Elastic-plastic state at a point in the wall of a flat plate subjected to an increasing central concentrated load

This is Fig. 3 from the 1977 strategy paper. This slide shows paths followed in stress space (left) and strain space (right) by a material point in a circular flat plate with a central concentrated load, P. These results are from BOSOR5.

The slide demonstrates the convergence of behavior with respect to the number of load steps taken in the nonlinear elastic-plastic analysis.
