Title: A method for smoothing multiple yield functions

Abstract

A method is presented that produces a single C2 differentiable and convex yield function from a plastic model that contains multiple yield surfaces that are individually C2 differentiable and convex. The method is suitable for implementation in numerical computer codes. Here, the error incurred through the smoothing procedure is quantified. The method is illustrated through a number of examples. Two simple finite-element models are solved to compare this method with existing approaches.
