This study reports on modeling the mechanical behavior of high-strength steels subjected to impact loading. The materials studied were steel grades of interest for crashworthiness applications: dual-phase and transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels. The challenges associated with the numerical simulation of impact events involving these materials include the modeling of extensive plastic deformation, particularly the change of material properties with strain rate. Tensile testing was performed at different strain rates on the materials studied. The test results were used to compare and validate constitutive equations that provide a mathematical description of strain-rate dependence of the material properties. The Cowper–Symonds equation and modified variants were examined. The crashworthiness performance of thin-walled sections made of dual-phase and TRIP steels was also investigated. Axial crushing tests were performed at different speeds on top-hat and hexagonal tubes. The experimental results were compared with numerical simulations obtained using an explicit finite element program (LS-DYNA) and the original and modified Cowper–Symonds equations.

Abstract Dogal 600 and 800 DP are high-strength steels with a microstructure that contains ferrite, which is soft and formable, and martensite, which is hard and contributes to the strength of the steel. The designation relates to the lowest tensile strength. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: CS-160. Producer or source: SSAB Swedish Steel Inc. and SSAB Swedish Steel.

Abstract YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 Steels comprise a series of high-strength, cold-rolled steels designed to meet performance and weight-saving objectives. They are an extension of Youngstown's series of hot-rolled high-strength steels (see Youngstown YS-T Steel, Alloy Digest SA-261, March 1971). The YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 steels have minimum yield strengths ranging from 50,000 psi to 140,000 psi. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-331. Producer or source: Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company.

Abstract Bethlehem Lukens Plate (BLP) offers five grades of Spartan high-strength steels with tensile yield strength over 690 MPa (100 ksi). These alloys contain copper for precipitation reactions. They also have improved weldability and toughness compared to ASTM A 514 and A 543 grades. This datasheet provides information on composition, microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming and joining. Filing Code: SA-518. Producer or source: Bethlehem Lukens Plate.
