The paper presents a constitutive model for Sn-Pb solder which captures the response of this complex material subject to a variety of load paths including fatigue loading. Internal state variables are established to characterize grain coarsening and material degradation observed experimentally. A damage-coupled viscoplastic constitutive model is formulated to take into account the effects of temperature and loading rates on mechanical response. The influence of fatigue loading frequency or strain rate, hold time and temperature on mechanical behavior and fatigue life for 63Sn-37Pb solder alloy is examined. The fatigue failure predictions are compared with those obtained experimentally and found to be satisfactory.

A unified constitutive model incorporating internal state variables based upon the deformation phenomena that are observed to occur at the microstructural level has been developed and applied to Rene´ 95. Material hardening is modeled using dragstress and back-stress state variables, while the reduction in the material’s load-carrying capability is described by using a damage-accumulation state variable. Application of the model to the tensile, cyclic, and creep loadings of Rene´ 95 at 650°C demonstrated that the model is capable of capturing cyclic hardening, damage accumulation, and tertiary creep by using one inelastic flow equation in concert with the state-variable-evolution equations.

We present the microstructural basis, the initial macroscopical formulations, and a possible axiomatic reconstruction of the elastoviscoplastic model for metals based on the use of the local, current, relaxed configurations. Structural analysis and experimental data show that using these configurations offers advantages for the formulation of the material laws when the deformations are small or moderately large. Our review aims to be a concise, historical, and critical exposition of the main stages, contributions and results, which led, during the late sixties and the beginning of seventies, to the formulation of the fundamental ideas lying at the basis of the model. We delineate the role played by Lee, Liu, Teodosiu, Sidoroff, Mandel, and Kratochvil in the first formulation of the theory between 1966 and 1972, as well as the contributions of Dafalias and Loret to the development of the model between 1983 and 1985. Finally, we discuss some results obtained between 1985 and 1988 with models based on local current relaxed configurations.

Based on previous work by the authors, a model for anisotropic, kinematic hardening materials is constructed to describe constitutive equations and evolution laws in rate-independent, small deformation plasticity on the basis of thermodynamics. Unlike other theories developed earlier wherein only internal state variables are chosen to describe inelastic deformation, the present paper also considers inelastic strain as an independent variable. This can be shown to reduce to the well-known plastic strain in the case of rate-independent plasticity.

The steady two-dimensional problem of reflexion of an oblique partly dispersed plane shock wave from a plane wall is studied analytically. Viscosity, diffusion and heat conduction are neglected. The thermodynamic state of the gas is assumed to be determined by the instantaneous values of the specific entropy s, pressure p and a finite number of internal state variables. Results for the flow field behind the reflected shock are obtained by a perturbation method which is based on the assumption that the influence of relaxation is relatively weak.

In this work, the viscoplasticity and creep behavior for modified 9Cr-1Mo and 316 stainless steels were investigated. Based on the absolute reaction rate theory, a unified constitutive model incorporating internal state variables was proposed to characterize the evolution of the back stress. Also, the model was implemented by the ABAQUS system with the semi-implicit stress integration. Compared to the experimental data, the results demonstrated that the proposed approach could effectively simulate the cyclic softening and hardening behavior for such structural steels.
