    In one dimension problem there is I think no problem because from 
stress strain curve one knows already the elastic stress value (which is 
yield stress) but here we have multidimensional problem i.e. stress and 
strain as a 2nd order tensor. Therefore I am thinking now that how this 
elastic strain tensor can be evaluated to have elastic stress part to be 
subtracted from total calculated stress. 
One of the idea I have so far is to use the calculated "strain_tensor" to 
find the elastic stress as  "elastic_stress_tensor = 
(stress_strain_tensor_kappa + stress_strain_tensor_mu) * strain_tensor". 
But again the point is that the "strain_tensor" here is the total strain 
rather than elastic strain component.  

Kindly correct me if I misunderstood your suggestion at any point or if 
there is an alternate approach possible. Thank you again in advance. 
Stay healthy stay safe!
