Modelling of the flow behaviour of wrought aluminium alloys at elevated temperatures by a new constitutive equation by El Mehtedi, M.

“…In this new equation, the applied stress σ was replaced by the sinh(ασ) term, where α was a constant. The revised form of the Hensel–Spittel equation gave an excellent description of the flow curves and of the decrease in the strain rate sensitivity of the flow stress observed, at a given strain, with increasing strain rate. …”
