A GTN-like model which yield function explicitly depends upon the third stress invariant is first described in this paper. Subsequently, a fully implicit stress integration procedure of this constitutive model based on the return-mapping algorithm is developed. The validity and the performance of the implementation of the considered algorithm within a finite element code are checked through simulations of single element test and three-element test under hydrostatic tensile conditions and simple shear loading as well. Afterwards, as a numerical example, the presented constitutive model and, for the purpose of comparison, the GTN isotropic hardening model, are used to analyze the classical tensile test of axisymmetric notched specimens. The obtained results highlight similarities, good agreement between both models as long as failure initiation of specimen is not reached, and discrepancy as soon as failure of specimen starts.

A coupled elastoplastic-damage constitutive model with consideration of chemo-induced material elastoplastic-damage effects due to heating concrete is proposed. A consistent return mapping algorithm for the integration of the rate coupled constitutive equations is developed. Consistent tangent modulus matrices for coupled chemo-thermo-hygro-mechanical analysis are derived to preserve the quadratic rate of convergence of the global Newton iterative procedure. Numerical results demonstrate the validity of the presented algorithm and illustrate the performance of the proposed constitutive model in reproducing coupled chemo-thermo-hygro-mechanical behavior in concretes subjected to fire.

The governing equations for rate-independent large strain plasticity are formulated in the framework of meshless method. The numerical procedures, including return mapping algorithm, to obtain the solutions of boundary-value problems in computational plasticity are outlined. The crack growth process in elastic-plastic solid under plane strain conditions is analyzed. The large strain plastic response of material under high-speed impact is simulated. Numerical results are presented and discussed.
