Forward vs backward Euler for return algorithms

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

In Part 5 of my series on return mapping for plane stress plasticity, I claim that the obsession with backward Euler is not justified if accuracy is important.  See http://www.parresianz.com/mechanics/plasticity/algorithm/plane-stress-drucker-prager-return-part-5/.

Let me know if you disagree and why.
