Abstract
A systematic approach to determine conditions for convergence of parti tioned staggered procedures for consolidation problems is presented. C onsistency, convergence and stability is investigated for linear and n onlinear problems and a comparison of the partitioned and direct metho d is made. Conclusions, based also on numerical evidence, are drawn. T he significance of the ratio of the time step length to the square of the finite element mesh length is shown.
