In this article, quasi-static tensile and dynamic tensile tests of three common bolt materials (three kinds of steels) were conducted, and their stress-strain curves at various strain rates were obtained. By this means, the mechanical properties of three common bolt materials were analyzed. Based on the John-Cook model, author established the constitutive relation models of three materials which could describe their strain rate dependence, and used these models in the numerical simulation. The research show us that bolt material strain rate effect not only could affect the bolt impact strength, but also could not be ignored in the study of impact strength of equipments connected by bolts. The research has great significance to the study of impact resistance strength of equipments and bolts.

The presented research background is a car body manufacturer’s request to test the car body’s components welded from dissimilar steel sheets. In view of the vehicle crew’s protection, it is necessary to study the static and dynamic behavior of welded steels. Therefore, the influence of laser welding on the mechanical and dynamical properties, microstructure, microhardness, and welded joint surface roughness of interstitial free CR180IF and dual-phase DP600 steels were investigated. Static tensile tests were carried out by using testing machine Zwick 1387, and dynamic test used rotary hammer machine RSO. Sheet steel was tested at different strain rates ranging from 10−3 to 103 s−1. The laser welds’ microstructure and microhardness were evaluated in the base metal, heat-affected zone, and fusion zone. The comprehensive analysis also included chemical analysis, fracture surface analysis, and roughness measurement. The research results showed that the strain rate had an influence on the mechanical properties of base materials and welded joints. The dynamic loading increases the yield stress more than the ultimate tensile strength for the monitored steels, while the most significant increase was recorded for the welded material.

AbstractIn this study, static, dynamic and tribological properties of ultrafine-grained (UFG) oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper were investigated in detail. In order to evaluate the mechanical behaviour at different strain rates, OFHC copper was tested using two devices resulting in static and dynamic regimes. Moreover, the copper was subjected to two different processing methods, which made possible to study the influence of structure. The study of strain rate and microstructure was focused on progress in the mechanical properties after tensile tests. It was found that the strain rate is an important parameter affecting mechanical properties of copper. The ultimate tensile strength increased with the strain rate increasing and this effect was more visible at high strain rates$({\dot \varepsilon} \sim 10^2 \;{\rm{s}}^{ - 1} )$. However, the reduction of area had a different progress depending on microstructural features of materials (coarse-grained vs. ultrafine-grained structure) and introduced strain rate conditions during plastic deformation (static vs. dynamic regime). The wear behaviour of copper was investigated through pin-on-disk tests. The wear tracks examination showed that the delamination and the mild oxidational wears are the main wear mechanisms.

AbstractThe effects of physical ageing and prior immersion time on the ESC behaviour of polycarbonate in ethanol were studied. Constant strain rate tensile tests were performed at a range of strain rates for samples with ageing times varying from 100 hours to 3000 hours and for prior immersion times of between 1 hour and 500 hours. Comparison of tests performed in ethanol and in air gave a good indication of the point of craze initiation. The results showed that there was a reduction in strain to crazing as the strain rate decreased, apart from with the lowest strain rate used. A longer prior immersion time also promoted craze formation. Both of these results are attributable to diffusion effects. Physical ageing had little effect on the ESC behaviour, due to the large amounts of deformation encountered in this system.

Abstract In this study, the strain rate sensitivity of a discontinuous short fiber reinforced composite and the strain rate effect on the damage evolution are investigated. The studied material is a polymeric composite with a polyamide 6.6 matrix reinforced with oriented randomly short glass fibers at a 50% weigh ratio (PA6.6GF50). Tensile tests at low and high strain rate are conducted. In addition, interrupted tensile tests are carried out to quantify the damage at specific stress levels and strain rates. To perform the interrupted tensile tests, an intermediate fixture is realized via double notched mechanical fuses with different widths designed to break at suitable stress levels. The damage is estimated by the fraction of debonded fibers and matrix fractures. Based on the experimental observations, it is concluded that the ultimate stress and strain, and the damage threshold are mainly governed by the strain rate. Furthermore, it is established that the considered composite has a non-linear dynamic behavior with a viscous damage nature.

The use of Cu and Ti in Zn alloys improves mechanical properties as solid solution and dispersoid particles (grain refiners) may harden the material and reduce creep deformation. This is one of the main design problems for parts made with Zn alloys, even at room temperature. In this work the mechanical behavior of a Zn-Cu-Ti low alloy is presented using tensile tests at different strain rates, as well as creep tests at different loads to obtain the value of the strain rate coefficient m in samples parallel and perpendicular to the rolling direction of the Zn strip. The microstructure of the alloy in its raw state, as well as heat treated at 250°C, is also analyzed, as the banded structure produced by rolling influences the strengthening mechanisms that can be achieved through the treatment parameters.

Results of uni-axial tensile loading of three automotive steels at different strain rates (0.0011–3200s-1) are reported here. Quasi-static tensile tests were performed under the strain rate of 1.1×10-3 s-1 using an electromechanical universal testing machine, whereas dynamic tests were carried out under the strain rate in the range of 1100 to 3200 s-1 using a Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar apparatus. Based on the experimental results, the material parameters of widely used Johnson–Cook model which described the strain rate and temperature-dependent of mechanical behaviour were determined. The experiments show that strain-rate hardening is superior to thermal softening: yield stresses, tensile strength, deformation, and energy dissipation increase with the strain rate from quasi-static tests to dynamic tests. The Johnson–Cook model can describe the behaviour of these steels and provides the opportunity to study the material and structural response.

