Orthotropic strain rate potential for the description of anisotropy in tension and compression of metals

In this paper, a macroscopic anisotropic strain rate potential, which can describe both the anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry of the plastic response of textured metals is derived. This strain rate potential is the exact work-conjugate of the anisotropic stress potential CPB06 of . Application of the developed strain rate potential to HCP high-purity alpha-titanium is presented.
