A Critical Review of the State of Finite Plasticity

Abstract

The object of this paper is to provide a critical review of the current state of plasticity in the presence of finite deformation. In view of the controversy regarding a number of fundamental issues between several existing schools of plasticity, the areas of agreement are described separately from those of disagreement. Attention is mainly focused on the purely mechanical, rate-independent, theory of elastic-plastic materials, although closely related topics such as rate-dependent behavior, thermal effects, experimental and computational aspects, microstructural effects and crystal plasticity are also discussed and potentially fruitful directions are identified.
