Poisson's ratio, $ν$ =0.3

Plasticity

Hardening:


Yield stress	Plastic strain
200.	0.0000
220.	0.0009
220.	0.0029

Rate dependence parameter, D=40.0

Rate dependence parameter, p=5.0

The rate dependence parameters are as follows for the test that verifies the temperature dependencies:


D=30.0, p=3.0 at 10.0°

The power law is entered as a piecewise linear relationship for the cases in which rate-dependent test data are specified directly.
