This work is concerned with the development of a modeling framework to predict the effects of tempered–untempered martensite heterogeneity on the thermomechanical performance of welded material. A physically based viscoplasticity model for the intercritical heat-affected zone (ICHAZ) for 9Cr steels (e.g., P91, P92) is presented in this work, with the ICHAZ represented as a mixture of tempered and untempered martensite. The constitutive model includes dislocation-based Taylor hardening and damage for different material phases. A sequentially coupled thermal–mechanical welding simulation is conducted to predict the volume fraction compositions for the various weld-affected material zones in a cross-weld (CW) specimen. The out-of-phase cyclic thermomechanical (25 °C to 600 °C) performance of notched and plain samples is comparatively assessed for a range of different tempered–untempered martensitic material heterogeneities. It is shown that the heterogeneity in a simulated CW material is highly detrimental to thermal cyclic performance.

There is a significant challenge in simulating the behaviour of PBXs under high strain rate impact loading. A Porter-Gould physically based constitutive model has been developed for the DPX2 explosive. A series of quasi-static compression and tensile tests over a range of temperatures were performed together with DMA tests to calibrate the model. In particular tests were performed for different L/D ratios to understand the complex localisation and damage behaviour of the material. High rate tests on the compression Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) for a range of temperatures were then used for validation of the model under idealised stress states. Some model development is still required, particularly at lower temperatures near the glass transition temperature. In addition a series of classical Taylor Tests were used to validate the model under impact loading conditions at room temperature. The DYNA3D simulations gave very good results compared to the experiments for these impact conditions.
