Notes:
A new ‘direct’ elastoplastic boundary element formulation for axisymmetric bodies is developed. The procedure exploits certain features of the constitutive relationship to express the unknwon non-linear initial stress rate tensor as a scalar quantity which can then be eliminated from the boundary equation system though a back substitution of the (modified) stress rate equations.This formulation is implemented in a multi-region system that utilizes quadratic isoparametric shape functions to model the geometry and field variables of the boundary and domain of a body. The kernel functions are presented in Appendix I and the singularities associated with these kernels are discussed. New techniques are described to calculate the coefficients associated with the singular nodes.
