Abstract

In this paper, element free Galerkin method (EFGM) has been applied to solve nonlinear solid mechanics problems using updated Lagrangian approach. The nonlinear equations have been solved using Newton Raphson method. An associative J2 flow rule and isotropic hardening has been used for the modelling of elasto-plastic material behaviour. Elastic predictor and plastic corrector algorithm has been used for the integration of incremental stress-strain relation. Few test problems involving large deformations have been simulated and the results obtained by EFGM have been compared with those obtained by FEM.
