Abstract:
      In this paper we present a new approach for solving Drucker-Prager elastoplastic problems as second order cone complementarity problems (SOCCPs).Firstly,the classical Drucker-Prager elastoplastic constitutive equations with associative or non-associative flow rules are equivalently reformulated as second order cone complementarity conditions.Secondly,by employing parametric variational principle and the finite element method,we obtain a standard SOCCP formulation for the Drucker-Prager plasticity analysis,which can be solved efficiently by a class of semismooth Newton algorithm developed in the field of mathematical programming.Numerical results of a classical plasticity benchmark problem confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the proposal approach.
