In this study, strain hardening and strain rate sensitivity behavior of commercial DP1000 dual phase steel have been examined in detail at temperatures of 25 °C, 100 °C, 200 °C and 300 °C, at strain rates of 0.0016 s−1 and 0.16 s−1. As the strain rate has increased, the yield strength has increased but no significant change in tensile strength and strain hardening coefficient has been observed. As the temperature has increased, the yield and tensile strength has decreased in between 25 and 200 °C but it has showed an increase at 300 °C. The strain hardening coefficient has increased in parallel with temperature increase. It has been seen that the strain rate sensitivity has not been affected by temperature. No significant difference in the hardening rate has appeared in between 25 and 200 °C, but the highest value has been calculated at 300 °C. It has been determined that the fracture behavior has occurred earlier and load carrying capacity on necking has reduced with the increase of strain rate and not significantly affected by temperature.

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a promising material to achieve lightweight automotive components. The effects of the strain rate and configurations of CFRP on dynamic tensile properties have not yet been fully explored; thus, its lightweight benefits cannot be maximized. In this paper, the dynamic tensile properties of CFRPs, tested using two different processes with two different resins and four different configurations, were studied with a strain rate from 0.001 to 500 s−1. The tensile strength, modulus, failure strain, and fracture mechanism were analyzed. It was found that the dynamic performance enhances the strength and modulus, whereas it decreases the failure strain. The two processes demonstrated the same level of tensile strength but via different fracture mechanisms. Fiber orientation also significantly affects the fracture mode of CFRP. Resins and configurations both have an influence on strain rate sensitivity. An analytic model was proposed to examine the strain rate sensitivity of CFRPs with different processes and configurations. The proposed model agreed well with the experimental data, and it can be used in simulations to maximize the lightweight properties of CFRP.

There has been an ever-going need for materials containing excellent mechanical properties, lower density, and improved fuel efficiency in the aerospace industry. To date, Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) are a prime choice for aerospace applications. The components of aircraft are subjected to various mechanical loadings under operating conditions; therefore, an in-depth understanding of material behavior under expected loading conditions is imperative for the meticulous design and manufacturing of these components. To evaluate the tensile behavior of the FMLs containing Aluminum 7075-T6 sheets as a metallic phase was the primary aim of this study. Furthermore, the manufactured composites were treated with the processes including surface de-greasing, mechanical abrasion, and anodizing. In order to perform mechanical characterization, uniaxial tensile tests were conducted at various strain rates 2×10−4 s−1, 5×10−4 s−1 and 8×10−4 s−1. The FMLs were fabricated through vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. The results revealed that FMLs based different combinations of the fiber and metal constituents exhibited a low degree of strain rate-sensitivity. In the case of CARALL, 1.7% increase in tensile strength was observed, and, its tensile strength was increased from 741 MPa to 754 MPa. Whereas, ARALL and GLARE laminates exhibited high degree of strain rate-sensitivity. When the strain rate is increased from 2×10−4 s−1, 5×10−4 s−1 and 8×10−4 s−1 the values are increased in the following patterns: 389 MPa, 411 MPa, and 475 MPa for GLARE laminates, and 253 MPa, 298 MPa 352 MPa for ARALL laminates. Thus, 39% and 22% increase in the tensile strengths were noted for ARALL and GLARE laminates, respectively.

Ceramic materials are commonly used to design multi-layer armour systems thanks to their favourable physical and mechanical properties. However, during an impact event, fragmentation of the ceramic plate inevitably occurs due to its inherent brittleness under tensile loading. Consequently, an accurate model of the fragmentation process is necessary in order to achieve an optimum design for a desired armour configuration. In this work, shockless spalling tests have been performed on two silicon carbide grades at strain rates ranging from 10 3 to 10 4  s −1 using a high-pulsed power generator. These spalling tests characterize the tensile strength strain rate sensitivity of each ceramic grade. The microstructural properties of the ceramics appear to play an important role on the strain rate sensitivity and on the dynamic tensile strength. Moreover, this experimental configuration allows for recovering damaged, but unbroken specimens, giving unique insight on the fragmentation process initiated in the ceramics. All the collected data have been compared with corresponding results of numerical simulations performed using the Denoual–Forquin–Hild anisotropic damage model. Good agreement is observed between numerical simulations and experimental data in terms of free surface velocity, size and location of the damaged zones along with crack density in these damaged zones. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Experimental testing and modelling of brittle materials at high strain rates’.

The dynamic tensile behavior of the twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel with the vanadium carbide is investigated at different strain rates of 10−4, 10−3, 10−2 and 0.05 s−1. Microstructure characterization, carried out using back scatter electron diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), shows a homogeneous face center cubic structured matrix with uniformly dispersed vanadium carbide. The vanadium carbide is controlled by the aging temperature and time. The best comprehensive mechanical properties are achieved when the tested steel is aged at 550 °C for 5 h. With the increase of strain rate, the tensile strength and work hardening rate decrease, and the tested material shows negative strain rate sensitivity. This would be due to an increase in stacking fault energy caused by temperature rise by adiabatic heating, which must suppress the formation of twinning. On the other hand, the strain rate sensitivity is affected by dynamic strain aging (DSA). With the increase of strain rate, the DSA weakens, which causes negative strain rate sensitivity. The tensile strength and strain rate sensitivity value both increase first and then decrease with the increase of vanadium carbide size. This is because the tensile strength is mainly affected by the vanadium carbide. In addition to the vanadium carbide, the strain rate sensitivity is also affected by the amount of solute atom (V and C) during the dynamic strain aging process.

The negative strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of metallic glasses is frequently observed. However, the physical essence involved is still not well understood. In the present work, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) reveal the strong structure heterogeneity at nanometer and tens of nanometer scales, respectively, in bulk metallic glass (BMG) Zr64.13Cu15.75Ni10.12Al10 subjected to fully confined compression processing. A transition of SRS of stress, from 0.012 in the as-cast specimen to −0.005 in compression processed specimen, was observed through nanoindentation. A qualitative formulation clarifies the critical role of internal stress induced by structural heterogeneity in this transition. It reveals the physical origin of this negative SRS frequently reported in structurally heterogeneous BMG alloys and its composites.
