The flow behavior of metastable β titanium alloy was investigated basing on isothermal hot compression tests performed on Gleeble 3800 thermomechanical simulator at near and above β transus temperatures. The flow stress curves were obtained for deformation temperature range of 800–1100 °C and strain rate range of 0.01–100 s−1. The strain compensated constitutive model was developed using the Arrhenius-type equation. The high correlation coefficient (R) as well as low average absolute relative error (AARE) between the experimental and the calculated data confirmed a high accuracy of the developed model. The dynamic material modeling in combination with the Prasad stability criterion made it possible to generate processing maps for the investigated processing temperature, strain and strain rate ranges. The high material flow stability under investigated deformation conditions was revealed. The microstructural analysis provided additional information regarding the flow behavior and predominant deformation mechanism. It was found that dynamic recovery (DRV) was the main mechanism operating during the deformation of the investigated β titanium alloy.

The physical properties—including density, glass transition temperature (Tg), and tensile properties—of polybutadiene (PB), polystyrene (PS) and poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene: SBS) block copolymer were predicted by using atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. At 100 K, for PB and SBS under uniaxial tension with strain rate ε ˙ = 1010 s−1 and 109 s−1, their stress–strain curves had four features, i.e., elastic, yield, softening, and strain hardening. At 300 K, the tensile curves of the three polymers with strain rates between 108 s−1 and 1010 s−1 exhibited strain hardening following elastic regime. The values of Young’s moduli of the copolymers were independent of strain rate. The plastic modulus of PS was independent of strain rate, but the Young’s moduli of PB and SBS depended on strain rate under the same conditions. After extrapolating the Young’s moduli of PB and SBS at strain rates of 0.01–1 s−1 by the linearized Eyring-like model, the predicted results by MD simulations were in accordance well with experimental results, which demonstrate that MD results are feasible for design of new materials.

Some results of an experimental study on high strain rate deformation of TC21 alloy are discussed in this paper. Cylindrical specimens of the TC21 alloys both in binary morphology and solution and aging morphology were subjected to high strain rate deformation by direct impact using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The deformation process is dominated by both thermal softening effect and strain hardening effect under high strain rate loading. Thus the flow stress doesn’t increase with strain rate at the strain hardening stage, while the increase is obvious under qusi-static compression. Under high strain rate, the dynamic flow stress is higher than that under quasi-static and dynamic flow stress increase with the increase of the strain rate, which indicates the strain rate hardening effect is great in TC21 alloy. The microstructure affects the dynamic mechanical properties of TC21 titanium alloy obviously. Under high strain rate, the solution and aging morphology has higher dynamic flow stress while the binary morphology has better plasticity and less prone to be instability under high strain rate condition. Shear bands were found both in the solution and aging morphology and the binary morphology.
