The development of physically-based models of microstructural evolution during hot deformation of metallic materials requires knowledge of the grain/subgrain structure and crystallographic texture characteristics over a range of processing conditions. A Fe-30wt%Ni based alloy, retaining a stable austenitic structure at room temperature, was used for modelling the development of austenite microstructure during hot deformation of conventional carbon-manganese steels. A series of plane strain compression tests was carried out at a temperature of 950 °C and strain rates of 10 s-1 and 0.1 s-1 to several strain levels. Evolution of the grain/subgrain structure and crystallographic texture was characterised in detail using quantitative light microscopy and highresolution electron backscatter diffraction. Crystallographic texture characteristics were determined separately for the observed deformed and recrystallised grains. The subgrain geometry and dimensions together with the misorientation vectors across sub-boundaries were quantified in detail across large sample areas and the orientation dependence of these characteristics was determined. Formation mechanisms of the recrystallised grains were established in relation to the deformation microstructure.

In previous study, it was investigated texture formation behaviour of high-temperature plane strain compression test at 723K, under a strain rate of 5.0. It was found that the main texture component and it was sharpness vary depending on deformation conditions. To clarify the characteristic of texture formation behaviour, it is necessary to investigate at various deformation condition. Therefore, in this study, is investigating the influence or texture formation behaviour and strain, strain rate at 673K. Three kinds of specimens with different initial textures were machined out from a rolled plate having a <0001> texture. The plane strain compression tests were conducted at a temperature 673K, and a strain rate of 5.0, with strain between-0.4 to-1.0. After compression tests, the specimens were immediately quenched in oil. The texture evolution was conducted by the Schulz reflection method using Cu Kα radiation and EBSD. Before the deformation, {0001} of specimen A was accumulated in the center of pole figure. The {0001} of specimen B was accumulated at the RD direction. The {0001} of specimen C was accumulated TD direction. As a result, work softening is observed in all the cases at the true stress – true strain curve for three types of specimens. After deformation, the maximum pole density of increases with increasing strain. In this study, it was found that the stable orientation was (0001)<100> and (0001)<110> during deformation.

Anisotropic deformation behavior of single crystalline Ni3Al-base intermetallic compounds, including Ni3Al single-phase and Ni/Ni3Al two-phase alloys, was systematically studied by the plane strain compression tests. Plastic flow behavior of single phase Ni3Al is strongly dependent on the initial crystal orientation and the flow stress becomes higher with increasing the numbers of the operative slip planes. In the case of the Ni/Ni3Al two phase alloys, the flow behavior is found to be divided into two stages. Such flow behavior is considered to be closely related to the difference in the deformation behavior between Ni solid solution and Ni3Al precipitates.

Peak strength, mechanical behavior, and shear band (SB) of anisotropic jointed rock (JR) were modeled by Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC). The failure criterion of rock was a composite Mohr-Coulomb criterion with tension cut-off and the post-peak constitutive relation was linear strain-softening. An inclined joint was treated as square elements of ideal plastic material beyond the peak strength. A FISH function was written to find automatically elements in the joint. For the lower or higher joint inclination (JI), the higher peak strength and more apparent strain-softening behavior are observed; the failure of JR is due to the slip along the joint and the new generated SBs initiated at joint’s two ends. For the lower JI, the slope of softening branch of stress-strain curve is not concerned with JI since the new and longer SBs’s inclination is not dependent on JI, as can be qualitatively explained by previous analytical solution of post-peak slope of stress-strain curve for rock specimen subjected to shear failure in uniaxial compression based on gradient-dependent plasticity. For the higher JI, the post-peak stress-strain curve becomes steeper as JI increases since the contribution of the new SBs undergoing strain-softening behavior to axial strain of JR increases with JI. For the moderate JI, the lower strength and ideal plastic behavior beyond the elastic stage are found, reflecting that the inclined joint governs the deformation of JR. The present numerical prediction on anisotropic peak strength in plane strain compression qualitatively agrees with triaxial experimental tests of many kinds of rocks. Comparison of the present numerical prediction on JI corresponding to the minimum peak strength of JR and the oversimplified theoretical result by Jaeger shows that Jaeger’s formula has overestimated the value of JI.

A test jig has been developed for the compression of flat plate laminates between parallel dies, making use of an ultra-stiff testing machine. Preliminary experiments have been carried out using this plane strain compression arrangement for a variety of laminates of differing fibre and matrix composition and with different specimen/die geometries. For all of the laminates investigated it was possible to determine a measure of elastic modulus, but strength could only be assessed for unidirectional layups owing to the yield/fracture strength of the steel dies themselves being exceeded for the woven composites. The results obtained compare well with those from the literature using more conventional compression tests.
