... resultants (Mx, My, Mxy, Nx, Ny, Nxy). Onset of plasticity is always governed by the general yield-line model (YLM), but in some cases the stressresultant form of a von Mises function is used post-yield to ensure the proper evolution of plastic strains. Case studies are presented, involving isotropic...
