Evaluating the development of elastic anisotropy with plastic flow (Q1045878)

The paper describes the variation of elastic response after plastic flow. It shows some examples of elastic variation. It seems that the authors do not know the exact definition of elastic parameters due to plastic strain (see fig. 2.2.12 from ``Dynamic plasticity'' by \textit{N. D. Cristescu} [Hackensack, NJ: World Scientific (2007; Zbl 1120.74001)]), and that the elastic parameters strongly depend on time. The authors look at evaluating the evolution of elastic moduli at zero stress for a material that is described by a free energy that depends on the elastic deformation gradient and on the right Cauchy plastic stretch tensor. Additionally, the authors show that imposing the condition of zero stress at zero elastic deformation can be achieved by an appropriate selection of relation between the derivatives of the free energy.
