A closed-form solution for temperature-dependent elastoplastic problems using the Prandtl operator approach

Finite element simulations of the temperature-dependent stress-strain response in the elastoplastic region of a material usually involve incremental procedures based on the Newton–Raphson iterative scheme. Although essential to obtaining the correct result, iterations inherently extend the computational time of the simulations. In order to increase the computational effectiveness of such finite element simulations, a novel solution technique is...
