where first term is responsible for void growth, while

tions

In the standard way scalar function

is found either from consistency condition

(rate independent plasticity) or it is a given function of stress and plastic strain

(viscoplasticity).

Analysis

In the sequel it is supposed that

, i.e. voids have approximately spherical shape.

Consider as in /18/ perfectly plastic matrix characterized by:

in plastic range. Then time differentiation of Eq. (69) combined with Eqs. (71) and (73)

gives us plastic modulus
