Plastic flow equations for the local strain approach in the multiaxial case by C. Madrigal, A. Navarro, C. Vallellano

“…It is proposed that the stress space is endowed with a quadratic metric whose structure is embedded in the yield criterion. Considerations of initial isotropy of the material and of the null influence of the hydrostatic stress upon yielding leads to the realization of the simplest metric, which is associated with the von Mises yield criterion. …”
