The Constant Volume Hypothesis for the Inelastic Deformation of Metals in the Small Strain Range,

Abstract

In plasticity and creep theory it is generally assumed that inelastic deformations are volume preserving. Available tensile and creep tests were evaluated to see whether the experiments confirm the constant volume assumption. None of the experiments which were done on a variety of structural metals confirmed the constant volume hypothesis. (Author)
