An experimental programme for determination of the Johnson Cook material and failure model constants for a typical armour steel material is reported. Tensile tests on specimens made from the armour material have been conducted at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates and at ambient and elevated temperatures. The analysis of the experimental data generates the model constants that are required as inputs during numerical simulation of dynamic events like armour impact using Johnson Cook constitutive relation and failure model implemented in most of the commercially available Finite Element codes.

Tensile tests were performed at constant strain rates from 10−2 to 10−5 min−1 on 5454-O and 1100-O aluminum alloys, A515 Grade 70 steel and B166 nickel alloy at room temperature and at elevated-temperature ranges where the design stress basis normally changes from tensile to creep-rupture controlled. The results in general showed that the strength of the alloys decreased at lower strain rates, and the sensitivity to strain rate was greater at elevated temperatures except where metallurgical phenomena such as dynamic strain aging negate the effects of strain rate. At the highest temperature the decrease in strength properties ranged from 11 to 50 percent over the strain rate range for different alloys.

In this paper, some interesting, experimentally determined actualities referring to the 50CrMo4 steel are presented. That way, the mechanical properties of the material are derived from uniaxial tensile tests at lowered and elevated temperatures. Engineering stress versus strain diagrams for both mentioned temperatures, curves representing the effect of temperature on specimen elongation, and short-time creep curves are given. Notch impact energy test was also carried out. Taking into consideration the service life of the final product of the mentioned steel widely used in engine and machine technology, all of the mentioned data may be relevant during design and manufacturing procedure.

Abstract Electronic equipment in automotive, agricultural and avionics applications may be subjected to temperatures in the range of −55 to 200°C during storage, operation and handling in addition to high strain-rates. Strain rates in owing to vibration and shock may range from 1–100 per sec. Temperature in electronic assemblies depends typically on location, energy dissipation and thermal architecture. Some investigators have indicated that the required operating temperature is between −40 to 200°C for automotive electronics located underhood, on engine, on transmission. Prior data indicates the evolution of mechanical properties under extended exposures to high temperatures. However, the constitutive models are often only available for pristine materials only. In this paper, effect of low operating temperatures (−65°C to 0°C) on Anand-model parameters at high strain rates (10–75 per sec) for aged SAC (SAC105 and SAC-Q) solder alloys has been studied. Stress-Strain curves have been obtained at low operating temperatures using tensile tests. The SAC leadfree solder samples were subjected to isothermal-aged up to 4-months at 50°C before testing. Anand Viscoplastic model has been used to describe the material constitutive behavior. Evolution of Anand Model parameters for SAC solder has been investigated. The computed parameters of the experimental data were used to simulate the tensile test and verified the accuracy of the model. A good correlation was found between experimental data and Anand predicted data.

In this study, the monotonic and cyclic material properties of steel material of medium static strength produced additively in the wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process were investigated. This investigated material is expected to be particularly applicable to the field of mechanical engineering, for which practical applications of the WAAM process are still pending and for which hardly any characteristic values can be found in the literature so far. The focus of the investigation was, on the one hand, to determine how the material characteristics are influenced by the load direction in relation to the layered structure and, on the other hand, how they are affected by different interlayer temperatures. For this purpose, monotonic tensile tests were carried out at room temperature as well as at elevated temperatures, and the cyclic material properties were determined. In addition, the hardness of the material and the residual stresses induced during production were measured and compared. In addition to the provision of characteristic properties for the investigated material, it was aimed to determine the extent to which the interlayer temperature influences the strength characteristics, since this can have a considerable influence on the production times and, thus, the economic efficiency of the process.

The paper summarizes results of tensile tests in low alloy steel (LAS) specimens (steels 15Kh2MFA and 15Kh2NMFA). Slow Strain Rate Tensile tests (SSRT) were performed in air at temperatures from 22 to 325°C over a wide range of strain rates from 2.5×10-6 to 1.67×10-3 s-1. The possible effect of strain rate and temperature to mechanical properties of tested LAS is searched for. The dynamic strain ageing (DSA) was observed within certain temperature ranges at lower strain rates tested and its hardening effect in terms of the maximum strengthening stress decreased linearly with the increase of log strain rate. It has been found that the occurrence of susceptibility to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) of tested steels in high temperature water (HTW) is corelated to the DSA behavior. The result suggest that DSA reduces ductility of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel and its role in enhancing the EAC of RPV steels should not be neglected, in view of the coincidence with susceptibility zones for DSA and EAC in terms of strain rate and temperature. A reasonable coincidence was observed between the susceptibility to DSA exhibited by SSRT in air and with the EAC behavior observed in laboratory experiments.

