Abstract
A general energy principle, applicable to a wide range of both time dependent and time independent materials is particularized to a range of constitutive relations which describe the creep and plastic behaviour of metals. When applied to the study of the deformation of a body subject to dead loading, bounds are obtained on the total deformation of the body. The techniques provides a useful direct means of deriving energy theorems for a wide range of constitutive relationships.
