The simplest OTF model, in the following named OTF1, assumes to be small, to be small compared to and , and as constant () [36, 49]. Equation (A.1) then simplifies to
| (A.2) |
With only contributing to the total differential
|
and by approximating yields
| (A.3) |
Equating (A.2) with (A.3) finally gives
| (A.4) |
Note the similarity to (2.9) in (A.4). Hence, OTF1 only requires the determination during stress but neglects the mobility reduction described by and .