A series of tensile tests at constant strain rate were conducted on tin-lead based solders with different Sn content under wide ranges of temperatures and strain rates. It was shown that the stress-strain relationships had strong temperature- and strain rate- dependence. The parameters of Anand model for four solders were determined. The four solders were 60Sn-40Pb, 40Sn-60Pb, 10Sn-90Pb and 5Sn-95Pb. Anand constitutive model was employed to simulate the stress-strain behaviors of the solders for the temperature range from 313K to 398K and the strain rate range from 0.001%sP -1 P to 2%sP -1 P. The results showed that Anand model can adequately predict the rate- and temperature- related constitutive behaviors at all test temperatures and strain rates.

Despite their wide application as construction materials in various earthworks built by state and local transportation agencies, the role of physical and mechanical factors in the strength and deformation behavior of crushed, manufactured open-graded aggregates (OGAs) is not well studied. In this investigation, the strain rate dependency of strength–deformation behaviors of two commonly employed crushed aggregates with small (12.7 mm) and large (38.1 mm) sizes is investigated. A 150-mm diameter triaxial testing device was used to conduct a drained compression test at five strain rates, ranging from 0.000083%/s to 0.0083%/s. To evaluate the significance of confining stress and density on the effect of strain rates, the shear tests were conducted at 34 kPa and 207 kPa effective confining stress levels, with the samples compacted at loose (30%) and dense (95%) relative densities. The peak friction angle, maximum dilation angle, secant modulus, and axial strain at which the aggregates started to dilate were determined to evaluate the strain rate effect on the shear behavior of OGAs. The results demonstrate that within the imposed quasistatic strain rate ranges, only the dilation angle showed an increasing trend with the increase in strain rate, whereas other extracted strength parameters were less sensitive to strain rate for both OGAs tested. Hence, the selection of strain rates according to ASTM specifications is appropriate for conducting strength parameter tests, used by practitioners for the design of geotechnical structures, on OGAs under quasistatic conditions.

This paper presents the evaluation of the stress-strain behavior, as a function of strain-rate, for three tin-lead solders at room temperature. This behavior is critically needed for reliability analysis of printed circuit boards (PCB) since handbooks list minimal mechanical properties for the eutectic solder used in PCBs. Furthermore, most handbook data are for stable eutectic microstructure whereas PCB solder has a metastable microstructure. All three materials were purchased as “eutectics.” However, chemical analysis, volume fraction determination, and microhardness tests show some major variations between the three materials. Two of the materials have a eutectic composition, and one does not. The true stress-strain equations of one eutectic and the one noneutectic material are determined from compressive tests at engineering strain-rates between 0.0002/s and 0.2/s. The second eutectic material is evaluated using tensile tests with strain-rates between 0.00017/s and 0.042/s. The materials appear to exhibit linear elastic behavior only at extremely small strains, i.e., less than 0.0005. However, this “elastic” behavior showed considerable variation, and depended upon the strain rate. In both tension and compression the eutectic alloy exhibits nonlinear plastic behavior, i.e., strain-softening followed by strain-hardening, which depends upon the strain rate. A quadratic equation σy = σy(ε˚/ε˚0) + A(ε˚/ε˚0)ε + B(ε˚/ε˚0)ε2 fit to the data gives correlation coefficients R2 > 0.91. The coefficients σy(ε˚/ε˚0), A(ε˚/ε˚0), B(ε˚/ε˚0) are fitted functions of the normalized engineering strain rate ε˚/ε˚0. Replicated experiments are used at each strain-rate so that a measure of the statistical variation could be estimated. Measures of error associated with the regression analysis are also obtained so that an estimate of the total error in the stress-strain relations can be made.

Influence of loading temperature on the damage mechanism of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) reinforced by glass fiber (PPS/GF30) under tension was experimentally studied from quasi-static (QS) to high strain rates. Two kinds of PPS/GF30 samples were prepared: PPS-0° and PPS-90° (correspond to fibers oriented parallel and perpendicular to the injection direction, respectively). After microscopic observation and thermomechanical characterizations by dynamic mechanical analysis, tensile tests up to failure with strain rates varying from 10−3 s−1 to 100 s−1 have been carried out at 25°C and 120°C with regard to PPS/GF30 glass transition temperature. To achieve the coupling effect of high strain rate and high temperature, a special chamber was designed to install on the servo-hydraulic machine. The results of QS tensile tests confirm the significant effect of fiber orientation and temperature on the Young’s modulus, the ultimate stress, and strain. High strain tensile test results showed that the PPS/GF30 composite is strain rate dependent at both temperatures. The results indicated that Young’s modulus remains constant by strain rate increasing at both temperatures while ultimate stress and strain are increased. No significant damage has been observed at 25°C in QS loading, whereas the macroscopic damage variable is increased to 20% at 120°C. Debonding at the fiber–matrix interface is the main damage mechanism at 120°C.
