UNDER DEFORMATION CONDITIONS THAT RESULTS IN CHANGES IN THE STRAIN PATH, TRANSIENTS CAN OCCUR IN THE STRAIN-HARDENING RATE, LEADING TO SOFTENING OR HARDENING. DURING INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES CHANGES CAN OCCUR IN THE STRAIN PATH, SO IT IS INTERESTING TO STUDY THE PLASTIC FLOW IN THESE CONDITIONS. STRESS-STRAIN CURVES INVOLVING ABRUPT CHANGES IN THE STRAIN PATH ARE PRESENTED IN THIS PAPER. THESE CURVES ARE COMPARED WITH THOSE RESULTING FROM MONOTONIC TENSION AND TORSION TESTS. TWO MATERIALS WERE USED: LOW CARBON STEEL AND BRASS. DIFFERENT BEHAVIORS WERE OBSERVED ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF DEFORMATION AND THE MATERIAL. KEY-WORDS: STRAIN PATH, TENSION, TORSION, MECHANICAL PROPERTIES     Autores : Aguilar, Maria Teresa P. Cetlin, Paulo Roberto 0 Correa, Elaine C.
