Large-strain formulation

is based on the introduction of an intermediate local configuration, with respect to which the elastic response is characterized. This concept leads to a multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient into elastic and plastic parts:

$$\mbox{\boldmath$F$} = \mbox{\boldmath$F$} ^e \mbox{\boldmath$F$} ^p.$$ (46)

The stress-evaluation algorithm can be based on the classical radial return mapping; see [20] for more details. Damage is not yet implemented in the large-strain version of the model.

The model description and parameters are summarized in Tab. 10.

Description	Mises plasticity model with isotropic hardening
Record Format	MisesMat (in) # d(rn) # E(rn) # n(rn) # sig0(rn) # H(rn) # omega_crit(rn) #a(rn) #
Parameters	- material number
	- d material density
	- E Young's modulus
	- n Poisson's ratio
	- sig0 initial yield stress in uniaxial tension (compression)
	- H hardening modulus (can be negative in the case of plastic softening)
	- omega_crit critical damage in damage law (45)
	- a exponent in damage law (45)
Supported modes	1dMat, PlaneStrain, 3dMat, 3dMatF

VTKxml output can report Mises stress, which equals to $\sqrt{3J_2}$. When no hardening/softening exists, Mises stress reaches values up to given uniaxial yield stress ${\it sig0}$.
