Abstract
Deformation of solids exhibits the dependence on the rate of loading or deformation, i.e. the time- or rate-dependence. However, that dependence was deliberately ignored in preceding chapters. The history of development of the viscoplastic constitutive equation describing the rate-dependence of plastic deformation induced in the state of stress over the yield surface is first reviewed briefly. Then, the viscoplastic constitutive equations falling within the framework of the overstress model are described exhaustively, which would be applicable to the description of deformation for the wide range of strain rate from the quasi-static to the impact loads.
