Abstract
A simple way to define the flow rules of plasticity models is the assumption of generalized normality associated with a suitable pseudo-potential function. This approach, however, is not usually employed to formulate endochronic theory and non-linear kinematic (NLK) hardening rules as well as generalized plasticity models. In this paper, generalized normality is used to give a new formulation of these classes of models. As a result, a suited pseudo-potential is introduced for endochronic models and a non-standard description of NLK hardening and generalized plasticity models is also provided. This new formulation allows for an effective investigation of the relationships between these three classes of plasticity models.
