Inverse asymptotic solution method for finite deformation elasto-plasticity

The development of modern mechanics in recent years has made many importantprogresse in the concepts and methods for nonlinear large deforntation mechanics(1],2],3]etc.). The presenl paper is aimed to show how the natural co-moving systemmethod and Stokes-Chen,s decomposition theorem can be effectively appliedasymptotically to solving problems of finite defomation elasto-plasticity by inverseasymptotic method for enyineering design purpose. Rigid punch problem is exanipfifiedin the paper.
