ABSTRACTThe characterisation of dislocation mechanisms in connection with macroscopic mechanical properties are usually performed through transient tests, such as strain-rate jumps, load relaxations or creep experiments. The present paper includes a careful and complete theoretical analysis of the relaxation and the creep kinetics. We experimentally show that the plastic strain-rate is continuous at the transition between constant strain-rate conditions and both load relaxation and creep test. The product of the plastic strain-rate at the onset of the transient test () with the characteristic time (tk) of the transient is found to be independent of , as theoretically expected. This is a clear indication that the assumptions underlying the theoretical analysis are relevant.

AbstractResults obtained from tensile and compressive tests on pure ice single crystals at various temperatures down to −90°C are reported. At −50°C tensile creep tests give a continually increasing creep rate until fracture, as observed at higher temperatures. The stress dependence of the strain-rate is discussed. Fracture stress increases with decreasing temperature. Results from constant strain-rate compressive tests are compared with theoretical curves computed from Johnston’s (1962) theory of dislocation multiplication. A dislocation velocity of the order of 0.5×10−8 m s−1 is deduced for ice at −50°C.

Strain And Strain Rate

The mechanical properties of pure iron single crystals and of polycrystalline specimens of a zone-refined iron have been measured in compression over the temperature and strain rate ranges 2.2 to 293 °K and 7 x 10 -7 to 7 x 10 -3 s -1 respectively. Various yield stress parameters were determined as functions of both temperature and strain rate, and the reversible changes in flow stress produced by isothermal changes of strain rate or by changes of temperature at constant strain rate were also measured as functions of temperature, strain and strain rate. Both the temperature variation of the flow stress and the strain rate sensitivity of the flow stress were generally identical for the single crystals ( ca. 0.005/M carbon) and the polycrystalline specimens ( ca. 9/M carbon). At low temperatures, the temperature dependence of the yield stress was smaller than that of the flow stress at high strains, probably because of the effects of mechanical twinning, but once again the behaviour of single and polycrystalline specimens was very similar. Below 10 °K, both the flow stress and the extrapolated yield stress were independent of temperature. The results show that macroscopic yielding and flow at low temperatures are both governed by the same deformation mechanism, which is not very impurity sensitive, even in the very low carbon range covered by the experiments. The flow stress near 0 °K is ca. 5.8 x 10 -3 u where [i is the shear modulus. On the basis of a model for thermally activated flow, the activation volume at low temperatures (high stresses) is found to be ca. 5 b 3 . The exponent in the empirical power law for the dislocation velocity against stress relation is ca. 3 near room temperature, but becomes quite large at low temperatures. The results indicate that macroscopic deformation at low temperatures is governed by some kind of lattice frictional stress (Peierls-Nabarro force) acting on dislocations.

Metal-matrix composites are produced from Al powder and 30 vol% of icosahedral Al–Cu–Fe quasi-crystalline particles using a hot isostatic pressing technique. It is demonstrated that the initial icosahedral phase is transformed into the ω-Al70Cu20Fe10 tetragonal phase during the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process. The mechanical properties of the composite were evaluated over the temperature range 293 to 773 K by performing compression tests at constant strain rate. The temperature dependence of the yield stress gives evidence of two temperature regimes with a transition temperature at approximately 423 K. Strain-rate sensitivity measurements support the change in rate-controlling deformation mechanisms at this temperature. It is proposed that cross-slip and/or climb mechanism control plastic flow. Finally, it is suggested that the phase transformation of the particle contributes positively to the improvement of the mechanical properties.

Tendons are exposed to complex loading scenarios that can only be quantified by mathematical models, requiring a full knowledge of tendon mechanical properties. This study measured the anisotropic, nonlinear, elastic material properties of tendon. Previous studies have primarily used constant strain-rate tensile tests to determine elastic modulus in the fiber direction. Data for Poisson’s ratio aligned with the fiber direction and all material properties transverse to the fiber direction are sparse. Additionally, it is not known whether quasi-static constant strain-rate tests represent equilibrium elastic tissue behavior. Incremental stress-relaxation and constant strain-rate tensile tests were performed on sheep flexor tendon samples aligned with the tendon fiber direction or transverse to the fiber direction to determine the anisotropic properties of toe-region modulus E0, linear-region modulus (E), and Poisson’s ratio (ν). Among the modulus values calculated, only fiber-aligned linear-region modulus E1 was found to be strain-rate dependent. The E1 calculated from the constant strain-rate tests were significantly greater than the value calculated from incremental stress-relaxation testing. Fiber-aligned toe-region modulus E10=10.5±4.7 MPa and linear-region modulus E1=34.0±15.5 MPa were consistently 2 orders of magnitude greater than transverse moduli (E20=0.055±0.044 MPa,E2=0.157±0.154 MPa). Poisson’s ratio values were not found to be rate-dependent in either the fiber-aligned (ν12=2.98±2.59, n=24) or transverse (ν21=0.488±0.653, n=22) directions, and average Poisson’s ratio values in the fiber-aligned direction were six times greater than in the transverse direction. The lack of strain-rate dependence of transverse properties demonstrates that slow constant strain-rate tests represent elastic properties in the transverse direction. However, the strain-rate dependence demonstrated by the fiber-aligned linear-region modulus suggests that incremental stress-relaxation tests are necessary to determine the equilibrium elastic properties of tendon, and may be more appropriate for determining the properties to be used in elastic mathematical models.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the viscoelastic characterization of a highly filled epoxy molding compound commonly used in electronic packaging applications. Both stress relaxation tests and constant strain rate tensile tests were conducted. The material was found to be nonlinear in its viscoelastic behavior and to be amenable to horizontal shifting to form master curves. A representation of the master stress relaxation curves in terms of a Prony series is given, and the use of this representation illustrated in the context of both linear and nonlinear representations of the viscoelastic behavior to predict the results of the constant strain rate experiments.
