# Plasticity Benchmark and Input Data Cases
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
Plasticity benchmark and input data cases are small finite element models used to verify elasto-plastic, elasto-viscoplastic, structural plasticity, and dynamic plasticity implementations.
|
|
|
|
## Source Cases
|
|
|
|
The appendices in [[Finite-Elements-in-Plasticity-Theory-and-Practice|Finite Elements in Plasticity: Theory and Practice]] document input data for several program families:
|
|
|
|
- `PLANET` for elasto-plastic plane and axisymmetric solids.
|
|
- `VISCOUNT` for elasto-viscoplastic two-dimensional solids.
|
|
- `MINDLIN` and `MINDLAY` for nonlayered and layered elasto-plastic Mindlin plates.
|
|
- `DYNPAK` and `MIXDYN` for transient dynamic elasto-plastic or viscoplastic analysis.
|
|
|
|
The cases include element selections, material parameters, yield-criterion flags, load data, boundary conditions, and output expectations.
|
|
|
|
## Why It Matters
|
|
|
|
For a custom solver, these cases are useful as a verification pattern even when the original FORTRAN programs are not reused. A good plasticity test harness should compare displacement, reactions, element forces, stress components, and plastic state variables against a reference solver or a trusted benchmark.
|
|
|
|
## Harness Use
|
|
|
|
- Start with single-element elastic and plastic patch cases.
|
|
- Add small plane stress, plane strain, and axisymmetric plasticity cases.
|
|
- Add beam and Mindlin plate section-yielding cases.
|
|
- Add rate-dependent and transient dynamic cases only after the static plasticity state update is stable.
|
|
- Record tolerances separately for nodal, element, and stress/state outputs.
