Material's constitutive models
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this section, the different constitutive models implemented in RamSeries are introduced. These models are capable of simulating the rheological performance of different materials, by predicting their nonlinear performance. :ref:`J2 plasticity <J2-flow>` predicts the plastic strains in a material, while :ref:`isotropic damage model <damage>` takes into account the loss of stiffness of a material.
