The statistical damage model presented by the authors in the previous article of this series is used to formulate analytical constitutive relations for the hardening and softening phases of two-dimensional lattices. An alternative approach to the classical damage parameter approach is presented here. A semi-empirical model based on extreme value theory (EVT) is offered.
