Abstract
A parametric representation of the yield surface in principal stress s pace is used to formulate constitutive equations for plane-stress plas ticity of orthotropic sheets. The yield function and the associated fl ow rule are analysed by taking account of the orientation of the princ ipal stress axes, and conditions for internal consistency of the model are derived. Based on this general framework, an orthotropic yield cr iterion is proposed, and implemented in calculations of sheet-metal fo rming processes.
