On the relationship between the Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions of finite rigid plasticity (Q1111809)

The equivalence of Lagrangian and Eulerian strain space formulation is shown in the case of finite rigid plasticity. The hardening is described either by a scalar parameter or by a back stress. It is shown how one can pass from an objective rate of stress to another one. Starting from a Lagrangian formulation the general hardening laws in an Eulerian equivalent formulation are obtained.
