Abstract

Calculation of inelastic material behaviour by means of relaxation algorithms provides an effective way to deal with fine-scale microstructures resulting from non-quasiconvex potentials. Especially the rank-one relaxation admits a straight forward algorithmical realization and results in valuable information that enables the reconstruction of the underlying microstructure. This article is concerned with the application of higher–order rank–one relaxation to a single–slip plasticity model and focusses especially on the numerical algorithm.
