“…Frequently, the constitutive models for anisotropy are developed following elastoplasticity theory, where the deformation is decomposed into elastic and plastic parts (Ghaboussi and Monen 1984, Kumbhojkar and Banerjee 1993, Oda 1993, Duveau et al 1998, Kiyama and Hasegawa 1998, Pietruszczak and Pande 2001, Li and Dafalias 2004. Consequently, the effect of anisotropy on the elastic and plastic behaviour is treated separately.…”
