The code change looks correct and matches the constitutive equation referenced in the documentation. Replacing the second plastic_modulus with plastic_strain_increment also restores the expected dimensional consistency of the back-stress evolution.
The only suggestion I have is to add a regression test covering this constitutive update so that this typo cannot be reintroduced in the future. Otherwise, this looks good to me.
