Abstract
A class of multi-dimensional Distributed-Element Models is proposed fo r constitutive modeling in cyclic plasticity. A new formulation in the ''invariant-yield-surface'' space is presented in which no kinematic hardening rule is needed to account for the subsequent yielding and st rain hardening behavior. This physically-motivated class of models is not only mathematically simple but also parsimonious in parameters. Va lidity of the model is confirmed by comparison with experimental resul ts from the literature.
