Abstract
The implementation of a coupled analysis capability into an existing Finite Element computer program is discussed. The coupled analysis is then applied to a circular excavation in a infinite domain where the region of plasticity is confined to the Finite Element mesh. Further potential usage of the coupled analysis is then discussed in relation to mine design.
