On the modelling of anisotropic elastic and inelastic material behaviour at large deformation (Q5957553)

The author solves the title problem in the framework of a thermodynamic internal-variable-based formulation. A model for plastic or inelastic deformations, which is considered as a transformation of local reference configuration for each material element, is used. The effect of isotropic continuum damage can be also taken into account. Some symmetry properties for certain stress measures are proved even in the case of induced anisotropic elastic or inelastic material behaviour, and at last metal plasticity with isotropic kinematic hardening is discussed. The multiplicative elastoplastic decomposition of the deformation gradient is justified under certain assumptions. With this paper the author contributes substantially to the general modelling of anisotropic elastic and inelastic material behaviour at large deformations.
