Abstract: This paper is concerned with a phenomenological model of initially isotropic finite-strain multiplicative elasto-plasticity for polycrystals with grain boundary relaxation (Neff, Cont. Mech. Thermo., 2003). We prove a local in time existence and uniqueness result of the corresponding initial boundary value problem in the quasistatic rate-dependent case. Use is made of a generalized Korn first inequality (Neff, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinb. A, 2002) taking into account the incompatibility of the plastic deformation $F_p$. This is a first result concerning classical solutions in geometrically exact nonlinear finite visco-plasticity for polycrystals. Global existence is not proved and cannot be expected due to the natural possibility of material degradation in time.
