Abstract
A three-dimensional thermodynamic setting for the modelling of elastic-plastic materials is established. The second law of thermodynamics is assumed in the Clausius-Duhem form with the entropy production being given by a constitutive function. An incremental stress strain relation is derived. In essence the free energy is found to describe the elastic behaviour while the hysteretic properties are a joint consequence of the entropy production and the free energy.
