A nonassociative plasticity model of Drucker-Prager yield surface coupled with a generalized nonlinear kinematic hardening is considered. Conforming to the plasticity model, two exponential-based methods, called fully explicit and semi-implicit, are recommended for integrating its constitutive equations. These techniques are proposed for the first time to solve nonlinear hardening materials. The integrations are thoroughly investigated by utilizing stress and strain-updating tests along with a boundary value problem in diverse grounds of accuracy, convergence rate, and efficiency. The results indicate that the fully explicit scheme is more accurate and efficient than the Euler's, but the same convergence rate as the classical integrations is also perceived. Having a quadratic convergence, the semi-implicit is noticeably the most accurate and efficient procedure to use for this plasticity model among the algorithms in question. Since the plasticity model is in a great consistency with discontinuously reinforced aluminum (DRA) composites, the suggested formulations can be utilized pragmatically. The tangent moduli of the proposed and Euler's strategies are derived and examined, as well, due to their vital role in achieving the asymptotic quadratic convergence rate of the Newton-Raphson solution in nonlinear finite-element analyses.
