[[File:Rock plasticity compression plain.svg|thumb|right|300px|Stress-strain curve showing typical plastic behavior of materials in uniaxial compression. The strain can be decomposed into a recoverable elastic strain (<math>\varepsilon_evarepsilon_p</math>) and an inelastic strain (<math>\varepsilon_pvarepsilon_e</math>). The stress at initial yield is <math>\sigma_0</math>. For strain hardening materials (as shown in the figure) the yield stress increases with increasing plastic deformation to a value of <math>\sigma_y</math>.]]

Typical flow plasticity theories (for small deformation perfect plasticity or hardening plasticity) are developed on the basis of the following requirements:

# The material has a linear elastic range.
