The biaxial deformation behavior of HY 80 steel has been examined by testing thin wall tubes under combined axial tension and internal pressure. The effective stress-strain curves and the hardening response have been found to vary with the stress state. The plastic strain ratio at a given stress ratio deviates from the von Mises value except at the stress states near uniaxial tension, plane strain and equi-biaxial tension. Using Drucker theory, these deviations are eliminated and the resulting yield locus is in good agreement with both the Bishop-Hill theory and the experimental results. Influenced by the tube geometry, the instability strains at the onset of diffuse necking are decreased by an increase in hoop tension. The diffuse necking strains are reasonably predicted by the Swift and the Lankford-Saibel/Mellor criteria.

The yielding and fracture characteristics of Zircaloy-2 as a function of stress state were investigated at room temperature through the medium of thin-walled cylindrical specimens under internal pressure and axial tension. Stress states from uniaxial longitudinal tension to uniaxial tangential tension were examined. Two tests at elevated temperature were performed at a single stress ratio. It was found that the fracture ductility lessened with increasing biaxiality. A minimum in ductility was found at balanced biaxial tension where the fracture ductility, as expressed by the effective strain, was 29 per cent. The yielding and plastic flow properties were found to be highly anisotropic. Two methods were used to express the plastic flow data: a graphical approach and a theoretical analysis based on a theory proposed by R. Hill, either one of which is suitable to express the flow properties of Zircaloy-2 under various states of combined stress.

The comprehension of the anisotropy impacts on mechanical properties of the rolled steel sheets was investigated using a non-quadratic anisotropic yield function. In this study, experimental and modelling determination of behavior of an industrial rolled sheets for a DIN 1623 St14 steel were carried out. The yield stresses and Lankford r-values in uniaxial were experimentally determined but the balanced biaxial tension stress states and rb were assumed. The parameters of the associated yield equation, derived from the three orthotropic yield functions proposed by Hill48 and Yld2000-2d, were determined. Predictions and the evolution of normalized yield stress and normalized Lankford parameters (plastic strain ratio) obtained by the presented investigative are considered. In order to describe the path of equivalent plastic behavior, the isotropic hardening function is described using the following various empirical standard formulae based on: Hollomon, Ludwick, Swift and Voce model.

As part of a comprehensive study of microstructural and mechanical response of metals to uniaxial and biaxial deformations, the development of substructure in 1100 A1 has been studied over a range of plastic strain for two stress states.Specimens of 1100 aluminum annealed at 350 C were tested in uniaxial (UT) and balanced biaxial tension (BBT) at room temperature to different strain levels. The biaxial specimens were produced by the in-plane punch stretching technique. Areas of known strain levels were prepared for TEM by lapping followed by jet electropolishing. All specimens were examined in a JEOL 200B run at 150 and 200 kV within 24 to 36 hours after testing.The development of the substructure with deformation is shown in Fig. 1 for both stress states. Initial deformation produces dislocation tangles, which form cell walls by 10% uniaxial deformation, and start to recover to form subgrains by 25%. The results of several hundred measurements of cell/subgrain sizes by a linear intercept technique are presented in Table I.

Hot rolled 260MPa grade high strength Nb-IF steel sheet was used to study the effect of coiling temperature and cold reduction ratio on the microstructures and mechanical properties. The experimental results showed that the recrystallization has finished. Under 650°Ccoiling temperature and 75% cold reduction ratio, and under 600°C or 700°C coiling temperature and 65% cold reduction ratio, the plastic strain ratio r value and the strain hardening exponent n value were reached the maximum, and respectively, the r value was approximate 1.8, the n value was approximate 0.26. That obtains optimally match of high strength and punching property.

