AbstractIn this study, static, dynamic and tribological properties of ultrafine-grained (UFG) oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper were investigated in detail. In order to evaluate the mechanical behaviour at different strain rates, OFHC copper was tested using two devices resulting in static and dynamic regimes. Moreover, the copper was subjected to two different processing methods, which made possible to study the influence of structure. The study of strain rate and microstructure was focused on progress in the mechanical properties after tensile tests. It was found that the strain rate is an important parameter affecting mechanical properties of copper. The ultimate tensile strength increased with the strain rate increasing and this effect was more visible at high strain rates$({\dot \varepsilon} \sim 10^2 \;{\rm{s}}^{ - 1} )$. However, the reduction of area had a different progress depending on microstructural features of materials (coarse-grained vs. ultrafine-grained structure) and introduced strain rate conditions during plastic deformation (static vs. dynamic regime). The wear behaviour of copper was investigated through pin-on-disk tests. The wear tracks examination showed that the delamination and the mild oxidational wears are the main wear mechanisms.

The mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained metals processed by equal channel angular pressing is investigated by nanoindentations in comparison with measurements on nanocrystalline nickel with a grain size between 20 and 400 nm produced by pulsed electrodeposition. Besides hardness and Young’s modulus measurements, the nanoindentation method allows also controlled experiments on the strain rate sensitivity, which are discussed in detail in this paper. Nanoindentation measurements can be performed at indentation strain rates between 10-3 s-1 and 0.1 s-1. Nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained fcc metals as Al and Ni show a significant strain rate sensitivity at room temperature in comparison with conventional grain sized materials. In ultrafine-grained bcc Fe the strain rate sensitivity does not change significantly after severe plastic deformation. Inelastic effects are found during repeated unloading-loading experiments in nanoindentations.

Titanium Grade

The nanocrystalline (NC) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) structures of metallic materials can lead to their extraordinary high strength. However, most of the papers on this topic consider deformation parameters of NC and UFG materials only for the case of quasi-static tensile tests. Characteristics of dynamic strength and fracture of such materials remain unexplored. This paper presents a study of the mechanical behavior of pure titanium Grade 4 with a coarse-grained (CG) and UFG structure under uniaxial compression with different strain rates. The UFG structure was provided using the method of equal-channel angular pressing. The dynamic compression was carried out on a setup with the Split-Hopkinson pressure bar. It is found that in the observed range of strain rates 10–3-3×103 s–1, the yield stress of the CG titanium increases by 20%, and does not exceed the yield stress of the UFG titanium. However, the yield stress of the UFG titanium remains close to a quasi-static value. It is shown that these strain-rate dependencies of the yield strength can be predicted by the incubation time approach. The calculated curves show that at strain rates above 104 s–1 the yield stress of the CG titanium becomes higher than the yield strength of the UFG titanium.

The dynamic strain aging (DSA) behavior of SA508-III steel was evaluated through tensile tests with different strain rates from 10-4 to 10-1s-1 at 350°C. The OM, SEM and TEM were carried out to observe the microstructures and fracture morphologies of the steel. The results show that the serrated flows appear in the stress-strain curves when the strain rate is between 10-3~10-2s-1, indicating that DSA occurs. Under the strain rate range, the tensile strength increases and the elongation and the reduction of area decrease. However, the fracture surface of the steel after tensile tests is still ductile. DSA in SA508-III steel at the strain rates from10-3 to 10-2s-1 is mainly caused by the interaction between the internal solute atoms and dislocations, which leads to the dislocations multiplication and the formation of sub-grain boundaries and dislocation cell structure.

ABSTRACTIn this study, the strain rate sensitivity of single crystal NiAl has been investigated by performing tensile tests as a function of temperature and two strain rates. Three crystallographic orientations, [100], [110], and [111] were studied. The tensile test results investigated include yield strength, work hardening rate and plastic strain to failure. The data are discussed in terms of deformation mechanisms in NiAl.

Critical Reduction

Hot tensile tests are performed on a Ni-alloyed steel after solution treating and cooling to test temperatures ranging between 600 and 950°C at strain rates of 3∙10-4and 3∙10-3/s. The critical reduction of area (RA) for damage formation is determined by means of laboratory X-ray computed tomography. The results are compared with the corresponding RA at fracture traditionally used for assessing hot ductility and crack sensitivity during straightening of the slab. We demonstrate that using RA at fracture is inadequate for evaluating hot ductility in the austenite phase region at temperatures varying with the strain rate. Hot ductility curves more relevant for slow strain rate deformation are determined.

Dp Steels

Recent studies on developing dual phase (DP) steels showed that the combination of strength/ductility could be significantly improved when changing the volume fraction and grain size of phases in the microstructure depending on microstructure properties. Consequently, DP steel manufacturers are interested in predicting microstructure properties as well as optimizing microstructure design at different strain rate conditions. In this work, a microstructure-based approach using a multiscale material and structure model was developed. The approach examined the mechanical behavior of DP steels using virtual tensile tests with a full micro-macro multiscale material model to identify specific mechanical properties. Microstructures with varied ferrite grain sizes, martensite volume fractions, and carbon content in DP steels were also studied. The influence of these microscopic parameters at different strain rates on the mechanical properties of DP steels was examined numerically using a full micro-macro multiscale finite element method. An elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model and a response surface methodology (RSM) were used to determine the optimum microstructure parameters for a required combination of strength/ductility at different strain rates. The results from the numerical simulations were compared with experimental results found in the literature. The developed methodology proved to be a powerful tool for studying the effect and interaction of key strain rate sensitivity and microstructure parameters on mechanical behavior and thus can be used to identify optimum microstructural conditions at different strain rates.

