I am running ElastoPlastic analysis. With application of the load, the external work of the whole model at a specific time reaches a peack and starts to become a decreasing function of time, although the load is increasing. After that the external work becomes a decreasing function of time.
I do not understand the underlying physical cause for this outcome.
My energy equation
E(external force)= E(elastic)+ E (plastic dissipation)+E(artifical damping)
thanks for help
