Abstract: A large deformation elastic-viscoplastic theory is formulated which considers both elastic and inelastic deformations to be present at all stages of loading and unloading. The theory does not ...

Abstract: A set of constitutive equations has been formulated to represent elastic-viscoplastic strain-hardening material behavior for large deformations and arbitrary loading histories. An essential feature ...

Abstract: The purpose of this Brief Note is to demonstrate the feasibility of using commercial manganin stress gauges in dynamic uniaxial stress experiments. This was demonstrated by measuring the stress-time ...

Abstract: The purpose of this Brief Note is to present experimental stress-time histories along the centerline of impulsively loaded aluminum rods. The measurement is based on the double gauge technique ...

Abstract: Elastic-viscoplastic constitutive equations based on two internal state variables are utilized to determine material response for uniaxial cyclic loading conditions. These equations are capable of ...
