3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION
JAC is a two-dimensional finite element program for solving large deformation, temperature dependent, quasi-static mechanics problems with the nonlinear conjugate gradient (CG) technique. Either plane strain or axisymmetric geometry may be used with material descriptions which include temperature dependent elastic-plastic, temperature dependent secondary creep, and isothermal soil models. The nonlinear effects examined include material and geometric nonlinearities due to large rotations, large strains, and surface which slide relative to one another. JAC is vectorized to perform efficiently on the Cray1 computer. A restart capability is included.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION
The nonlinear conjugate gradient method is employed in a two-dimensional plane strain or axisymmetric setting with various techniques for accelerating convergence. Sliding interface conditions are also implemented. A four-node Lagrangian uniform strain element is used with orthogonal hourglass viscosity to control the zero energy modes. Three sets of continuum equations are needed - kinematic statements, constitutive equations, and equations of equilibrium - to describe the deformed configuration of the body.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM
Maxima of -
10 load and solution control functions
4 materials
The strain rate is assumed constant over a time interval. Current large rotation theory is applicable to a maximum shear strain of 1.0. JAC should be used with caution for large shear strains. Problem size is limited only by available memory.

8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS
QMESH, RENUM, QPLOT (NESC 612) is used to generate JAC mesh input. The sample problems include the QMESH, RENUM, QPLOT input data required. JAC writes an output data file for use with various plotting routines DETOUR, TPLOT2, SPLOT, and MOVIE-BYU for graphical postprocessing; these programs are not included.

14. OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION OR RESTRICTIONS
If the functions SECOND, CLOCK, and DATE are not available, they can be eliminated. Memory adjustment routines from the LANL-spcific CFTLIB FORTRAN library are used to control the addition or deletion of memory to and from BLANK COMMON depending on the size of the problem being executed. These routines are not included. The memory adjustment feature should be removed or a suitable alternative supplied for the environment in which JAC is implemented.
