2 Questions about VUHARD and VUMAT

Submitted by stanleysjtu on

I am trying to implement an analytic formulae of dynamic flow stress in material plasticity in abaqus. The model is similar to FlowStress=K*(PlasticStrain^n)*(StrainRate^m). 

Could you provide help for these 2 questions?

1: Is it OK to define Young's modulus (E) and v in "Elastic" and choose "User" in "Plastic-->Hardening" with the subroutine "VUHARD", instead of by "VUMAT" with plasticity criterion and calculation of delta stress and strain?
