where [[sigma]'.sub.ij] = [[sigma].sub.ij] - [1/3][[delta].sub.ij][[sigma].sub.ij] is the deviatoric stress, [~.[sigma]] = [square root of ([3/2][[sigma]'.sub.ij][[sigma]'.sub.ij])] is the equivalent stress or flow stress, [~.[epsilon]] = [square root of ([2/3][[epsilon].sub.ij][[epsilon].sub.ij])] is equivalent strain, and [[??].[epsilon]] = [square root of ([2/3][dot.[epsilon].sub.ij][dot.[epsilon].sub.ij])] is the equivalent strain rate.