In this study, tensile tests of 63Sn/37Pb solder were carried out at various strain rates from 10−5 s−1 to 10−1 s−1 over a wide temperature range from −40°C to 125°C to study the effect of strain rate and testing temperature on the mechanical properties in a systematic manner. Based on these experimental data, a set of empirical formulae was derived by a statistical method to describe the effect of temperature and strain rate in a quantitative manner and explain the variation in the mechanical properties published in other reports. It is concluded that the empirical formulae can be used to characterize the mechanical properties of 63Sn/37Pb over a wide range of temperatures and strain rates.

Equine Hoof

The mechanical properties of fully hydrated equine hoof wall were examined at various loading rates in compact tension (CT) fracture, tensile and three-point bending dynamic tests to determine possible effects of hoof wall viscoelasticity on fracture toughness and tensile parameters. Four cross-head rates were used in CT tests: 1.7 x 10(-5), 1.7 x 10 (-3), 1.7 x 10(-2) and 2.5ms-1; four strain rates were used in tensile tests: 1.6 x 10(-3), 3.2 x 10(-2), 0.33 and 70s(-1). Speeds for the highest test rates were achieved using a large, custom-built impact pendulum. Bending test frequencies ranged from 0.04 to 200 Hz. In CT tests, both the initial modulus Ei and the stress intensity factor K rose with increasing strain rate (from 0.38 to 0.76 GPa for Ei and from 0.71 to 1.4 MN m-3/2 for K), whereas the fracture toughness parameter J remained constant at 12kJm-2. All tensile parameters except ultimate strain were sensitive to strain rate. Ei, total energy to breakage and maximum stress rose with increasing strain rate from 0.28 to 0.85 GPa, from 5.4 to 9.7 MJm-3 and from 17 to 31 MPa, respectively. Data from low-amplitude dynamic tests agreed well with Ei trends from CT and tensile tests. Direction of crack growth differed through the thickness of the wall, the pattern of which resembled a trilaminar ply. Although scanning electron microscopic examination of fracture surfaces revealed a decreasing pseudo-ductile behaviour with increasing strain rate, and ultimate tensile parameters are positively affected, equine hoof wall viscoelasticity does not appear to compromise fracture toughness at high strain rates.

Abstract Ti-6Al-4V alloy is widely used, mainly in aircraft industry, due to its low density, excellent corrosion/oxidation resistance and attractive mechanical properties. This alloy has relatively low formability, so forming parts of complex geometries out of this alloy requires precisely controlled thermomechanical processing parameters. In industrial conditions Ti-6Al-4V alloy is usually processed by forging or extrusion. Ti-6Al-4V alloy is applied for structural parts of aircrafts, which are often exposed to variable loads and high or cyclically changing strain rates. Moreover, Ti-6Al-4V alloy is often used for structural parts providing good ballistic performance. That is why the knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of this alloy under dynamic conditions is important. This work is aimed at the analysis of Ti-6Al-4V alloy behaviour under quasi-static and dynamic deformation conditions. Both dynamic and quasi-static tensile tests were performed in this research. Moreover, ARAMIS system, a non-contact and material independent measuring system providing accurate 2D displacements, surface strain values and strain rates, was applied. The influence of tensile test strain rate on chosen mechanical properties of the investigated alloy was also discussed. The investigations showed a significant influence of processing strain rate on the mechanical behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

With the lightning speed of technological evolution, the demand for high performance yet sustainable natural fibres reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) are rising. Especially a mechanically competent NFPCs under various loading conditions are growing day by day. However, the polymers mechanical properties are strain-rate dependent due to their viscoelastic nature. Especially for natural fibre reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) which the involvement of filler has caused rather complex failure mechanisms under different strain rates. Moreover, some uneven micro-sized natural fibres such as bagasse, coir and wood were found often resulting in micro-cracks and voids formation in composites. This paper provides an overview of recent research on the mechanical properties of NFPCs under various loading conditions-different form (tensile, compression, bending) and different strain rates. The literature on characterisation techniques toward different strain rates, composite failure behaviours and current challenges are summarised which have led to the notion of future study trend. The strength of NFPCs is generally found grow proportionally with the strain rate up to a certain degree depending on the fibre-matrix stress-transfer efficiency. The failure modes such as embrittlement and fibre-matrix debonding were often encountered at higher strain rates. The natural filler properties, amount, sizes and polymer matrix types are found to be few key factors affecting the performances of composites under various strain rates whereby optimally adjust these factors could maximise the fibre-matrix stress-transfer efficiency and led to performance increases under various loading strain rates.
