elastic-viscoplasticity

• This work formulates an elasto-viscoplastic model at finite strains.
• A particularly efficient numerical integration algorithm is presented.
• A closed-form analytical expression is derived for the consistent tangent operator.
• The non-linear behaviour of polymers is captured in the numerical examples.
• Quadratic rate of convergence is successfully achieved.
