Halley's method can exhibit a cubic order of convergence. The equations of Halley's method for multiple dimensions are derived using Padé approximants and inverse one‐point interpolation, as proposed by Cuyt. The investigation of the performance of Halley's method concentrates on eight‐node volume elements for nonlinear deformations using Staint Venant‐Kirchhoff's constitutive law, as well as a geometric linear theory of von Mises plasticity. The comparison with Newton's method reveals the sensibility of Halley's method, in view of the radius of attraction but also demonstrates the advantages of Halley's method considering simulation costs and the order of convergence.
