Inelasticity<br />

Elastoplasticity, Creep <strong>and</strong> Viscoplasticity are types <strong>of</strong> Inelastic<br />

behavior<br />

Elastic behavior ⇒ stresses can be directly calculated from <strong>the</strong> strain<br />

Inelastic behavior ⇒ <strong>the</strong> stress at time t depends on <strong>the</strong> stress strain<br />

history<br />

In <strong>the</strong> incremental analysis <strong>of</strong> inelastic response we had three main scenarios<br />

Small displacements-rotations / small strains ⇒ use linear elastic<br />

solution, engineering stress <strong>and</strong> strain measures<br />

Large displacements-rotations / small strains ⇒ use TL <strong>for</strong>mulation<br />

by substituting <strong>the</strong> appropriate stress - strain measures (PK2,<br />

Green-Lagrange) in <strong>the</strong> place <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> engineering stress <strong>and</strong> strain<br />

measures<br />

Large displacements-rotations / large strains ⇒ use ei<strong>the</strong>r TL or UL<br />

<strong>for</strong>mulation, more complex constitutive laws<br />
