# Plastic Flow Rules and Hardening
## Definition
Plastic flow rules and hardening laws define what happens after a stress state reaches a yield surface. The flow rule gives the direction of plastic strain increment, and the hardening law evolves the yield condition as plastic deformation accumulates.
## Flow Rules
In associated plasticity, the plastic potential is the same as the yield function, so the plastic strain increment is normal to the yield surface. In non-associated plasticity, the plastic potential differs from the yield function, which is often important for pressure-dependent frictional materials where dilatancy must be controlled separately from yield.
## Hardening
The source distinguishes hardening ideas that are central to implementation:
- Isotropic hardening expands or contracts the yield surface.
- Kinematic hardening translates the yield surface and is important for reversed or cyclic loading.
- Work hardening links yield evolution to accumulated plastic work or equivalent plastic strain.
## Solver Consequences
Flow and hardening choices determine which internal variables must be stored at integration points. They also determine the material tangent used by implicit global iteration and the pseudo-load corrections used by simpler incremental schemes.
## Connections
[[Plasticity Yield Criteria]] gives the elastic/plastic boundary. [[Abaqus Constitutive Integration]] is the production stress-update layer that turns flow and hardening rules into state updates and tangent terms. [[Abaqus Metal Plasticity Models]] and [[Abaqus Geomaterial and Concrete Plasticity]] are user-facing model families built from these ideas.
