The paper investigates the mechanical response of a 3D auxetic structure created on the basis of a unit cell with pre-buckled structural elements to dynamic loading. The aim of the work is to study deformations of the auxetic structure made of an alpha titanium alloy during uniaxial compression at 100 m/s, to evaluate dissipative properties of the structure during high-speed deformation, and to estimate the characteristic time of the metamaterial’s compaction with a relative density of 0.0115. The numerical simulation of the metamaterial at effective strain rate of 2000 1/s has been performed using LS DYNA solver. To describe the mechanical behavior of the titanium alloy in frame elements, we use a model of an elastic-plastic damaged medium, which takes into account the strain rate sensitivity of the plastic flow, temperature changes due to dissipative effects, and the effect of the stress state triaxiality parameter on nucleation and growth of structural damages. The numerical studies have shown that the auxetic effect in the studied metamaterial is retained under high-rate elastoplastic deformation. At a speed of the uniaxial compression of 100 m/s, deformation in the volume of the metamaterial proceeds nonuniformly. Under dynamic loading of the considered auxetic metamaterial, the deformation and fracture modes depend not only on the parameters of the cell geometry, but also on the mechanical behavior of the framework material, as well as on the relative density. This makes it possible to control the deformations of the cells under mechanical stress. Layers of compacted cells are formed near the dynamic loading surface. The instability of the cells of the auxetic metamaterials increases the absorbed energy. The calculated value of the specific absorbed energy under dynamic uniaxial compression reaches 3.4 kJ/kg, and is comparable with the values for frame structures made of Ti-6Al-4V with an equivalent specific mass density. The results indicate the possibility of creating protective structures using auxetic cellular structures on the base of the pre-buckled elements of the rolled metal.

The flow behavior of metastable β titanium alloy was investigated basing on isothermal hot compression tests performed on Gleeble 3800 thermomechanical simulator at near and above β transus temperatures. The flow stress curves were obtained for deformation temperature range of 800–1100 °C and strain rate range of 0.01–100 s−1. The strain compensated constitutive model was developed using the Arrhenius-type equation. The high correlation coefficient (R) as well as low average absolute relative error (AARE) between the experimental and the calculated data confirmed a high accuracy of the developed model. The dynamic material modeling in combination with the Prasad stability criterion made it possible to generate processing maps for the investigated processing temperature, strain and strain rate ranges. The high material flow stability under investigated deformation conditions was revealed. The microstructural analysis provided additional information regarding the flow behavior and predominant deformation mechanism. It was found that dynamic recovery (DRV) was the main mechanism operating during the deformation of the investigated β titanium alloy.

The effect of strain rate and deformation temperature on flow stress of TC18 titanium alloy was studied through heat simulating tests in 760~960 with temperature interval and the strain rate interval in 0.01~10s-1. Relationship model of flow stress versus strain was established and hot deformation mechanics of TC18 titanium alloy was analyzed. The results show that the flow stress reduces obviously as the deformation temperature increases or the strain rate decreases. Dynamic recovery occurs at high strain rate above phase transformation point, while dynamic recrystallization occurs at low strain rate as well as at the temperature below phase transformation point.

The hot deformation behavior of TC27 titanium alloy at the temperatures of 900-1150 °C and the strain rate of 0.01-10 s-1, the height reduction of 70%, was investigated in the isothermal compression test to identify the optimal extrusion parameters. The processing-map of TC27 titanium alloy was constructed based on dynamic materials model (DMM) and principle of Prasad*s instability. The conclusion shows that temperature and strain rate of deformation had a great influence on flow stress. At the beginning of deformation, the flow stress increased quickly with the augment of true strain and decreased slowly after flow stress reaching to the maximum value. Finally, flow stress tended to relatively stable condition. The flow stress decreased with the increase of temperature and increased with the increase of strain rate. The TC27 titanium alloy was sensitive to temperature and strain rate. Processing-map exhibited two peak efficiencies of power dissipation; one peak was 49% at 900°C/0.01 s-1, which dynamic recovery occured. The other peak was also 49% at 1050 °C /0.01s-1, which dynamic recrystallization occured in the domain. Besides, there were two instability areas in the processing-map which should be avoided during the extrusion. Therefore, in order to obtain the satisfactory properties, the parameters that 1050 °C and 0.01 s-1 were selected in the extrusion.

Abstract Cast iron alloys with low production cost and quite good mechanical properties are widely used in the automotive industry. To study the mechanical behavior of a typical ductile cast iron (GJS-450) with nodular graphite, uni-axial quasi-static and dynamic tensile tests at strain rates of 10− 4, 1, 10, 100, and 250 s− 1 were carried out. In order to investigate the effects of stress state, specimens with various geometries were used in the experiments. Stress–strain curves and fracture strains of the GJS-450 alloy in the strain-rate range of 10− 4 to 250 s− 1 were obtained. A strain rate-dependent plastic flow law based on the Voce model is proposed to describe the mechanical behavior in the corresponding strain-rate range. The deformation behavior at various strain rates is observed and analyzed through simulations with the proposed strain rate-dependent constitutive model. The available damage model from Bai and Wierzbicki is extended to take the strain rate into account and calibrated based on the analysis of local fracture strains. The validity of the proposed constitutive model including the damage model was verified by the corresponding experimental results. The results show that the strain rate has obviously nonlinear effects on the yield stress and fracture strain of GJS-450 alloys. The predictions with the proposed constitutive model and damage models at various strain rates agree well with the experimental results, which illustrates that the rate-dependent flow rule and damage models can be used to describe the mechanical behavior of cast iron alloys at elevated strain rates.
