“…For any such case, the minimum requirement we need for representing with irreversible deformation and change of elastic response leads to a coupled damageplasticity model [7,10,13,17]. The class of coupled damageplasticity models studied in this work is even more general from the initial models of this kind proposing plasticity criterion in terms of damage-modified effective stresses [7,10,17] in that it accommodates the independent criteria, the first for triggering the evolution of the irreversible deformation as opposed to the second governing the evolution of the elastic response modification [4,6]. The main objective of this work is to discuss the theoretical formulation of such a coupled damage-plasticity model, as well as the numerical implementation.…”
