Abstract This paper deals with plasticity and viscoplasticity laws exhibiting nonlinear kinematic hardening as well as nonlinear isotropic hardening rules. In Tsakmakis (1996a, b) a constitutive theory has been formulated within the framework of finite deformations, which is based on the concept of so-called dual variables and associated time derivatives. Within two families of dual variables, two different formulations have been proposed for kinematic hardening, referred to as Models 1 and 2. In particular, rigid plastic deformations without isotropic hardening have been considered. In the present paper, the constitutive theory of Tsakmakis (1996a, b) is appropriately extended to take into account isotropic hardening as well as elastic deformations. Care is taken that the evolution equations governing the hardening response fulfill the intrinsic dissipation inequality in every admissible process. For the case of small elastic strains combined with a simplification concerning kinematic hardening, to be explained in the paper, an efficient, implicit time-integration algorithm is presented. The algorithm is developed with a view to implementation in the ABAQUS Finite Element code. Also, explicit formulas for the consistent tangent modulus are derived.
