ABSTRACTThe determination of plastic properties of metallic materials by nanoindentation requires the analysis of the indentation process and the evaluation methods. Particular effects on the nanoscale, like the indentation size effect or piling up of the material around the indentation, need to be considered. Nanoindentation experiments were performed on conventional grain sized (CG) as well as on ultrafine-grained (UFG) copper and brass. The indentation experiments were complemented with finite element simulations using the monotonic stress-strain curve as input data. All indentation tests were carried out using cube-corner and Berkovich geometry and thus different amount of plastic strain was applied to the material, according to Tabors theory. We find an excellent agreement between simulations and experiments for the UFG materials from which a representative strain of εB ≈ 0.1 and εcc ≈ 0.2 is determined. With these data, the slope of the stress-strain curve is predicted for all materials down to an indentation depth of 800 nm.

Work Hardening Coefficient

Optical measuring systems provide much more detail on the deformation of the blank in the bulge test than conventional contact height measuring systems. A significant increase in accuracy of the stress-strain curve can be achieved by fitting the surface to more complicated equations than the traditional spherical surface and by considering the local strain data to approximate the curvature for the midplane. In particular an ellipsoid shape is shown to be very accurate in describing the surface of the blank. Contact height measuring systems provide insufficient data to fit a surface to an ellipsoid shape and to establish local strain data. Pragmatic equations are proposed using the work hardening coefficient from the tensile test to approximate the same accuracy in stress-strain curves as obtained by optical measuring systems using the before mentioned evaluation method.

In plasticity theory, the effective stress–strain curve of a metal is independent of the loading path. The simplest loading path to obtain the effective stress–strain curve is a uniaxial tensile test. In order to demonstrate in a plasticity laboratory that the stress–strain curve is independent of the loading path, the hydrostatic bulge test has been used to provide a balanced biaxial tensile stress state. In our plasticity laboratory we compared several different theories for the hydrostatic bulge test for the determination of the effective stress–strain curve for two representative metals, brass and aluminium alloy. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed based on the uniaxial tension test data. It was shown that the effective stress–strain curve obtained from the biaxial tensile test (hydrostatic bulge test) had a good correlation with that obtained in the uniaxial tensile test and agreed well with the analytical and FEA results. This paper may be used to support an experimental and numerical laboratory in teaching the concepts of effective stress and strain in plasticity theory.

Abstract Experimental determination of the elongation at which crystallization commences in vulcanized rubber has been attempted through measurement of density changes by a hydrostatic method. The critical elongation for incipient crystallization appears to depend on the temperature, in approximate accordance with theoretical prediction. Crystallization sets in at an elongation well below that at which the stress-strain curve assumes a steep slope.
