Abstract Nanofillers can be added to polymers to improve their mechanical behavior. However, the yield behaviour of most polymer composites is influenced by strain rate. The majority of the research focused on the behaviour of polymer composites at high strain rates. This work aims to investigate how hydroxyapatite (HAP) and reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) nanofillers affect the mechanical properties of sulphonated polyetheretherketone (sPEEK) at low (tensile and compression behaviour) and high strain rates (compression behaviour). The thermal, mechanical, and energy absorption responses of sPEEK filled with HAP and varying mass fraction (Mf) of rGO (0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%) at different strain are studied in detail. The strong strain rate effect was seen in HAp and rGO loaded sPEEK composites. The strain rate sensitivity factor of sPEEK-HAP/rGO improved as the strain rate increased, but decreased when the Mf of rGO increased. Under low strain rate compression, HAp and rGO loaded sPEEK absorbed more energy at Mf about 4%. SEM micrography was used to study the microstructures of the fractured interfaces of the components, revealing that the HAp and sPEEK materials formed a good compatibility in presence of rGO.

This study investigated strain-rate sensitivity (SRS) in an as-extruded AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy with grain size of about 10 mm. Although the alloy shows negligible SRS at strain rates of >10-5 s-1 at room temperature, the exponent increased by one order from 0.008 to 0.06 with decrease of the strain rate down to 10-8 s-1. The activation volume (V) was evaluated as approximately 100b3 at high strain rates and as about 15b3 at low strain rates (where b is the Burgers vector). In addition, deformation twin was observed only at high strain rates. Because the twin nucleates at the grain boundary, stress concentration is necessary to be accommodated by dislocation absorption into the grain boundary at low strain rates. Extrinsic grain boundary dislocations move and engender grain boundary sliding (GBS) with low thermal assistance. Therefore, GBS enhances and engenders SRS in AZ31 Mg alloy at room temperature.

Analysis Techniques

One of the most striking manifestations of instability in solid mechanics is the localization of shear strain into narrow bands during high speed, plastic deformations of metals. According to one theory, the formation of shear bands is attributed to effective strain-softening response, which results at high strain rates as the net outcome of the influence of thermal softening on the, normally, strain-hardening response of metals. Our objective is to review some of the insight obtained by applying nonlinear analysis techniques on simple models of nonlinear partial differential equations simulating this scenario for instability. First, we take up a simple system, intended as a paradigm, that describes isothermal shear deformations of a material exhibiting strain softening and strain-rate sensitivity. As it turns out, for moderate amounts of strain softening strain-rate sensitivity exerts a dissipative effect and stabilizes the motion. However, once a threshold is exceeded, the response becomes unstable and shear strain localization occurs. Next, we present extensions of these results to situations where explicit thermal effects are taken into account.

Cook Model

The stress-strain curves, mechanical behaviors, and Johnson-Cook model of 4Cr13 stainless steel were investigated at both the strain rates from 0.001s-1 to 7000s-1 and the temperatures from 293K to 673K based on the electronic universal testing machine and the split Hopkinson bar. The results showed that 4Cr13 stainless steel was very sensitive to the temperature and the strain rate. The temperature sensitivity factor decreased with increasing the temperature, and the strain rate sensitivity factor increased with increasing the strain rate. Both the temperature sensitivity factor and strain rate sensitivity factor decreased with increasing strain. The flow stress increased with strain rate and strain, but decreased with temperature. The J-C model prediction had a good agreement with the experimental stress-strain in the wide range of temperatures and strain rates. The Johnson-Cook model gave the foundation for finite element analysis during the cutting process.

Rate Behaviour

An investigation into the mechanical behaviour of iron and nickel at high strain rates is carried out, using a split Hopkinson bar method. Some special adaptations, a correction method for the effects arising from the adiabatic conditions of dynamic deformation and a simplified data processing procedure are described in detail. The test conditions covered a range of strain rates between 500 and about 10 000/s and temperatures from 20 to 500°C. For both metals, the results are presented by means of a family of true stress-true strain curves. The strong strain rate sensitivity at high strain rates indicates that the rate controlling mechanism differs from that operative at ‘static’ strain rates.

The mechanical behavior of an AZ31 magnesium alloy processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) was evaluated by tensile testing from room temperature up to 473 K at strain rates between 10-5 – 10-2 s-1. Samples tested at room temperature and at high strain rates at 373 K failed without any plastic deformation. However, significant ductility, with elongations larger than 200%, was observed at 423 K and 473 K and at low strain rates at 373 K. The high elongations are attributed to a pronounced strain hardening and a high strain rate sensitivity. The results agree with reports for a similar alloy processed by severe plastic deformation. However, the level of flow stress is lower and the strain rate sensitivity and the elongations are larger than observed in this alloy processed by conventional thermo-mechanical processing.

Strain Rate Change

Experimental results on the high strain rate response of polycrystalline metals are reviewed, with emphasis on the behavior of pure metals. A strong increase in flow stress with increasing strain rate is reported for strain rates of approximately 105s−1 and higher. This increase is observed in pressure-shear plate impact experiments at nominally constant strain rates from 105s−1 to 106s−1. To improve understanding of the increased rate sensitivity at high strain rates, pressure-shear, strain-rate-change experiments have been conducted on OFHC copper specimens. These experiments have been analyzed using a conventional viscoplasticity formulation and an internal variable formulation in which the hardening rate depends on the rate of deformation. Only the latter formulation is successful in describing the observed response to the change in strain rate. This observation is discussed in terms of its implications for interpreting other dynamic plasticity experiments and for improved understanding of the underlying dislocation mechanisms. The enhanced rate sensitivity at high strain rates is concluded to be related primarily to the rate sensitivity of strain hardening, not the rate sensitivity of the flow stress at constant structure.
