    Abstract A constitutive model for the elastic-plastic behavior of plastically compressible orthotropic materials is proposed based on an ellipsoidal yield surface with evolving ellipticity to accommodate non-uniform hardening or softening associated with stressing in different directions. The model incorporates rate-dependence arising from material rate-dependence and micro-inertial effects. The basic inputs are the stress-strain responses under the six fundamental stress histories in the orthotropic axes. Special limits of the model include classical isotropic hardening theory, the Hill model for incompressible orthotropic solids, and the Deshpande-Fleck model for highly porous isotropic foam metals. A primary motivation is application… More >
