Polyethylene (PE) pipes have been applied in transportation of key energy medium such as natural gas in the past decades. The mechanical property of PE is of great importance for better design and safer application of PE pipeline system. The large deformation behavior is a key character of PE, not only for its significant strain rate sensitivity, but also for localized necking process after yielding. In this paper, a new constitutive modeling method was proposed to charaterize the rate-denpendent large deformation behavior of PE, in which the true stress is regarded as a function of true stain and true strain rate alone. Uniaxial tensile tests of PE were conducted under various cross-head speeds, and a digital camera was used to record the real-time deformation of specimens. By separating the composite effect into respective effect of local true strain and strain rate on the local true stress in the necking region, a phenomenological model for describing the rate-dependent deformation behavior under uniaxial tension was ealstablished. Model results were validated and found in good agreement with experimental data.

Hot compressive deformation of Udimet720Li alloy was carried out on Gleeble-3500 thermal mechanical simulator. The flow stress behavior of Udimet720Li alloy during hot compression was studied in the temperature range of 1100-1160 and at a strain rate of 0.001-1s -1. The results showed that the flow stress was controlled by both strain rate and deforming temperature. The flow stress decreased with the increase of deforming temperature, while increased with the increase of strain rate. The change of flow stress with deformation thermal parameters was revealed from true stress-true strain curves, and constitutive relationship of Udimet720Li alloy was obtained on the base of Arrhenius equations and the deformation activation energy was calculated.

Using thermal simulator (Gleeble 1500D), the thermal deformation behavior of Cu-P weathering steel containing Cr, Ni, Mo under the conditions of various deformation temperatures and strain rates was studied. The true stress-true strain curves at various thermal deformation conditions were got, and the thermal deformation equation was established. Then the microstructure features of the steel under various deformation temperatures and strain rates were analyzed when the true strains were same. The results show that with the same strains and strain rates, the higher the deformation temperature, the easier the recrystallization occurs, and the greater the size of the recrystal grains. And with the same strains and deformation temperatures, the lower the strain rate, the easier the recrystallization occurs, and the greater the proportion and size of the recrystal grains. Keywords:Weathering steel, Deformation temperature, Strain rate, Thermal deformation equation, Recrystallization

The effects of temperature and strain rate on the thermal deformation-behavior of Cu-P weathering steel were studied by using thermal simulator. And the true stress-true strain curves at different thermal deformation conditions were got. Then the features of the microstructure of the steel under different temperatures and strain rates were analyzed. The results show that with the same deformation dimensions and strain rates, when the deformation temperatures were higher, the recrystallization would proceed much easier, and the size of the recrystal grains could be also larger. And with the same deformation dimensions and temperatures, when the strain rates were lower, the recrystallization could also occur easier, and the proportion and size of the recrystal grains were larger.

A standard uniaxial tensile test, which establishes the engineering stress-strain relationship, in general, provides the basic mechanical properties of steel required by a structural designer. Modern numerical analysis techniques used for analysis of large strain problems such as failure analysis of steel structures and elements metal forming, metal cutting, and so forth, will require implementation and use of true stress-true strain material characterization. This paper establishes a five stage true stress-strain model for A992 and 350W steel grades, which can capture the behavior of structural steel, including the postultimate behavior of steel, until fracture. The proposed model uses a power law in strain hardening range and a weighted power law in the postultimate range. The true stress-true strain model parameters were established through matching of numerical analysis results with the corresponding standard uniaxial tensile test experimental results. The material constitutive relationship so derived was then applied to predict the load-deformation behavior of coupons with a hole in the middle region subjected to direct tension loading. The predicted load-deformation behavior of perforated tension coupons agreed well with the corresponding test results validating the proposed characterization of the true stress-true strain relationship for structural steel.

The hot deformation behavior of spray-formed AlSn20Cu alloy during hot compression deformation was studied, and the constitutive equation of AlSn20Cu alloy was established. The samples of spray-formed AlSn20Cu alloy were compressed on Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation test machine. The error of the true stress caused by adiabatic heating effect in the experiment was corrected. The constitutive equation of spray-formed AlSn20Cu alloy could be represented by Zener-Hollomon parameter in a hyperbolic sine function. The results showed that the deformation temperatures and strain rates had a notable effect on the true stress of the alloy. At the identical deformation temperature, the true stress increased with the increase of strain rate. When the strain rate was constant, the stress decreased with the increase of deformation temperature. After hot compression deformation, the tin phase was elongated along the direction perpendicular to the compression axis with short strips and blocks. With the increase of deformation temperature and the decrease of strain rate, Sn phase distribution became more homogeneous.

AbstractA thorough understanding of hot deformation behavior plays a vital role in determining process parameters of hot working processes. Firstly, uniaxial tensile tests have been performed in the temperature ranges of 150 °C–600 °C and strain rate ranges of 0.0001–0.01s−1 for analyzing the deformation behavior of ASS 304 and ASS 316. The phenomenological-based constitutive models namely modified Fields–Backofen (m-FB) and Khan–Huang–Liang (KHL) have been developed. The prediction capability of these models has been verified with experimental data using various statistical measures. Analysis of statistical measures revealed KHL model has good agreement with experimental flow stress data. Through the flow stresses behavior, the processing maps are established and analyzed according to the dynamic materials model (DMM). In the processing map, the variation of the efficiency of the power dissipation is plotted as a function of temperature and strain rate. The processing maps results have been validated with experimental data.

Uniaxial tensile deformation behavior of 5A90 aluminium-lithium alloy sheet is investigated in the hot forming with the temperature range of 200-450°C and strain rate range of 0.3×10-3-0.2×10-1s-1. It is found that the flow stress of 5A90 Al-Li alloy in uniaxial tension increase with increasing strain rate and decrease with increasing temperature, however, the tendency of total elongation is just the reverse, and the optimum forming temperature is 400°C. The strain rate sensitivity index (m-value) remarkably increases with increasing temperature for a given strain rate. It is shown that 5A90 Al-Li alloy sheet displays the sensitivity to the strain rate at elevated temperatures. For a given strain rate, the strain hardening index (n-value) decreases with increasing temperature, whereas the n-value increases above 350°C. The constitutive equation of stress, strain and strain rate for 5A90 Al-Li alloy at any temperature is obtained by fitting the experimental data, which gave a good flow stress model for the FEM simulation of hot forming.

Variations of a true stress vs. true strain illustrate behaviour of materials during plastic deformation. Stress-strain relationship is generally evaluated by a torsion, compression and tensile tests. Results of these tests provide crucial information pertaining to the stress values which are necessary to run deformation process at specified temperature and cooling rate. Uniaxial compression tests at temperatures below the γ solvus were conducted on nickel based superalloy CMSX-4, to study the effect of temperature and strain rate on its flow stress. On the basis of received flow stress values activation energy of a high-temperature deformation process was estimated. Mathematical dependences (σpl -T i σpl - ἐ) and compression data were used to determine material constants. These constants allow to derive a formula that describes the relationship between strain rate, deformation temperature and true stress.
