β¦ Synopsis
A procedure is described for including isotropic and directional damage as ioad-historydependent softening variables in a set of elastic-viscoplastic constitutive equations. The evolution equation proposed for isotropic damage integrates to an exponential form for the case of constant stress, Directional damage is represented as a second-order symmetric tensor with a scalar effective value used in the constitutive equations. A method is proposed for treating directional damage in the case of non-propo~ion~ loading histories. Comparisons are given of uniaxial creep test results for an alloy at high temperatures with calculations based on the constitutive equations with the inclusion of isotropic damage.

The computational method for large deformation plasticity called differential equations on a manifold (DEM) has previously been shown to be effective for axisymmetric and plane strain sheet metal forming problems. The method has now been formulated for in-plane stretching problems, incorporated into
