From The Standard Linear Solid To The Viscoplasticity Theory Based On Overstress

The overstress concept in viscoplasticity has been introduced in dynamic plasticity by Malvern [1] and for static viscoplasticity by Perzyna [2]. This concept has recently been in use with state variable theories, see Krempl [3]. The usefulness of the overstress concept in explaining unusual and even paradoxical experimental results has been demonstrated by Krempl [4].
