Most materials - especially metals - have the property that they show some hardening effects during the forming process.
There are different constitutive laws to describe those material behaviors. The
simplest one is called linear isotropic hardening described by the flow function
-$\mathcal{F}(\tau,\eta) = \vert\tau^D\vert - (\sigma_0 + \gamma{\text{iso}}\eta)$ where
+$\mathcal{F}(\tau,\eta) = \vert\tau^D\vert - (\sigma_0 + \gamma^{\text{iso}}\eta)$ where
$\eta$ is the norm of the plastic strain $\eta = \vert \varepsilon -
A\sigma\vert$.

Now we want to derive a primal problem which only depends on the displacement $u$. For that purpose we
set $\eta = \xi$ and eliminate the stress $\sigma$ by applying the projection
@f{gather*}\left(P_{\Pi}(C\varepsilon(u)),\varepsilon(\varphi) - \varepsilon(u)\right) \geq 0,\quad \forall \varphi\in V^+,@f}
with the projection:
@f{gather*}P_{\Pi}(\tau):=\begin{cases}
- \tau, & \text{if }\vert\tau^D\vert \leq \sigma_0 + \gamma{\text{iso}}\xi,\\
- \hat\alpha\dfrac{\tau^D}{\vert\tau^D\vert} + \dfrac{1}{3}tr(\tau), & \text{if }\vert\tau^D\vert > \sigma_0 + \gamma{\text{iso}}\xi,
+ \tau, & \text{if }\vert\tau^D\vert \leq \sigma_0 + \gamma^{\text{iso}}\xi,\\
+ \hat\alpha\dfrac{\tau^D}{\vert\tau^D\vert} + \dfrac{1}{3}tr(\tau), & \text{if }\vert\tau^D\vert > \sigma_0 + \gamma^{\text{iso}}\xi,
\end{cases}@f}
with the radius
-@f{gather*}\hat\alpha := \sigma_0 + \gamma{\text{iso}}\xi .@f}
+@f{gather*}\hat\alpha := \sigma_0 + \gamma^{\text{iso}}\xi .@f}
With the relation $\xi = \vert\varepsilon(u) - A\sigma\vert$ it is possible to eliminate $\xi$ inside the projection $P_{\Pi}$:\\
@f{gather*}P_{\Pi}(\tau):=\begin{cases}
\tau, & \text{if }\vert\tau^D\vert \leq \sigma_0,\\
\alpha\dfrac{\tau^D}{\vert\tau^D\vert} + \dfrac{1}{3}tr(\tau), & \text{if }\vert\tau^D\vert > \sigma_0,
\end{cases}@f}
-@f{gather*}\alpha := \sigma_0 + \dfrac{\gamma{\text{iso}}}{2\mu+\gamma{\text{iso}}}\left(\vert\tau^D\vert - \sigma_0\right) ,@f}
+@f{gather*}\alpha := \sigma_0 + \dfrac{\gamma^{\text{iso}}}{2\mu+\gamma^{\text{iso}}}\left(\vert\tau^D\vert - \sigma_0\right) ,@f}
with a further material parameter $\mu>0$ called shear modulus. We refer that
this only possible for isotropic plasticity.
