Yes Janek, it is wrong because u_tot in the equations I wrote is an
increment (note the dot over the letter u). We agree that it must be an
increment and that the formulation has to be incremental.

I do not know yet. I am playing with this, please do let me know if you find
an explanation..
I am having exaclty the same problem with the non linear law HM, where I
worked out all the contributions (even the elastic ones) incrementally
(trapezoidal rule). Again with no friction seems fine, but if sliding occurs
then plastic dissipation increases dreadfully. Why??
