Endochronic analysis for rate-dependentelasto-plastic deformation

This work presents a novel formulation of the scaling function of the intrinsic time scale[ The new formulated scaling function and the rate!sensitivity function are used in the endochronic theory to simulate the rate!dependent elasto!plastic behaviors of materials[ Several cases of rate!dependent elasto!plastic material responses are discussed separately[ Experimental data found in literature of 293 stainless steels and Ti6Al1Cb0Ta titanium alloy for rate!dependent elasto!plastic responses are used for comparison[ It is shown that the theory adequately simulates the experimental results
