AbstractNi3(Al,Ta) single crystals have been deformed in compression in the temperature range of the flow stress anomaly (293–780K). The strain-rate sensitivity (SRS) of the flow stress has been characterised by using a technique of repeated stress relaxations that allows for the measurement of the true (or effective) activation volume (Veff). When measured at the conventional critical resolved shear stress (CRSS), Veff exhibits as a function of temperature a sharp discontinuity close to 470K. When the temperature is held constant (420K), the discontinuity of Veff occurs along the stress-strain curve at approximately 3% strain; the stress for both discontinuities is approximately the same. These results suggest a change in the rate controlling mechanism that is dependent on stress as much or more than temperature.

This paper describes a fracture assessment method for a pipe having multiple circumferential flaws. According to Fitness-for-Service (FFS) codes for nuclear facilities published by the Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME), the fracture strength of a high-ductility pipe having a circumferential flaw is evaluated using the limit load assessment method assuming the elastic–perfectly-plastic stress–strain relationship. In this assessment, flow stress is used as a proportional stress. However, previous experimental results [1, 2, 3] show that a crack penetrates before the entire flawed pipe section reaches the flow stress. Therefore, stress concentration at a flaw was evaluated on the basis of the Dugdale model [4], and the fracture strength of the crack-ligament was evaluated. This model can predict test results with high accuracy when the ligament fracture strength is assumed to be tensile strength. Based on this examination, a fracture assessment method for pipes having multiple flaws was developed considering the stress concentration in the crack-ligament by using the realistic stress–strain relationship (Ramberg–Osgood-type stress–strain curve). The fracture strength of a multiple-flawed pipe estimated by the developed method was compared with previous experimental results. When the stress concentration in the crack-ligament was taken into consideration, the fracture strength estimated using the Ramberg–Osgood-type stress–strain curve was in good agreement with experimental results, confirming the validity of the proposed method.

300M ultrahigh strength steel has good mechanical properties. It has been widely used in the force bearing components of aircraft. In this paper, By using Gleeble1-500D thermal simulator, we studied the change regularity of stress-strain curve of 300M steel using hot compression deformation when temperature is from 800°C to1100°C, strain rate is from 0.001 S-1to 1 S-1 and the strain is 0.7.The experimental results showed that when the strain rate is constant, the flow stress and the peak stress decrease with the increase of deformation temperature. When the deformation temperature is constant, the flow stress and peak stress increase with the increase of strain rate. From the test, we got the true stress-strain curve, calculated the thermal deformation constants such as the deformation activation energy of 300M ultrahigh strength steel. Eventually, we built the thermal deformation constitutive model in hyperbolic sine form of 300M steel.

AbstractThe strain rate sensitivity ß of the flow stress τ is associated with workhardening and β=(δτ/δln ε) is proportional to the workhardening increment τh = τ - τy, where τy is the strain rate independent yield stress. The temperature dependence of β/τh reflects changes in the rate controlling mechanism. At intermediate and high temperatures, the hardening correlates with the density of [101] dislocations on (010). The nature of the local obstacles at room temperature is not established.

Several of the geotechnical structures constructed with unsaturated soils undergo a large deformation prior to reaching failure conditions (e.g. progressive failure of a soil slope). During this process, the shear stress in soils typically increases initially and then reduces with an increase in the shear strain. The prediction of the stress-strain relationship is critical for reasonable interpretation of the mechanical behavior of those geo-structures that undergo large deformation. This paper introduces a model based on the disturbed state concept (DSC) to predict the variation of shear stress in unsaturated soils during strain-softening process under consolidated drained triaxial compression condition. In this model, the apparent stress-strain relationship is formulated as a weighted average of a hyperbolic hardening response extending the pre-peak state stress-strain curve and a linear response extending the critical state stress-strain curve with an assumed disturbance function as the weight. The prediction procedure is described in detail and the proposed model is validated using several sets of published data on unsaturated soils varying from coarse- to fine-grained soils. Finally, a comprehensive error analysis is undertaken based on an index of agreement approach.

The present work deals with studies on the dynamic behavior of ultrafine grained AA2519 alloy synthesized via cryogenic forging (CF) and room temperature forging (RTF) techniques. A split-Hopkinson pressure bar was used to perform high strain rate tests on the processed samples and the microstructures of the samples were characterized before and after impact tests. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) maps demonstrated a significant grain size refinement from ~740 nm to ~250 nm as a result of cryogenic plastic deformation showing higher dislocation densities and stored strains in the CF sample when compared to the RTF sample. This microstructure modification caused the increase of dynamic flow stress in this alloy. In addition, the aluminum matrix of the CF alloy is more densely populated with fragmented particles than the RTF alloy due to the heavier plastic deformation applied to the cryogenically forged alloy. The results obtained from the stress–strain curve for the RTF sample showed intense thermomechanical instabilities in the RTF sample which led to a severe thermal softening and the subsequent sharp drop in the flow stress. However, no significant decrease was observed in the stress–strain curve of the CF alloys with ultrafine grains which means that thermal softening would probably not be the most effective failure mechanism. Furthermore, higher level of sensitivity of CF alloys to strain rates was observed which is ascribed to transition of rate-controlling plastic deformation mechanisms. In the post-mortem microstructure investigation, deformed and transformed adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) were identified on the RTF alloy when the strain rate is over 4000 s−1 at which it had experienced a significant thermal softening. On the other hand, circular path and aligned split arcs are the various shapes of the deformed ASB seen at no earlier than 4500 s−1 in the CF alloys. This is associated with the crack failure caused by grain boundary sliding.

Abstract The fundamental equations for the drawing of tubing with a moving mandrel have been solved for the simplified cases of both cold-drawing and hot-drawing of thin-walled tubing through a stationary die. For the solution of the fundamental equation, a method of successive improvement can be used for any contour of the tools and any shape of the stress-strain curve. Algebraic solutions were developed for tapered tools and for a metal exhibiting a constant flow stress in cold-working, and for a metal with the flow stress depending exponentially upon the strain rate in hot-working. The effects of the die and punch contours and the friction coefficients between the metal and the die and punch, respectively, on the stresses in the metal, the draw forces, and the limits of drawing were determined. The calculations reveal that, with a small die angle and high friction on the mandrel, the process resembles extrusion rather than drawing, the limit being determined by the strength of the die rather than by the tensile strength of the metal.
