Abstract Constitutive equation describing the mechanical properties of material has to be formulated in an identical form independent of coordinate systems by which it is described even if there exist any mutual configuration and/or mutual rotation between the material and coordinate systems. This mechanical requirement is attained by describing rate variables as corotational rate tensors with objectivity in constitutive equations in rate form. Besides, in order to use the material-time derivative of yield condition as a consistency condition it has to be replaced to the corotational derivative. In this note a general corotational rate for tensors More >
