    This paper gives a review of the developments made on viscoplastic constitutive equations based on the concept of internal variables. Additionnal effects, like plastic strain memory, aging and recovery are discussed on the basis of experimental results. Hardening variables and the associated evolution rules, justified by existing experiments but also by some microstructural considerations, are introduced independently. In the last part, an application of these models to the case of an austenitic stainless steel at elevated temperature is presented.Ce document fait la synthèse des développements réalisés sur les lois de comportement viscoplastiques basées sur le concept de variables internes. Les effets supplémentaires d'écrouissage : mémoire de la déformation plastique, restauration, vieillissement, sont discutés sur la base de résultats expérimentaux. Les différentes variables et les lois d'évolutions associées, justifiées par les expériences existantes mais également par des considérations microstructurales, sont introduites séparément. On donne enfin, une application de ces modèles, au cas d'un acier inoxydable à haute température

    Length scale effects on the geometric softening of precipitated single crystals

    No full text
    The understanding of the conditions under which inelastic deformation evolves in precipitated Îł/Îł' single crystal materials requires analytical and numerical frameworks which incorporate both time and spatial-dependent behaviour. In this work, an existing rate-dependent crystallographic formulation is employed to investigate the effect of the normalised length scale associated with the soft Îł channel width on the geometric softening caused by the activation of additional slip systems due to large lattice rotations
