The static approach to evaluate the limit multiplier directly was rephrased using the Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method (SGBEM) for multidomain type problems [1,2]. The present formulation couples SGBEM multidomain procedure with nonlinear optimization techniques, making use of the self-equilibrium stress equation [3-5]. This equation connects the stresses at the Gauss points of each substructure (bem-e) to plastic strains through a self-stress matrix computed in all the bem-elements of the discretized system. The analysis was performed by means of a conic quadratic optimization problem, in terms of discrete variables, and implemented using Karnak.sGbem code [6] coupled with MathLab. Finally, some numerical tests are shown and the limit multiplier values are compared with those available in the literature [4,8]. The applications show a very important computational advantage of this strategy which allows one to introduce a domain discretization only in the zones involved in plastic strain action and to leave the rest of the structure as elastic macroelements, therefore governed by few boundary variables.
