Abstract
The flow theory of elasto-plastic bodies with isotropic strain hardeni ng is formulated in strain space by means of a time-dependent variatio nal inequality. Using concepts of subdifferential and multivalued maxi mal monotone operators, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a sol ution of the quasistatic problem in R(n), (n = 2, 3), with mixed bound ary conditions.
