Kinematics of Finite Plastic Deformation

Comparing Equations 7-13 and 7-14 with 7-12 gives the multiplicative decomposition of the

Deformation Gradient

The functions Fe and Fp are defined as:

• Point functions if the plastic flow in nonhomogeneous

• Continuous functions if the plastic flow is homogeneous
