Hölder continuity for the displacements in isotropic and kinematic hardening with von Mises yield criterion

We consider the regularity of weak solutions to evolution variational inequalities arising from the flow theory of plasticity with isotropic and kinematic hardening. The (linear) elasticity tensor is allowed to have discontinuities. We derive a Morrey condition for the stress velocities and the strains (not the strain velocity!) up to the boundary. In the case of two space dimensions we conclude the Holder continuity of the displacements.
