High-resolution in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction was applied to study a cold-drawn and solution-treated 56Ni–44Ti wt% alloy subjected to uniaxial cyclic loading–unloading with incremental strains. The micro-mechanical behaviour associated with the partial and repeated B2↔B19′ phase transformation at the centre of the sample gauge length was studied with respect to the macroscopic stress–strain response. The lattice strains of the (110)B2 and different B19′ grain families are affected by (i) the transformation strain, the load-bearing capacity of both phases and the strain continuity maintained at/near the B2–B19′ interfaces at the centre of the gauge length, and (ii) the extent of transformation along the gauge length. With cycling and incremental strains (i) the elastic lattice strain and plastic strain in the remnant (110)B2 grain family gradually saturate at early cycles, whereas the plastic strain in the B19′ phase continues to increase. This contributes to accumulation of residual strains (degradation in superelasticity), greater non-linearity and change in the shape of the macroscopic stress–strain curve from plateau type to curvilinear elastic. (ii) The initial 〈111〉B2 fibre texture transforms to [120]B19′, [130]B19′, [150]B19′ and [010]B19′ orientations. Further increase in the applied strain with cycling results in the development of [130]B19′, [102]B19′, [102]B19′, [100]B19′ and [100]B19′ orientations.

The main purpose with this paper is to show the effect of nitrogen and inoculation on the tensile properties and microstructure of cast iron with lamellar graphite. Casting experiments were performed with the main composition: 3.4 % C, 2.0 % Si, 0.7 % Mn, 0.5 % Cu. The nitrogen content was varied between 90-180 ppm and inoculant was added as 0, 0.2 or 0.4 % by weight. The addition of inoculant changed the graphite structure from distribution D/B/A to distribution A, according to ISO 945. The eutectic cell size decreased significantly. The addition of inoculant had no influence on the hardness. The addition of nitrogen shortened the graphite flakes and increased the hardness. The influence on the eutectic cell size was low and there was no significant effect on the graphite distribution. Tensile test samples were analysed by true stress – true plastic strain in terms of the flow relationships proposed by Hollomon, , and Ludwigson, . The stress-strain curves were fitted to polynomial functions of the 6:th to 8:th order before evaluating the constants in order to eliminate noise from the measurements. This approach also enabled the slope of the stress-strain curve to be evaluated at zero stress (Young’s modulus), resulting in plastic strain from stress levels close to zero. The Hollomon flow relationship failed to describe the deformation behaviour for the whole range of the stress-strain curve. The correction terms in the Ludwigson flow relationship resulted in a better fit. The addition of inoculant mainly affected the strength coefficient, . The addition of nitrogen also affected the constant. The main reason for this was that the addition of inoculant influenced the last part of the stress-strain curve while the addition of nitrogen had an effect over the whole range of the curve. The addition of nitrogen and inoculant increased the tensile strength from 288 MPa to 393 MPa and the total elongation at fracture from 0.8 % to 1.6 %.

Uniaxial experiments were carried out on red sandstone specimens to investigate their short-term and creep mechanical behavior under incremental cyclic compressive and tensile loading. First, based on the results of short-term uniaxial incremental cyclic compressive and tensile loading experiments, deformation characteristics and energy dissipation were analyzed. The results show that the stress-strain curve of red sandstone has an obvious memory effect in the compressive and tensile loading stages. The strains at peak stresses and residual strains increase with the cycle number. Energy dissipation, defined as the area of the hysteresis loop in the stress-strain curves, increases nearly in a power function with the cycle number. Creep test of the red sandstone was also conducted. Results show that the creep curve under each compressive or tensile stress level can be divided into decay and steady stages, which cannot be described by the conventional Burgers model. Therefore, an improved Burgers creep model of rock material is constructed through viscoplastic mechanics, which agrees very well with the experimental results and can describe the creep behavior of red sandstone better than the Burgers creep model.

Abstract In this paper a technique has been developed to determine constant parameters of copper as a power-law hardening material by tensile test approach. A work-hardening process is used to describe the increase of the stress level necessary to continue plastic deformation. A computer program is used to show the variation of the stress-strain relation for different values of stress hardening exponent, n and power-law hardening constant, α . Due to its close tolerances, excellent corrosion resistance and high material strength, in this analysis copper (Cu) has been selected as the material. As a power-law hardening material, Cu has been used to compute stress hardening exponent, n and power-law hardening constant, α from tensile test experiment without heat treatment and after heat treatment. A wealth of information about mechanical behavior of a material can be determined by conducting a simple tensile test in which a cylindrical specimen of a uniform cross-section is pulled until it ruptures or fractures into separate pieces. The original cross sectional area and gauge length are measured prior to conducting the test and the applied load and gauge deformation are continuously measured throughout the test. Based on the initial geometry of the sample, the engineering stress-strain behavior (stress-strain curve) can be easily generated from which numerous mechanical properties, such as the yield strength and elastic modulus, can be determined. A universal testing machine is utilized to apply the load in a continuously increasing (ramp) manner according to ASTM specifications. Finally, theoretical results are compared with these obtained from experiments where the nature of curves is found similar to each other. It is observed that there is a significant change of the value of n obtained with and without heat treatment it means the value of n should be determined for the heat treated condition of copper material for their applications in engineering fields.

Crystal plasticity parameters for numerical simulations are difficult to experimentally measure on the microscopic scale. One possible approach to avoid the difficulty is to determine the parameters that can be used to reproduce the stress–strain curve by employing a polycrystalline aggregate model. In this study, the effect of crystal plasticity parameters on stress–strain curves on a macroscopic scale and on stress distribution on a microscopic scale was investigated by using polycrystalline aggregate simulation. The parameters investigated were initial slip strength (τ0), initial hardening modulus (h0) and saturation slip strength (τs). The effect of these parameters on macroscopic stress–strain curves was found to be the followings: τ0 controls the yield stress or proof stress, and both h0 and τs control the strain-hardening behavior. The effect of these parameters on microscopic stress distribution was also investigated because similar stress–strain curve can be obtained by using different sets of crystal plasticity parameters. Consequently, even if these parameters are slightly different, a similar microscopic stress distribution can be obtained by properly reproducing the macroscopic stress–strain curve.

In situ, observation of twinning and detwinning in magnesium single crystals during tension-compression cyclic loading was made using optical microscopy. A quantitative analysis of plastic strain indicates that twinning and detwinning experience two stages, low and high work hardening de-twinning, and pure re-twinning and fresh twinning combined with retwinning. Slip is always activated. For the first time, inverse slip accompanying with pure retwinning and high work hardening detwinning was experimentally identified, which provides insights in better understanding of the activity of twining, detwinning, and slips.
