Modelling and Computation of Geometrically Nonlinear Anisotropic Inelasticity

Menzel A.

Based on the framework of continuum mechanics two different concepts to formulate phenomenological anisotropic iuelasticity are developed in a thermodynamically consistent manuer. On the one hand, special emphasis is placed on the incorporation of structural tensors while on the other hand, fictitious configurations are introduced. Substantial parts of this work deal with the numerical treatment of tlie presented theory within the finite element method.
