“…One group of models tries to modify the shape of the yield locus, i.e. by changing the tensor by either rotating or distorting it (Baltov and Sawczuk, 1965;Barlat et al, 2011;Barlat et al, 2013;Barthel et al, 2008;Choi et al, 2006;Feigenbaum and Dafalias, 2007;Francois, 2001;Ishikawa, 1997;Ishikawa and Sasaki, 1998;Levkovitch and Svendsen, 2007b, a;Noman et al, 2010;Pietryga et al, 2012). The yield surface distortion during both proportional and non-proportional strain paths was also observed experimentally (Khan et al, 2009;Khan et al, 2010a, b;Pandey et al, 2013).…”
