Abstract
Constitutive models in soil mechanics are used to determine theoretical solutions to a host of geotechnical engineering problems such as pile-soil interaction, pile installation, short and long term stability, consolidation and foundation problems, etc. A fundamental component of the numerical formulation of the constitutive equations is the development of the elastoplastic tangent stiffness matrix. The numerical formulation of the elastoplastic matrix for a work hardening/softening material, as applicable to a general purpose finite element computer code, has been attempted by the author.
The derived tangent stiffness matrix is symmetric for the associated flow rule (g = f) but it is non-symmetric for the non-associated flow rule (g
