Problem solving Strain Gradient Viscoplasticity based on the framework of Fleck and Hutchinson

I am tyring to solve simple shear problem using a large deformation FE code based on the framework developed by Fleck and Hutchinson for gradient plasticity/viscoplasticity problem (see the attached paper). As the per the formulation, the independent variables are the displacement increments and eqv. plastic strain rate increments. Two sets of equations are solved, one for displacements and the other for plastic strain rates at nodes, following the the above formulation.

hi friends am doin my my project on" FEA of plasticity induced crack closure". my specimen size is 80*80 mm. by using symmetry condition i modelled 1/4th of model in ANSYS. therfore i created 40*40 mm plate. with initial crack length of 4mm.means its MT specimen of 80*80mm with 8 mm crack length, by symmetry condition i modelled 40*40 with 4mm crack lenth.
Post-Doctoral Position in Multiscale Mechanics & Physics (MMC) Lab at University of Texas, Arlington
