A framework for coupled elastoplastic and damage theories is developed, following a rigorous thermodynamic procedure. This framework is sufficiently general to include anisotropic plasticity and damage formulations. Both the plastic yield and damage functions are constructed using homogeneous functions of degree one. The principle of maximum dissipation or maximum entropy production is used to derive the evolution relations together with the loading and unloading conditions. In addition, the convexity of the undamaging elastic domain is shown. For plasticity the resulting evolution of the plastic strains corresponds to an associative flow. This general framework is shown to be sufficiently general to describe several popular theories for both plasticity and damage. Limitations of some existing damage theories are discussed.
