Sheet specimens of a PLLA-based polymer have been extended at a temperature near to the glass transition in both uniaxial and planar tension, with stress relaxation observed for some time after reaching the final strain. Both axial and transverse stresses were recorded in the planar experiments. In all cases during loading, yielding at small strain was followed by a drop in true stress and then strain hardening. This was followed by stress relaxation at constant strain, during which stress dropped to reach an effectively constant level. Stresses were modelled as steady state and transient components. Steady-state components were identified with the long-term stress in stress relaxation and associated with an elastic component of the model. Transient stresses were modelled using Eyring mechanisms. The greater part of the stress during strain hardening was associated with dissipative Eyring processes. The model was successful in predicting stresses in both uniaxial and planar extension over a limited range of strain rate.

Age forming is an advanced manufacture technology for forming large aluminum panels. Temperature, initial stress level and pre-strains have a great effect on the formability and performance. The stress relaxation aging behavior of AA7150-T7751 under different temperatures, initial stress levels and pre-strains was studied through stress relaxation tests, tensile tests and TEM observations. The results show that the formability can be improved with the increase of temperature, initial stress levels and pre-strains. Deformation mechanisms during stress relaxation of the material were analyzed on the basis of creep stress exponent and apparent activation energy. The aging precipitates of the studied alloy were not sensitive to the age forming conditions, but drastically coarsened at over aging temperature, which decreased the mechanical properties. In addition, the relationship between stress relaxation behavior and aging strengthening is discussed. Based on the dislocation theory and the modified Arrhenius equation, a stress relaxation constitutive equation considering the initial mobile dislocation density and temperature dependent activation energy was established. This model can predict very well the stress relaxation behavior under various temperature, stress level and pre-strain conditions, with an average error of 2%.

ABSTRACTFree-standing Al thin films were loaded statically and dynamically through the use of a custom-built microtensile system. The system is capable of performing monotonic loading/unloading up to 50 μm/s (10-1/s) and tension-tension fatigue experiments at 100 Hz on 600 μm long, 100 μm wide, and 1 μm thick free-standing Al microtensile beams. Monotonic loading/unloading and stress relaxation experiments have been performed. The microtensile beams show plasticity as well as a relaxation dependence on strain rate and stress level. Displacement controlled tension-tension fatigue experiments have also been performed. A trend of decreasing cycles to failure with increasing displacement amplitude and increasing mean displacement has been noted but requires further experimental exploration.

ABSTRACTHigh tensile stresses develop in passivated aluminum line metallizations on silicon substrates after excursion to elevated temperatures. The principal mechanisms to relax these stresses at room temperature are plastic deformation and grain boundary void growth. It is shown that stress relaxation and void growth are intimately connected.
