Abstract
The tensile stress-strain relations are considered in the microstrain region assuming that there exists an anelastic strain whose strain rate dependence varies as the hyperbolic sine of the relaxable strain. The equations giving the stress-strain curves for the cases of loading, unloading, and reloading are derived. The equations are compared with experimental curves obtained using zirconium specimens prestrained at 77°K to obtain an anelastic strain component.
