Abstract: An internal variable constitutive theory for elastic-plastic materials undergoing finite strains is presented. The theory is based on a corresponding study in the context of small strains [6], and has the following features: first, with a view to embracing the classical notions of convex yield surfaces and the normality law, the evolution law is developed within the framework of nonsmooth convex analysis, which proves to be a powerful unifying tool; secondly, the special case of elastic materials is recovered from the theory in a natural manner. After presentation of the theory a concrete example is discussed in detail.
