Abstract
In this paper the plastic potential theory is compared with the tensor function theory. The former theory is compatible with the latter, if the material is isotropic, and if additional conditions are fulfilled. However, in cases where one has anisotropic materials, the plastic potential theory only furnishes restricted forms of constitutive equations, even if a general plastic potential has been assumed. Consequently, the classical flow rule must be modified for anisotropic solids. In this paper these appropriate modifications are discussed and the resulting conditions of compatibility are derived.
