description The phenomenon of the strain-rate sensitivity of metallic materials has been a topic of interest since the first mechanical tests at different strain rates were performed. The problem of its theoretical description appeared simultaneously. Despite the significant number of studies covering this issue, it is necessary to rule out a few drawbacks of previously reported models, which is the goal of this work. Herein, an extension of the elastic–viscoplastic model to a generalized state of stress is proposed while aiming to describe the strain rate sensitivity of Armco-iron samples that were pulled in tension within the framework of the finite-difference method. A mathematical model was formulated using equivalent stress and strain, which alleviated the complexity of the relaxation-type constitutive equations. The critical shear stress (CSS) function describes S-type instability with a single equation. The plastic strain rate was calculated based on the well-known Orowan equation, which is related to dislocation dynamics. In addition, the model took the material’s microstructure into account based on the design of a representative volume element (RVE) using the step-by-step packing (SSP) method. The results of the modeling were compared with the available experimental data and were found to satisfactorily correlate with them. The results suggest that the misfit error between the model and experimental data did not exceed 10% in the range of strain rates under study, which is a reliable outcome.
