COMPLAS 2021 is the 16th conference of the COMPLAS Series.
The COMPLAS conferences started in 1987 and since then have become established events in the field of computational plasticity and related topics. The first fifteen conferences in the COMPLAS series were all held in the city of Barcelona (Spain) and were very successful from the scientific, engineering and social points of view. We intend to make the 16th edition of the conferenceanother successful edition of the COMPLAS meetings.
The objectives of COMPLAS 2021 are to address both the theoretical bases for the solution of nonlinear solid mechanics problems, involving plasticity and other material nonlinearities, and the numerical algorithms necessary for efficient and robust computer implementation. COMPLAS 2021 aims to act as a forum for practitioners in the nonlinear structural mechanics field to discuss recent advances and identify future research directions.

A procedure is proposed for the direct construction of a basis of a space of symmetric divergence free polynomial stress fields in 3D. Such a basis may be used in the formulation of equilibrium finite elements

A continuation anisotropic adaptive algorithm to solve elliptic PDEs is pre sented. The p-laplacian problem and the Stokes equation are considered. The algorithm is based on an a posteriori error indicator justified in [7] and [10]. The goal is to produce an anisotropic mesh such that the relative estimated error is close to a preset tolerance TOL. A continuation method is used to decrease TOL. Numerical results show that the computational time is considerably reduced when using such a continuation algorithm.
