In this paper, the generalized Prandtl-Reuss (P-R) constitutive equations of elasticplastic material in the presence of fimite deformations through a new approach are studied.It analyzes the generalized P-R equation based on the material corotational rate and clarifies the puzzling problem of the simple shear stress oscillation mentioned in some literature, The paper proposes a modified relative rotational rate with which to constitute the objective rates of stress in the generalized P-R equation and concludes that the decomposition of total deformation rate into elastic and plastic parts is not necessary in developing the generalized P-R equations. Finally, the stresses of simple shear deformation are worked out.
