Glossary

The entire constitutive model will be form-identical to the small strain

theory. The large strain plasticity theory is applied to the von Mises yield
criterion, associative flow rule and isotropic or kinematic hardening
(bilinear or multi-linear). Temperature-dependency of material property is
supported by bilinear hardening. The radial-return algorithm is used in
the current case. The basic idea is to approximate the normal vector N
by:

where,

The following figure illustrates the above two equations.

The element force vector and stiffness matrices are computed based on
the updated Lagrangian formulation. The Cauchy stresses, logarithmic
strains and current thickness (shell elements only) are recorded in the
output file.

The elasticity in the current case is modeled in hyperelastic form that

assumes small elastic strains but allows for arbitrarily large plastic
strains. For large strain elasticity problems (rubber-like), you can use
hyperelastic material models such as Mooney-Rivlin.

Cauchy (true) stress and logarithmic strain should be used in

defining the multi-linear stress-strain curve.
