Abstract
The three-dimensional problem of anisotropic evolution is formulated a nd solved using the tools from optimal design. Basic assumptions are t he principle of maximum energy dissipation and a function that relates the damage, as measured by the rate of a constitutive matrix norm, to an effective stress measure. The presentation relies on alternative d escription for the 21 constitutive parameters and only restricts the c onstitutive matrix to be semi-positive definite.
