Strain And Strain Rate

The superplastic behavior of the Zr65Al10Ni10Cu15 glass metallic alloy produced by the powder metallurgy method was examined in the supercooled liquid region. A tensile elongation as large as 750% was obtained at 6.3 × 10−3 s−1 at 697 K. Large strain hardening took place during the course of deformation and systematic trend was observed in the hardening behavior. Plots of stress versus strain and strain rate versus stress at 697 K showed that Newtonian viscous flow governed the plastic flow until the onset of strain hardening. Microstructure and differential scanning calorimetry analyses as well as flow stress versus testing time curves provided consistent evidence that the strain hardening was induced by crystallization. Crystallization was enhanced in the gauge region (deformed region) as compared to the grip region (undeformed region). Crystallization is expected to decrease tensile ductility by decreasing the strain-rate-sensitivity value and increasing the degree of brittleness. Hardening by crystallization, however, can contribute to neck stability if crystallization is enhanced in the neck region. The strain hardening and plastic stability parameters were measured as a function of strain for different strain rates at 696 K. The strain hardening parameter remained highly positive until failure. Because of this, the neck stability parameter (I) could be I < 0 in the entire hardening region. The contribution of hardening by crystallization to neck stability was found to be much more significant than that by grain growth in the superplastic metallic alloys. Reducing the specimen heating-and-holding time was suggested to promote superplasticity deformation without delaying initiation of crystallization. The largest tensile strain in the hardening region where crystallization may be obtained at the strain rates and temperatures where crystallization rate is controlled to be the lowest while maintaining I ≤ 0 throughout deformation.

Superplastic behavior of the Zr65Al10Ni10Cu15 glass metallic alloy produced by powdermetallurgy method was examined in the supercooled liquid region. Stress-strain and stress-strain rate relationships showed that Newtonian viscous flow governed the plastic flow until strain hardening took place. The large strain hardening was proved to a result of occurrence of crystallization during deformation.

The strain rate sensitivity of a variety of materials is known to increase rapidly at strain rates exceeding ∼103 sec-1. This transition has most often in the past been attributed to a transition from thermally activated guide to viscous drag control. An important condition for imposition of dislocation drag effects is that the applied stress, σ, must be on the order of or greater than the threshold stress, which is the flow stress at OK. From Fig. 1, it can be seen for OFE Cu that the ratio of the applied stress to threshold stress remains constant even at strain rates as high as 104 sec-1 suggesting that there is not a mechanism transition but that the intrinsic strength is increasing, since the threshold strength is a mechanical measure of intrinsic strength. These measurements were made at constant strain levels of 0.2, wnich is not a guarantee of constant microstructure. The increase in threshold stress at higher strain rates is a strong indication that the microstructural evolution is a function of strain rate and that the dependence becomes stronger at high strain rates.

The physical properties—including density, glass transition temperature (Tg), and tensile properties—of polybutadiene (PB), polystyrene (PS) and poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene: SBS) block copolymer were predicted by using atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. At 100 K, for PB and SBS under uniaxial tension with strain rate ε ˙ = 1010 s−1 and 109 s−1, their stress–strain curves had four features, i.e., elastic, yield, softening, and strain hardening. At 300 K, the tensile curves of the three polymers with strain rates between 108 s−1 and 1010 s−1 exhibited strain hardening following elastic regime. The values of Young’s moduli of the copolymers were independent of strain rate. The plastic modulus of PS was independent of strain rate, but the Young’s moduli of PB and SBS depended on strain rate under the same conditions. After extrapolating the Young’s moduli of PB and SBS at strain rates of 0.01–1 s−1 by the linearized Eyring-like model, the predicted results by MD simulations were in accordance well with experimental results, which demonstrate that MD results are feasible for design of new materials.

A dynamic loop test method for measuring strain rate-dependent fiber properties was developed. During dynamic loop testing, the fiber ends are accelerated at constant levels of 20.8, 50 and 343 m/s2. The test method is used to study Kevlar® KM2-600, which fails in axial compression due to kink band formation. The compressive failure strain and strain rate at the onset of kink band formation is calculated from the critical loop diameter ( D C), which is monitored throughout the test using a high-speed camera. The results showed that compressive failure strain increases with strain rates from quasi-static to a maximum strain rate of 116 s−1 by a factor of ∼3. Kink angles (φ) and kink band spacing ( D S) were 60 ° ± 2 ° and 16 ± 3 μm, respectively, over the strain rates tested. Rate-dependent mechanisms of compressive failure by kink band formation were discussed.

