Isotropic Elasticity

Remarks

The hardening expression shall be a simple scalar-valued expression. Check the corresponding page for details.

If any of kinematic hardening rate or bound is zero, the kinematic hardening is disabled. The local return mapping uses different algorithms depending on whether the kinematic hardening is enabled or not. Thus, if kinematic hardening is not important, one shall consider disabling it to improve numerical performance.

The reference stress is used to normalize the yield surface to avoid potential numerical issues. It shall be set to a proper value, for example, the initial yield stress.

The isotropic hardening can be disabled by providing a hardening expression that always returns zero.
