Non-Classical Problems of Irreversible Deformation in Terms of the Synthetic Theory

The paper is concerned with the generalization of the synthetic theory to themodeling of both plastic and creep deformation. Non-classical problems such as creepdelay, the Bauschinger negative effect and reverse creep have been analytically described;the calculated results show satisfactory agreement with experiments. These problemscannot be modeled in terms of classical creep/plasticity theories. The main peculiarity ofthe generalized synthetic theory consists in the fact that the macro-deformation is highlyassociated with processes occurring on the micro-level of material.
