is now g e n e r a l l y accepted that the p l a s t i c d e f o r m a t i o n of m e t a l s is t h e r m a l l y a c t i v a t e d and that the flow s t r e s s i s composed of a r e l a t i v e l y a t h e r m a l c o m ponent (7i) , and a t h e r m a l c o m p o n e n t (7*). The a t h e r real c o m p o n e n t is dependent on t e m p e r a t u r e only through the s h e a r modulus, w h e r e a s the t h e r m a l c o m ponent is both t e m p e r a t u r e and s t r a i n - r a t e dependent. T h e r e f o r e , the s h e a r s t r e s s (r) at any point along the s h e a r s t r e s s - s h e a r s t r a i n c u r v e can be e x p r e s s e d as: 1
