Abstract
The unified strength theory, its singularity and the process of the piece-wise linear yield criterion, the implementation of the unified strength theory, and the subroutine of yield criteria (subroutine “INVAR” to calculate equivalent stresses), the subroutine of flow vector and the subroutine of the corner (subroutine “YIELD” and “FOLWPL” to calculate flow vector) have been introduced in previous chapters. Some simple examples including the plane stress, plane strain and spatial axial-symmetry problems will be described in this chapter. It is easy for the reader to find out about the possibility of adding new functions to the procedure (Yu, 1992; Yu et al., 1992; Yu 1994; UEPP User’s Manual, 1998).
