  This contribution deals with a class of models combining isotropic damage
with plasticity. We are inspired by It has been inspired by a work by Freddi
and Royer-Carfagni, including the case where the inelastic part of the strain
only evolves in regions where the material is damaged. The evolution both of
the damage and of the plastic variable is assumed to be rate-independent.
Existence of solutions is established in the abstract energetic framework
elaborated by Mielke and coworkers.
