“…Approaches based on phenomenological continuum mechanics are frequently used owing to their simplicity and relatively low computational effort, which makes them especially attractive for the simulation of real forming processes. Anisotropic continuum mechanical approaches in the finite strain regime can be, in general, separated into two groups: additive formulations, either in the logarithmic strain space (Miehe et al, 2002;Miehe and Apel, 2004) or using generalized stress-strain measures (Papadopoulos and Li, 2001;Schröder et al, 2002), and multiplicative formulations utilizing the classical split of the deformation gradient (Eidel and Gruttmann, 2003;Menzel and Steinmann, 2003;Sansour et al, 2006Sansour et al, , 2007Sansour et al, , 2008. In addition to the modelling of initial anisotropy, formulations discussing evolving plastic anisotropy of the affine saturation type and rotation of the anisotropy axes can be found in Johansson (2008) and Duchêne et al (2008), respectively.…”
