G.1 The Incremental Problem of Generalised Elasto-Plasticity

By applying the generalised midpoint algorithm to the evolution
problem of rate-independent plasticity and restricting attention to
the backward Euler scheme ( = 1), the incremental version of the
elasto-plastic evolution problem is obtained in the form

G.2 Elastic Predictor

In a standard manner a global solution of the BVP at supplies
incremental strain (and follows
immediatly) at the local (Gauss point) level. The problem consists in
updating in a manner
which is consistent with the model (G.1)-(G.3).


Structure of the incremental elasto-plastic problem (G.1)-(G.3) allows
solution to be pursued in two distinct steps which have a compelling
physical interpretation

G.2 Elastic Predictor

The above state constitutes the so-called elastic predictor. In
general, unless step is purely elastic, this state is physically
inadmissible and requires further correction in the second phase of
the algorithm.
The discrete Kuhn-Tucker conditions provide information
which is governing further algorithmic steps. The main result may be
summarised in the form

The objective is to obtain a solution which in
turn denes which in turn defines In
the case of generalised elasto-plasticity this solution is not available

level) the following nonlinear system of algebraic equations for

G.4 Barlat Anisotropic Yield Criterion.

The Barlat yield criterion is formulated by F. Barlat in 1989. to
accurately model the anisotropic plastic behaviour of textured
polycrystalline sheets. The mathematical representation of this
criterion for the plane stress conditions takes the form





where a; h; p and M are material constants and is the
yield stress from a uniaxial tension test.

G.4 Barlat Anisotropic Yield Criterion.

For a given value of the exponent M material constants a; h; p can
be evaluated using R values, i.e. plastic strain ratios of the in-plane
strains to the thickness strain obtained from uniaxial tension tests in
three different directions.

The resulting set of functions span the set of yield surfaces which
include the standard von Mises and Tresca yield surfaces for M=2
and respectively.

Also the Hill orthotropic yield criterion is included as a special case.
