This paper describes the formulation of a finite element method by which a limit analysis of a rigid–plastic medium with discontinuities can be performed. The Drucker–Prager criterion is adopted to describe the yielding of the medium, while the Mohr–Coulomb law is used to model the interface of the discontinuous velocity fields. Both associated and nonassociated flow rules are considered in the constitutive characterization. Results are presented to illustrate the influence of discontinuities on the bearing capacity of a surface foundation. Key words: bearing capacity, constitutive law, dilatancy, discontinuity, limit, plasticity, finite element analysis.

In this paper, single action die and double action die hot forging problems are analyzed by a combined FEM, which consists of the volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic FEM and the heat transfer FEM. The volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic FEM has some merits in comparison with the conventional rigid-plastic FEMs. Differences of calculated results for the two forging processes can be clearly seen in this paper. It is also verified that these calculated results are similar to those of the conventional rigid-plastic FEM in comparison with analyses of the same numerical examples by the penalty rigid-plastic FEM.
