    Abstract This paper delivers several new types of representations of the convex plasticity equation and realizes them by numerical discretizations. In terms of the Gaussian unit vector and the Weingarten map techniques in differential geometry, we prove that the plastic equation exhibits a Lie group symmetry. We convert the nonlinear constitutive equations to a quasilinear equations system X = AX, X ∈ Mn+1, A ∈ so(n,1) in local. In this way the inherent symmetry of the constitutive model of convex plasticity is brought out. The underlying structure is found to be a cone in the Minkowski space Mn+1 More >
