Abstract
This contribution deals with investigations on enhanced Fischer–Burmeister nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) functions applied to a rate-dependent laminate-based material model for ferroelectrics. The framework is based on the modelling and parametrisation of the material’s microstructure via laminates together with the respective volume fractions. These volume fractions are treated as internal-state variables and are subject to several inequality constraints which can be treated in terms of Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions. The Fischer–Burmeister NCP function provides a sophisticated scheme to incorporate Karush–Kuhn–Tucker-type conditions into calculations of internal-state variables. However, these functions are prone to numerical instabilities in their original form. Therefore, some enhanced formulations of the Fischer–Burmeister ansatz are discussed and compared to each other in this contribution.

Derivation of the smoothed Fischer–Burmeister NCP function
Derivation of the smoothed Fischer–Burmeister NCP function
The roots of the original NCP function need to be solved in an approximative manner for the smoothed Fischer–Burmeister NCP approach. Thus, the perturbation parameter \(\delta \) controls the accuracy and the equality constraint to be solved. The corresponding derivation of the smoothed Fischer–Burmeister function provided that \(r\ge 0\) and \(\varGamma \ge 0\) reads as follows