Abstract A loading function is a relation between combined stresses for which the beginning of plastic flow takes place. The loading function for a given material is different depending upon the initial plastic strains produced. That is, the initial stress or strain history influences the subsequent loading function. This paper gives the results of an experimental investigation to determine the validity of certain loading functions proposed for anisotropic materials. The study reported was conducted for an aluminum alloy 24S-T and the state of stress covered was biaxial tension. These stresses were produced in the usual way by subjecting thin-walled tubular specimens to axial tension and internal pressure. The test results showed that none of the existing loading functions is adequate for interpreting the plastic stress-strain relations obtained. Tests also were made to determine the change in the loading function with increase in plastic flow. It was found that the loading function did not remain symmetrical with respect to the original function, nor was the new loading function the same as the original except for a shift of origin. However, the test results support in a qualitative way the concept of the so-called “yield corner.”

Variety of metals are complex materials exhibiting various behavior under different loading. Many metallic materials exhibit Tresca-like behavior rather than von Mises. It means different behavior in tension under plane strain and uniaxial stress conditions. This might be described by Lode dependent plasticity which should result in better prediction in force or torque responses of material tests. Good agreement between computation and experiment is also very important when calibrating the ductile fracture criteria. Several tests under plane strain and uniaxial stress states were carried out on aluminum alloy 2024-T351 where the Lode dependency was significant. The Lode dependent plasticity was implemented along with von Mises and Tresca-like yield criteria, which resulted in improvement of force–displacement responses of plane strain tests simulations. But it also caused significant change in the stress state of tensile flat and grooved plates which wrongly approached uniaxial tension condition. This inconvenience prevents plane strain experiments from using for calibration of ductile fracture criteria under these circumstances.

Al-Mg alloys developed for auto body sheets with different Cu contents were fabricated in the laboratory scale. The effects of Cu content on the microstructures, formability and Portevin–Le Chatelier(PLC) effect of the alloys were investigated by polarizied optical microscopy and room temperature tensile testing. It has been found that with increasing Cu content, there was little change of the strain hardening exponent, but the plastic strain ratio and limiting drawing ratio increased firstly and then decreased. A quantitative statistical analysis of the characteristics of the PLC effect was made, including the stress drop and the reloading time, which follow a common linear relationship with plastic strain, and the increase rate of stress drop and reloading time was bigger with more Cu content. A detailed discussion of the corresponding mechanism of Cu and Cu-containing precipitates on the dynamic strain aging(DSA) was made.

This paper investigated the performance of actively confined geopolymer concrete (GPC) through experiments. The mechanical properties of GPC under triaxial stress states were analyzed and discussed from the prospects of failure modes, axial peak stress and strain, monotonic and cyclic constitutive relationships. The experimental results demonstrated that the loading modes (monotonic loading and cyclic loading) had little effect on the failure mode and axial peak stress and strain. The improvement of the strength and ductility of GPC with the increase in confinement level was consistent with that of the conventional cement concrete while the strain enhancement of confined GPC was lower than that of confined conventional cement concrete at the same confinement level. The curves of the monotonic stress–strain and the envelop of cyclic compression were predicted through Mander’s model with good accuracy. The unloading/reloading models proposed by Lokuge were modified and the predicted cyclic hysteresis curves for actively confined GPC were in good agreement with the cyclic compression results. Findings from this study provide references for the application of geopolymer concrete.

Presence of cut-outs of different shapes is inevitable and is many times considered to be a desirable feature for the design of light-weight components. However, the presence of such cut-outs induces highly localized stresses in their vicinity which cannot be resolved using analytical relations and elementary equations of the strength of materials. In the recent years, FEM has evolved as a crucial tool for handling such problems with reduced degree of complexity. The present investigation is aimed at studying the effect of various geometrical parameters and loading scenarios on the SCF induced in an infinite plate in presence of rectangular cut-out with filleted corners. In the first step, the model was subjected to uniaxial load and the obtained values of SCF exhibited good agreement with analytical values. The model was further subjected to systematically varied stress states and geometrical parameters in order to study their effect on the SCF.
