A structure of given geometry is made of a material whose stress-strain rate law is of the form strain rate = B, (stress), where B, and n are properties of the material. The authors set out to consider the effects on the load-rate of deflection characteristics of the structure of changes in the index n. A non-dimensional diagram is used to compare the load-rate of deflection characteristics of the structure for Merent values of n. A recent theorem is quoted which indicates that in this diagram the (closed) curves corresponding to different values of n nest inside each other as n increases. As the curves for n = 1 (which corresponds to linear elasticity) and n+cc (which corresponds to perfect plasticity) may usually be established without mu...
