Francfort %A Maria Giovanna Mora %K Elasto-plasticity %X Non-associative elasto-plasticity is the working model of plasticity for soil and rocks mechanics. Yet, it is usually viewed as non-variational. In this work, we prove a contrario the existence of a variational evolution for such a model under a natural capping assumption on the hydrostatic stresses and a less natural mollification of the stress admissibility constraint. The obtained elasto-plastic evolution is expressed for times that are conveniently rescaled. %B SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis 44, nr. 1 (2012) 245-292 %I SIAM %G en %U http://hdl.handle.net/1963/4139 %1 3879 %2 Mathematics %3 Functional Analysis and Applications %4 -1 %$ Submitted by Maria Pia Calandra (calapia@sissa.it) on 2011-09-15T12:13:15Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Bab-Fra-Mora_05M.pdf: 420336 bytes, checksum: cf8a2e6bd6c333fb5b6b130ae22de0a7 (MD5) %R 10.1137/110823511
