Plasticity integration: satisfaction of the consistency requirement

Submitted by Weijie Liu on

Dear all,

I am trying to formulate the return mapping algorithm with Hill48 yield condition, isotropic hardening law and flow rule referenced to Simo & Hughes (Computational Inelasticity).

In section 2.2.2.1, equation (2.2.9) expresses the Kuhn-Tucker complementarity conditions:

In addition to conditions (2.2.9),   satisfies the consistency requirement:
