Abstract
Very often computations on structural elements or machine components subjected to variable loading require using an advanced finite element model. This paper reports the numerical implementation of a model for multiaxial cyclic elasticplastic behaviour developed to extend the tools of the local deformation method under fatigue to multiaxial conditions. A basic computer code for axialtorsional loads was developed with the commercial software Matlab and a more sophisticated code based on the finite element model for general multiaxial loads was developed as a UMAT subroutine in Abaqus. Stress integration was introduced in the two usual forms: implicitly and explicitly. A comparison of the results obtained with the implicit and explicit formulations revealed that, under certain loading conditions, the outcome of the process depends on the particular integration scheme used.
