LARGE STRAINS IN VISCOELASTOPLASTICITY

The direct generalization of the well known method of symbolic (rheolo gical) models is presented. Special attention is paid to Maxwell and B ingham materials. It is shown that modified constitutive equations for Maxwell and Bingham materials are not sensitive to the method of spli tting the viscoelastoplastic deformation into two parts: elastic and v iscous or viscoplastic. Different possible methods of splitting are pr esented and discussed.
