STRUCTURAL INELASTICITY XIV AUTOMATIC PIECEWISE LINEARIZATION IN IDEAL PLASTICITY

A method is proposed for constructing a piecewise linear approximation to an arbitrary yield function. The approximation is constructed in the course of solving a given boundary-value problem. Its use is illustrated with some simple examples.
