Abstract
- This paper is concerned with the energy-dissipation Brezis–Ekeland–Nayroles variational principle (BEN principle) for the numerical study of quasi-static elastoplastic and viscoplastic problems in small strains. This principle is based on the dissipation potential and its Fenchel transform and allows to have a consistent view of the whole evolution by computing the nonlinear response along the whole time history as a solution of a suitable minimization problem. In the present work, the BEN principle is applied to address the elastic perfectly plastic and viscoplastic thick hollow cylinder subjected to internal pressure. It turns out that the BEN variational formulation is based on a two-field functional, that leads naturally to discretize the displacement and stress fields. We present the detailing of the discretization and the numerical implementation of the minimization problem by using the mixed finite element method which is more efficient to enforce the yield condition. Computational accuracy and efficiency of the BEN principle is assessed by comparing the numerical results with the analytical ones and the simulations derived by the classical step-by-step finite element procedure.
