Abstract
In this Chapter nonsmooth computational mechanics algorithms are proposed and studied. They are based on the quasidifferentiable and codifferentiable optimization algorithms, discussed thoroughly in Chapter 6, and on some cases of them (e.g. the d.c. optimization techniques). A review of classical computational mechanics algorithms and the link with the here proposed methods are also given. The techniques are illustrated by means of numerical examples. This Chapter concerns pilot applications which can be followed for the numerical treatment of other quasidifferential models in engineering.
