Dear all,
I am trying to solve the thermal ratcheting of a hollow cylinder using elasto-plastic formulation.
I am applying the moving thermal gradient in axial direction. Our FEM code(Newton Raphson) is converging for first increment but after that it is diverging. I have used 8 noded serendipity element with 9 gauss point.
Anyone can please help me that why it is happening?
Thanks
Raj
