NIKE2D is a vectorized, implicit, finite-deformation, large strain, finite-element code for analyzing the response of two-dimensional axisymmetric, plane strain, and plane stress solids. A variety of loading conditions can be handled including traction boundary conditions, displacement boundary conditions, concentrated nodal point loads, body force loads due to base accelerations, and body force loads due to spinning. Slide-lines with interface friction are available. Elastic, orthotropic-elastic, elastic-plastic, soil and crushable foam, thermo-elastic-plastic, linear viscoelastic thermo-orthotropic elastic, elastic-creep, and strain rate dependent material models are implemented. Nearly incompressible behavior that arises in plasticity problems and elasticity problems with Poisson`s ratio approaching 0.5 is accounted for in the element formulation to preclude mesh lock-ups and associated anomalous stress states. FISSLE (Fast Implicit Solver for Systems of Linear Equations), a set of subroutines used by NIKE2D, is included.
