Abstract

The conservation laws, the constitutive equations, and the equation of state for path-dependent materials are formulated for an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method. Both the geometrical and material nonlinearities are included in this setting. Computer implementations are presented and an elastic-plastic wave propagation problem is used to examine some features of the proposed method.
