Abstract Necking is a bifurcation phenomenon observed in round bars under tensile loading and has been investigated in numbers of papers. In the present work, it is modeled within the framework of finite rate-independent plasticity. The theory is based on thermodynamic foundations developed for standard materials and results in a total Lagrangian formulation for finite plasticity, where the total strain is decomposed additively according to [Green and Nagdhi 1965)] and the hardening is characterized by a nonlinear isotropic hardening law of the saturation type.
