Abstract

The restrictive framework of generalised standard materials can be suitably extended to model non-associative constitutive equations, by exploiting the concept of implicit standard materials, based on the use of a bipotential of dissipation. As presented in this study, it allows one to incorporate, in an easy and elegant way, non-linear kinematic and isotropic hardening in the constitutive equations and to recover useful flow rule normality for these non-associative behaviours.

Sommario. Il ristretto ambito dei materiali standard generalizzati è adeguatamente esteso nel lavoro utilizzando il concetto di materiale standard implicito e di bipotenziale di dissipazione. Ciò consente di incorporare nelle equazioni costitutive, in modo semplice ed elegante, leggi non lineari di incrudimento cinematico ed isotropo e di riottenere formalmente, per questi comportamenti di tipo non associato, la condizione di normalità nella legge di flusso.
