In this research a new approach is proposed for elasto-plastic analysis of structures with
truss elements. This method covers both perfectly plastic and hardening properties. The Proposed
technique uses substituting virtual loads instead of modifying the stiffness matrix. To solve this kind
of problems, complementary programming is utilized. Numerical examples demonstrate that elastoplastic
analysis by this approach has very good convergence, rapidity, and accuracy.
