Sažetak
The paper is concerned with a formulation of anisotropic finite strain inelasticity based on the multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient F = FeFp. A major feature of the theory is its invariance with respect to rotations superimposed on the inelastic part of the deformation gradient. The paper motivates and shows how such an invariance can be achieved. At the heart of the formulation is the mixed-variant transformation of the structural tensor, defined as the tensor product of the privileged directions of the material as given in a reference configuration, under the action of Fp. Issues related to the plastic material spin are discussed in detail. It is shown that, in contrast to the isotropic case, any flow function formulated purely in terms of stress quantities, necessary exhibits a non-vanishing plastic material spin. The possible construction of spin-free rates is discussed as well, where it is shown that the flow rule must then depend not only on the stress but on the strain as well.
