During hot working, deformation of metals such as copper or austenitic steels involves features of both diffusional flow and dislocation motion. As such, the true stress-true strain relationship depends on the strain rate. At low strain rates (or high temperatures), the stress-strain curve displays an oscillatory behavior with multiple peaks. As the strain rate increases (or as the temperature is reduced), the number of peaks on the stress-strain curve decreases, and at high strain rates, the stress rises to a single peak before settling at a steady-state value. It is understood that dynamic recovery is responsible for the stress-strain behavior with zero or a single peak, whereas dynamic recrystallization causes the oscillatory nature. In the past, most predictive models are based on either modified Johnson-Mehl-Avrami kinetic equations or probabilistic approaches. In this work, a delay differential equation is utilized for modeling such a stress-strain behavior. The approach takes into account for a delay time due to diffusion, which is expressed as the critical strain for nucleation for recrystallization. The solution shows that the oscillatory nature depends on the ratio of the critical strain for nucleation to the critical strain for completion for recrystallization. As the strain ratio increases, the stress-strain curve changes from a monotonic rise to a single peak, then to a multiple peak behavior. The model also predicts transient flow curves resulting from strain rate changes.

Observations are reported on the stress–strain behavior at −9.5 ± 0.5 °C of four types of ice obtained from the St. Lawrence River. The ice was subject to nominal rates of strain covering the range 2.1 × 10−5 min−1 to 5.8 × 10−2 min−1. A ductile-to-brittle transition was observed for strain rate of about 10−2 min−1. In the ductile range the four types had an upper yield stress that increased with strain rate according to a power law.

The present paper is concerned with constitutive modeling of the compressive stress-strain behavior of selected polymers at strain rates from 10-3 to 103/s using a modified Ramberg-Osgood equation. High strain-rate compressive stress-strain curves up to strains of nearly 0.08 for four different commercially available extruded polymers were determined on the standard split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The low and intermediate strain-rate compressive stress-strain relations were measured in an Instron testing machine. Six parameters in the modified Ramberg-Osgood equation were determined by fitting to the experimental stress-strain data using a least-squares fit. It was shown that the monotonic compressive stress-strain behavior over a wide range of strain rates can successfully be described by the modified Ramberg-Osgood constitutive model. The limitations of the model were discussed.

The impact deformation behavior and the strain sensitivity of structural adhesives are experimentally investigated by using INSTRON-type universal testing machine and split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus. The experimental results show some fundamental features of the typical compressive stress-strain behavior of polymers with linear elastic and nonlinear inelastic deformation stages. In the inelastic deformation, the peak stress, and the strain-softening stage after the peak can be observed at the entire range of strain-rate from 10-4 to 103 /s. In addition, it can be found that the relationship between the peak stress at the strain-softening stage and strain-rate for a semi-logarithm curve is linear in a range of low strain rate, however, that becomes nonlinear at high strain rate. Finally, some constitutive models try to be applied for to describe the stress-strain behavior of structural adhesives.

The stress–strain behavior of frozen Manchester fine sand has been measured in a high-pressure low-temperature triaxial compression testing system developed for this purpose. This system incorporates DC servomotor technology, lubricated end platens, and on-specimen axial strain devices. A parametric study has investigated the effects of changes in strain rate, confining pressure, sand density, and temperature on behavior for very small strains (0.001%) to very large (> 20%) axial strains. This paper presents constitutive behavior for strain levels up to 1%. On-specimen axial strain measurements enabled the identification of a distinct upper yield stress (knee on the stress–strain curve) and a study of the behavior in this region with a degree of precision not previously reported in the literature. The Young's modulus is independent of strain rate and temperature, increases slightly with sand density in a manner consistent with Counto's model for composite materials, and decreases slightly with confining pressure. In contrast, the upper yield stress is independent of sand density, slightly dependent on confining pressure (considered a second order effect), but is strongly dependent on strain rate and temperature in a fashion similar to that for polycrystalline ice. Key words : frozen sand, high-pressure triaxial compression, strain rate, temperature, modulus, yield stress.
