This article deals with the mathematical derivation and the validation over benchmark examples of a numerical method for the solution of a finite-strain holonomic (rate-independent) Cosserat plasticity problem for materials, possibly with microstructure. Two improvements are made in contrast to earlier approaches: First, the micro-rotations are parameterized with the help of an Euler-Rodrigues formula related to quaternions. Secondly, as main result, a novel two-pass preconditioning scheme for searching the energy-minimizing solutions based on the limited memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldstein-Shanno quasi-Newton method is proposed that consists of a predictor step and a corrector-iteration. After outlining the necessary adaptations to the model, numerical simulations compare the performance and efficiency of the new and the old algorithm. The proposed numerical model can be effectively employed for studying the mechanical response of complicated materials featuring large size effects.
