    The paper deals with the systematic development of variational methods and associated finite element schemes for the approximate analysis of elastoplastic continua. The major difference between these novel models and existing ones consists in treating the yield condition as an a posteriori ('natural') constraint and not as an a priori ('essential') constraint. The advantages of this approach over existing ones are pointed out and discussed from a theoretical and a computational standpoint as well.
