On renormalised solution for thermomechanical problem in perfect -   plasticity
  We consider the quasi-static evolution of the thermo-plasticity model in which the evolution equation law for the inelastic strain is given by the Prandtl-Reuss flow rule. The thermal part of the Cauchy stress tensor is not linearised in the neighbourhood of a references temperature. This nonlinear thermal part imposed to add a damping term to the balance of the momentum, which can be interpreted as external forces acting on the material. In general the dissipation term occurring in the heat equation is integrable function only and the standard methods can not be applied. Combining truncation techniques and Boccardo-Gallou\"et approach with monotone methods we prove an existence of renormalised solutions.
