Recovery procedures in error estimation and adaptivity. Part II: Adaptivity in nonlinear problems of elasto-plasticity behaviour Original Research Article

The first part of this paper [1] discusses in some detail the use of recovery procedures for stress, strain or gradients for efficient error estimator and the methods of arriving at adaptive, h, refinement. In this paper we extend such procedure to deal with elasto-plasticity and discuss in detail some special features of such computation.
