Abstract

We propose an implicit numerical implementation for the Leblond's transformation plasticity constitutive equations, which are widely used in welded steel structure. We apply generalized trapezoidal rule to integrate the equations and determine the consistent tangent moduli. The implementation may be used with updated Lagrangian formulation. We test a simple butt-welding process to compare with SYSWELD and discuss the accuracy.
