Here we propose a macroscopic model for elasto-plastic composite, characterized by an initial anisotropy, that can evolve during the large plastic deformation. Application to transversely isotropic and orthotropic composites will be also developed. The paper deals with anisotropic finite elasto-plastic 6-models, which accounts for the dissipative nature of the plastic flow, within the construct...

x-100 steel is one of the most recently developed materials for production of gas transportation pipelines. this material is severely anisotropic. smooth and notched round bars with different notch radius and flat notched specimens with different notch radius and notch depth in tension are tested to characterize the failure of this material under quasi-static loading condition. triaxiality fact...

A constitutive theory for orthotropic materials is briefly summarized. The constitutive theory allows for anisotropy of the elastic response and anisotropy resulting from both the yield function and the kinematic hardening. The formulation also includes a constitutive theory, thermodynamically consistent, for the plastic spin and the re-orientation of the anisotropy properties towards a more fa...
