The book explores advanced models of macroscopic material behavior, particularly focusing on viscoplasticity in metals and alloys under conditions like high temperatures and strain rates. It presents unified theories that integrate various aspects of inelastic responses into time-dependent equations, addressing phenomena such as creep and stress relaxation. While these sophisticated theories are gaining traction in engineering applications, they have yet to be widely adopted as standard practices in material representation, highlighting the ongoing need for more realistic modeling in engineering design.
