What is the basic difference between Deformation theory and flow theory of plasticity ?
I am familiar with the flow theory version of the plasticity theory but still quite confused with the deformation theory version of the same.
When a material is modeled using a non-linear elastic model to predict its plastic behavior with no distinction between the elastic and the plastic strain, is it a deformation theory in that case?
Any elaboration in this regard would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
