Summary

A parametric study is carried out to investigate the influence of the elastic stiffness on the deformation history of a rectangular specimen under tension. Plane-strain condition is assumed, and two solutions differing by their elastic moduli are compared in the finite-strain range. The material behaviour is taken as elastic-viscoplastic and diffuse type necking deformations are triggered by an initial geometric defect. The resulting nonhomogeneous stress states are shown to be sensitive to the value of the elastic stiffness.
