ABSTRACT

The paper deals with an iterative procedure for the solution of elastic problems, for which the large displacement theory must be considered. It is shown that the algorithm, based upon a non-traditional iterative scheme, tends to converge to the correct solution and some numerical tests are considered, by assuming a linear and piecewise-linear material model.
