Abstract
The complementary finite-element programming method and algorithm for solving finite deformation problems in nonsmooth mechanics are presented. This method provides a dual approach for the numerical solutions of the mixed boundary-value problem governed by nonsmooth physical laws. Application to non-smooth plastic flow is illustrated.
