Abstract
An explicit function of material parameter β1 is proposed to accommodate the strain-rate effect in the endochronic theory of viscoplasticity developed by Valanis. The strain-rate effects are treated in a manner that includes strain-rate history dependence. The theoretical stress-strain curves at constant strain rates are presented and compared with the existing experimental data. Based on this constitutive equation, the solution of one-dimensional plastic wave propagation in thin rods is obtained for annealed aluminum and copper. The theoretical strain-time profiles are in qualitative and quantitative agreement with the experimental results. It has been shown theoretically that the consideration of the strain-rate effect in the endochronic theory lowers the final constant strain states in the strain-time profiles.
