Abstract
Induced anisotropy is a phenomenon of great interest especially when large continuum elasto-viscoplastic deformations are considered. An initially isotropic continuum can exhibit, as the deformation evolves, stress or deformation induced anisotropies. Accordingly, the kind of anisotropy one is given is defined with respect to the actual configuration and not with respect to the initial one. Hence, it is motivated to discuss the conditions under which the formulation of a free energy function in terms of spatial strain tensors is admissible.
