Abstract An efficient numerical algorithm for modeling of cyclic elastoplastic deformation of shell structures is derived. The constitutive model includes highly nonlinear multi-component forms of kinematic and isotropic hardening functions in conjunction with von Mises yield criterion. Therein, the closest point projection algorithm employing the Reissner-Mindlin type kinematic model, completely formulated in tensor notation, is applied. A consistent elastoplastic tangent modulus ensures high convergence rates in the global iteration approach. The integration algorithm has been implemented into a layered assumed strain isoparametric finite shell element, which is capable of geometrical nonlinearities including finite rotations.
