Abstract
A novel rate dependent but time independent plasticity constitutive framework is proposed by rendering the flow rule and the internal variables evolution equations, appropriate functions of the strain rate, while maintaining a rate independent yield surface. This new framework is applied to a full-fledged rate independent and Critical State Theory compatible constitutive model for sands, transforming it into a rate dependent to address the cases where rate dependence is the main interest in comparison with creep and relaxation of secondary importance and manifestation. A qualitative comparison is made with available rate dependent data for sands.
