F. Dobes, THE INFLUENCE OF SUBGRAIN BOUNDARY MIGRATION ON MODELING OF THE RESPONSE TO STRESS CHANGE IN CREEP, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 167(1-2), 1993, pp. 31-36
The composite model of plastic deformation is extended so that the var
iations with time of the volume fractions of hard and soft regions are
taken into account. This is made possible by considering the contribu
tion of subgrain boundary migration to the total strain. It is shown t
hat the extended model can describe successfully the anomalous transie
nt effects observed after an abrupt change in stress, as well as the a
ccompanying changes in substructural quantities.
