The extension is based on a new dissipation inequality at finite strains. The evolution equations are formulated in terms of the corotational rates of the logarithmic elastic strain and the strain-like internal variable conjugate to the back stress as well as the material time derivative of the accumulated plastic strain. The stress equation is expressed on the hyperelastic theory. Therefore, the possible inconsistency with elasticity, caused by the hypoelastic equations, is completely removed.
