(Starting Fall 2008)A Cosserat Point Element (CPE) for finite deformation elastic-viscoplastic materialsBackground:Recently the theory of a Cosserat Point has been used to develop an eight noded 3-D brick Cosserat Point Element (CPE) for finite deformation elasticity. In contrast with standard finite element procedures, the CPE approach treats the element as a structure and proposes a strain energ
