First, we summarize our convex optimization method to solve the static approach of limit analysis. Then, we present the main features of a quadratic extension of a recently proposed mixed finite element method of the kinematic approach. Both methods are applied to obtain precise solutions to a forming problem with Gurson and Drucker-Prager materials. Finally, in order to analyze the criterion of "Porous Drucker-Prager" materials, the Gurson micro-macro model involving a Drucker-Prager matrix containing cylindrical cavities is investigated. Comparing previous results shows, among other things, a similarity in the compression case not always observed for the "Porous von Mises" material between cylindrical and spherical cases.
