A methodology for the numerical integration of rate-independent, elastic-plastic finite-strain models is developed. The methodology is based on the idea of local linearization of the yield surface that was proposed in , adopted as the basis for an integration scheme in , and developed further in , so far for small-strain problems only. The proposed algorithm is based on the solution of a local Linear Complementarity Problem and is suited particularly for plasticity models that involve yield surfaces with singular points (corners, edges, apexes, etc.).
