Abstract: An axisymmetrical shell element for large plastic strains is developed. The theory is based on the multiplicative decomposition of the material deformation gradient into an elastic and a plastic part. For quasi-Kirchhoff-type axisymmetric shells this leads to a product of the elastic and plastic stretches. By introduction of logarithmic strains the decomposition becomes additive. Plastic incompressibility is fulfilled in an exact manner.
