Abstract The influence of different loading rates on the structural response of elasto/viscoplastic materials is illustrated with specific numerical examples. An associated formulation of the evolutive laws in elasto/viscoplasticity is presented within the framework of the generalized standard material model with internal variables. An appropriate solution scheme is applied which is capable to be adopted for different constitutive models. Different loading programs are analyzed by considering different values of the loading rate and of the intrinsic properties of the material. Computational applications and examples are illustrated which describe the rate-dependency of the elasto/viscoplastic material behavior. The More >
