Bad material definition: vumat

Hi,

I am simulating a sphere inclusion in a cube. The cube and the
spherical inclusion have different material properties and their
constitutive behavior follows the same equations.  I use vumat to
describe the constitutive behavior. The material properties
and the vumat have been tested individually and they work fine.

When, I use two different sets of material properties simultaneously in simulation, I get the following error

Hypoelastic materials: constitutive equations in rate form

Hi,

I want to derive the rate form of the consitutive relation for hypoelastic material:

Jaumann stress rate=L:D

where L is a fourth order modulus tensor and D is the rate of deformation. 

Most papers that I have seen begin with this expression. But I would like to know how to arrive at this equation.

 

Any suggestion?

 

Thanks
