Endochronic analysis for finite elasto-plastic deformation and application to metal tube under torsion and metal rectangular block under biaxial compression (Q1369372)

The constitutive equations of endochronic theory are extended to simulate the material behavior under elastoplastic finite deformation using the concept of corotational rate. The authors incorporate into the theory different corotational rates and investigate axial effects for various materials subjected to simple and pure torsional loading. Experimental data are used to verify the theoretical simulations.