Rail steel plays an indispensable role in the safety and stability of the railway system. Therefore, a suitable constitutive model is quite significant to understand the mechanical behavior of this material. Here, the compressive mechanical behavior of heat-treated U71Mn rail steel over a wide range of strain rates (0.001 s−1–10000 s−1) and temperatures (20°C–800°C) was systematically investigated via uniaxial quasistatic and dynamic tests. The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus was utilized to perform dynamic mechanical tests. The effects of temperature, strain, and strain rate on the dynamic compressive characteristics of U71Mn were discussed, respectively. The results indicate that the flow response of U71Mn is both temperature-sensitive and strain rate-sensitive. However, the influence of temperature on the flow response is more remarkable than that of strain rate. On the basis of the experimental data, the original and modified Johnson-Cook (JC) models of the studied material were established, respectively. Using correlation coefficient and average absolute relative error parameters, it is revealed that better agreement between the experimental and predicted stress is reached by the modified JC model, which demonstrates that the modified one can characterize the mechanical behavior of the studied material preferably.

The mechanical responses of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy at low temperatures were investigated under quasi-static and dynamic tensile loads using MTS system and SHTB system, respectively. Tensile stress-strain curves were obtained over the temperature range of 153 to 298K and the rate range of 0.001 to 1050 s-1. Experimental results indicate that the tensile behavior of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy is dependent on strain rate and temperature. Yield stress and flow stress increase with increasing strain rate and decrease with increasing temperature. Results also indicate that strain hardening rate of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy is lower at high strain rate, while strain hardening rate varies little with testing temperature. The Khan-Huang-Liang constitutive model was chosen to characterize the tensile responses of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy at low temperatures and different strain rates. The model results coincide well with the experimental results within the tested temperature and rate ranges.

Experimental results on a mild steel are reported from ballistics tests which gave rise to strain rates of up to 105 s−1. A finite-difference numerical technique which incorporates material inertia, elastic-strain hardening and strain-rate sensitivity is used to establish the strain-rate sensitivity constants p and D in the equation, σ4 = σ1 (1+(∊/D)1/ p). The rate sensitivity established in this study is compared with those reported by other researchers.

In order to evaluate dynamic deformation behaviors under high strain rates, Kobe Steel has developed and applied a Split-Hopkinson Bar (SHB) apparatus. This paper discusses the validity of the strain measurements and strain rates measured by this SHB apparatus. The strain waves that propagated in the incident and transmitted bars and the specimen are captured using a high-resolution type high-speed photography in detail. The strain wave propagated many times in the incident and transmitted bars and the specimen when the specimen was not broken. The amount of the deformation of the specimen decreases with the propagation frequency of the incident wave. On the other hand, to improve accuracy at the strain and strain rate calculated by the one-dimensional stress wave theory, Young's modulus, the longitudinal wave speed, and the density were accurately determined. It was understood that the calculation value showed the strain and strain rate captured with the high-speed photography are a good agreement. As a result, the validity of the measurement accuracy of this SHB could be shown.

The high strain shear rate behaviour of Inconel 690 alloy was investigated by using the split Hopkinson torsional bar. The shear strain rates were tested at 900 s−1, 1900 s−1, and 2600 s−1and at temperatures of −100°C, 25°C, and 300°C, respectively. It was found that the dynamic shear behaviour of Inconel 690 alloy was sensitive to strain rate and temperature. The fracture shear strain increased with increasing strain rate and temperature. In addition, the strain rate sensitivity was increased with increasing strain and strain rate but decreased with increasing temperature. Finally, the fracture surfaces were found to contain dimple-like features, and the dimple density increased with increasing strain rate and temperature.

A microstructually motivated, three-dimensional, large deformation, strain rate dependent constitutive model has been developed for a semi-crystalline, blended, thermoplastic olefin (TPO) (Wang, Y., 2002, Ph.D. thesis, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI). Various experiments have been conducted to characterize the TPO and to verify the modeling approach (Wang, Y., 2002, Ph.D. thesis, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI). The model includes a quantitative rate-dependent Young’s modulus, a nonlinear viscoelastic response between initial linear elastic response and yield due to inherent microstructural irregularity, rate and temperature dependent yield with two distinctive yield mechanisms for low and high strain rates, temperature-dependent strain hardening, plastic deformation of crystalline regions, and adiabatic heating. It has been shown to accurately capture the observed TPO stress-strain behavior including the rate-dependent initial linear elastic response; temperature, strain rate, and deformation state-dependent yield; temperature and deformation state-dependent strain hardening; and pronounced thermal softening effects at high (impact) strain rates. The model has also been examined for its ability to predict the response in plane strain compression based on material parameters chosen to capture the uniaxial compression response. The model is predictive of the initial strain rate dependent stiffness, yield, and strain hardening responses in plane strain. Such predictive capability demonstrates the versatility with which this model captures the three-dimensional anisotropic nature of TPO stress-strain behavior.
