The plastic flow is mainly due to the rate of plastic strain increment vector
and material flow at yield is governed by the gradient of the plastic potential flow. It is called associated plasticity, if the angle of dilation
is equal to the angle of internal friction
. It means that the plastic flow develops along the normal to the yield surface. In general, however, the material plastic flow is non-associated in nature i.e., the vector of plastic strain rate is not normal to the yield surface and therefore, the dilation angle is not equal to the internal friction. The dilation angle is always taken smaller than the internal friction angle in numerical modelling, particularly for cohesive frictional materials.
