The plane-strain tension test is analyzed numerically for a material with strain and strain-rate hardening characteristics. The effect of the prescribed rate of straining is investigated for an additive logarithmic description of the material strain-rate sensitivity. The dependency to the imposed strain rate so introduced is shown to have a significant effect on several features of the load-elongation curve such as the attainment of the load maximum, the onset of localization, and the overall engineering strain.

Among all other stress states achievable under plane stress conditions, the lowest ductility is consistently observed for plane strain tension. For static loading conditions, V-bending of small sheet coupons is the most reliable way of characterising the strain to fracture for plane strain tension. Different from conventional notched tension specimens, necking is suppressed during V-bending which results in a remarkably constant stress state all the way until fracture initiation. The present DYMAT talk is concerned with the extension of the V-bending technique from low to high strain rate experiments. A new technique is designed with the help of finite element simulations. It makes use of modified Nakazima specimens that are subjected to V-bending. Irrespective of the loading velocity, plane strain tension conditions are maintained throughout the entire loading history up to fracture initiation. Experiments are performed on specimens extracted from aluminum 2024-T3 and dual phase DP450 steel sheets. The experimental program includes quasi static loading conditions which are achieved on a universal testing machine. In addition, high strain rate experiments are performed using a specially-designed drop tower system. In all experiments, images are acquired with two cameras to determine the surface strain history through stereo Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The experimental observations are discussed in detail and also compared with the numerical simulations to validate the proposed experimental technique


Shear band localizations are studied using a band model involving two polycrystalline aggregates; one representing the material inside the potential band and the other the material outside. Each of these aggregates is assumed to be homogeneously deformed and conditions of compatibility and equilibrium are enforced across the band interfaces. The aggregate constitutive response is obtained from a generalized Taylor polycrystal model, in which each grain is characterized in terms of an elastic–viscoplastic continuum slip constitutive relation, so that no ambiguity arises concerning the choice of active slip systems. Because of the material rate sensitivity a shear band bifurcation is ruled out at achievable strain levels, but localization occurs from the growth of an initial inhomogeneity. Results are presented for imposed loading histories of plane strain tension, biaxial tension and simple shear, both for an initially isotropic aggregate and for an aggregate that has undergone a pre-strain in plane strain compression. Depending on the material properties, the initial conditions and the imposed deformation state, either (i) localization, in the sense of a very high strain rate concentration in the band, takes place; or (ii) the band strain rate increases rapidly for a short interval and then saturates; or (iii) the initial inhomogeneity does not induce a large strain rate concentration in the band. The initial pre-strain promotes earlier localization in plane strain tension and in simple shear. In biaxial tension, localization occurs earlier for the pre-strained material if the initial imperfection is large, but tends to saturate for smaller imperfections. The effects of variations in imperfection amplitude and material strain rate sensitivity are illustrated.

Under plane stress conditions, most micromechanical and phenomenological models predict a minimum in ductility for plane strain tension stress state. Therefore, the stress state of plane strain tension plays a crucial role in many forming and crash applications and the reliable measurement of the strain to fracture for plane strain tension is particularly crucial when calibrating modern fracture initiation models. Recently, a new experimental technique has been proposed for measuring the strain to fracture for sheet metal after proportional loading under plane strain conditions. The basic configuration of the new setup includes a dihedral punch which applies out-of-plane loading onto a Nakazima-type of discshaped specimen with two symmetric holes and an outer diameter of 60 mm. In the present work, the applicability of the test is extended to high strain rates. High strain rates of about 100/s to 200/s are obtained using a drop weight tower device with an original sensor for load measurements. Quasi static tests are also performed for comparison, keeping the same specimen geometry, image recording parameters and set-up. The effective strains at fracture are compared from quasi-static to high strain rate loading for three different materials, i.e one aluminium alloy and two steels.

Metastable austenitic stainless steels are prone to strain-induced martensitic transformation (SIMT) during deformation at room temperature, as in the case of sheet metal forming processes. SIMT is influenced by chemical composition, grain size, temperature, deformation mode or stress state and strain-rate effects. In this work, uniaxial and plane-strain tension tests were performed in AISI 304L sheet to evaluate the SIMT as a function of strain-rate. Feritscope and temperature in-situ measurements were performed during the uniaxial tensile testing. Digital image correlation (DIC) technique was employed to determine the in-plane surface strains of the plane-strain tension specimen. From the uniaxial tensile and plane-strain tension results, the yield stress increased with the strain-rate in the small strain range whereas a cross-effect in the stress-strain curve is exhibited in the large strain domain. This effect is attributed to the specimen heat generation, which inhibits the SIMT phenomenon. Conversely, plane-strain deformation mode displayed a higher SIMT rate and an improved work-hardening behavior in comparison to the uniaxial tensile straining.

This work presents a new understanding on the deformation mechanics involved in the Nakajima test, which is commonly used to determine the forming limit curve of sheet metals, and is focused on the interaction between the friction conditions and the deformation behaviour of a dual phase steel. The methodology is based on the finite element analysis of the Nakajima test, considering different values of the classic Coulomb friction coefficient, including a pressure-dependent model. The validity of the finite element model is examined through a comparison with experimental data. The results show that friction affects the location and strain path of the necking point by changing the strain rate distribution in the specimen. The strain localization alters the contact status from slip to stick at a portion of the contact area from the pole to the necking zone. This leads to the sharp increase of the strain rate at the necking point, as the punch rises further. The influence of the pressure-dependent friction coefficient on the deformation behaviour is very small, due to the uniform distribution of the contact pressure in the Nakajima test. Moreover, the low contact pressure range attained cannot properly replicate real contact condition in sheet metal forming processes of advanced high strength steels.

An understanding of the plastic deformation behavior of Ti6Al4V (Ti64) is of great interest because it is used in aerospace applications due to its high specific strength. In addition, Ti alloys have limited slip systems due to hexagonal crystal structure; hence twinning plays an important role in plastic deformation. The present work focuses upon the grain size effect on plastic deformation behaviour of Ti64. Various microstructures with different grain size were developed via annealing of Ti64 alloy in α-β phase regime (825°C and 850°C) for 4 hours followed by air cooling. The deformation behavior of these samples was investigated at various deformation temperature and strain rate conditions. Detailed microstructure studies showed that (i) smaller grains undergoes twinning only at low temperature and high strain rate, (ii) large grain samples undergo twinning at all temperatures & strain rates, though the extent of twinning varied.
