The equation for plastic strain rate in the Bodner-Partom viscoplastic formulation is integrated under conditions of uniaxial stress, constant plastic strain rate, and isotropic hardening to give an analytical expression for the stress as a function of plastic strain and strain rate. Temperature dependence is introduced which leads to a general relationship between stress, strain, strain rate, and temperature. The resulting equation indicates an asymptotic saturation stress whose dependence on strain rate and temperature appears to agree with experimental results. Strain hardening given by the analytical equation also seems to be consistent with experiments. A possible new definition of yield stress is a consequence of the rate dependent stress-strain relation.

A new stress-strain relation capable of reproducing the entire stress-strain range of typical soil tests is presented. The new relation involves a total of five parameters, four of which can be inferred directly from typical test data. The fifth parameter is a fitting parameter with a relatively narrow range. The capabilities of the new relation is demonstrated by the application to various clay and sand data sets.

Abstract A differential stress-strain relation is derived for a medium composed of a face-centered cubic array of elastic spheres in contact. The stress-strain relation is based on the theory of elastic bodies in contact, and includes the effects of both normal and tangential components of contact forces. A description is given of an experiment performed as a test of the contact theories and the differential stress-strain relation derived from them. The experiment consists of a determination of wave velocities and the accompanying rates of energy dissipation in granular bars composed of face-centered cubic arrays of spheres. Experimental results indicate a close agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of wave velocity. However, as in previous experiments with single contacts, the rate of energy dissipation is found to be proportional to the square of the maximum tangential contact force rather than to the cube, as predicted by the theory for small amplitudes.