The dynamic strain aging (DSA) behavior of SA508-III steel was evaluated through tensile tests with different strain rates from 10-4 to 10-1s-1 at 350°C. The OM, SEM and TEM were carried out to observe the microstructures and fracture morphologies of the steel. The results show that the serrated flows appear in the stress-strain curves when the strain rate is between 10-3~10-2s-1, indicating that DSA occurs. Under the strain rate range, the tensile strength increases and the elongation and the reduction of area decrease. However, the fracture surface of the steel after tensile tests is still ductile. DSA in SA508-III steel at the strain rates from10-3 to 10-2s-1 is mainly caused by the interaction between the internal solute atoms and dislocations, which leads to the dislocations multiplication and the formation of sub-grain boundaries and dislocation cell structure.

Stainless steels are used for the construction of numerous spent nuclear fuel or radioactive material containers that may be subjected to high strains and moderate strain rates during accidental drop events. Mechanical characteristics of these base materials and their welds under dynamic loads in the strain rate range of concern are not well documented. However, three previous papers [1, 2, 3] reported on impact testing and analysis results performed at the Idaho National Laboratory using 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel base material specimens that began the investigation of these characteristics. The goal of the work presented herein is to add the results of additional tensile impact testing for dual-marked 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel material specimens (hereafter referred to as 304L and 316L, respectively). Utilizing a drop-weight impact test machine and 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick dog-bone shaped test specimens, additional impact tests achieved target strain rates of 5, 10, and 22 per second at room temperature, 300, and 600 degrees Fahrenheit. Elevated true stress-strain curves for these materials at each designated strain rate and temperature are presented herein.

The plastic deformation of dilute alloys is often accompanied by plastic instabilities due to dynamic strain aging and dislocation interaction. The repeated breakaway of dislocations from and their recapture by solute atoms leads to stress serrations and localized strain in the strain controlled tensile tests, known as the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect. In this present work, we analyze the stress time series data of the observed PLC effect in the constant strain rate tensile tests on Al-2.5%Mg alloy for a wide range of strain rates at room temperature. The scaling behavior of the PLC effect was studied using two complementary scaling analysis methods: the finite variance scaling method and the diffusion entropy analysis. From these analyses we could establish that in the entire span of strain rates, PLC effect showed Levy walk property. Moreover, the multiscale entropy analysis is carried out on the stress time series data observed during the PLC effect to quantify the complexity of the distinct spatiotemporal dynamical regimes. It is shown that for the static type C band, the entropy is very low for all the scales compared to the hopping type B and the propagating type A bands. The results are interpreted considering the time and length scales relevant to the effect.

The springback behavior of an invar sheet and its perforated form were examined in the present study. The mechanical properties for invar sheet and perforated invar-sheet at elevated temperatures were first obtained from tensile tests. The test results suggest that both invar sheet and perforated invar-sheet have favorable formability at temperature higher than 200oC. An analytical model was also established to predict the springback of the invar sheet and its perforated form under bending conditions at various elevated temperatures. In order to verify the predicted results, the V-bending tests were conducted for the invar sheet at various temperatures ranging from room temperature to 300. The experimental data indicate that the springback decreases with the rise in temperature for both invar sheet and perforated invar-sheet. The good agreement between the experimental data and the predicted values confirms the validity of the proposed theoretical model as well.

Nickel base alloys due to their high performances have been widely used in biomass and coal fired power plants. They can undertake plastic deformation with different strain rates such as those typically seen during creep and fatigue at elevated temperatures. In this study, the mechanical behaviors of Alloy 617 with strain rates from 10-2/s down to 10-6/s at temperatures of 650°C and 700°C have been studied using tensile tests. Furthermore, the microstructures have been investigated using electron backscatter detection and electron channeling contrast imaging. At relatively high strain rate, the alloy shows higher fracture strains at these temperatures. The microstructure investigation shows that it is caused by twinning induced plasticity due to DSA. The fracture strain reaches the highest value at a strain rate of 10-4/s and then it decreases dramatically. At strain rate of 10-6/s, the fracture strain at high temperature is now smaller than that at room temperature, and the strength also decreases with further decreasing strain rate. Dynamic recrystallization can also be observed usually combined with crack initiation and propagation. This is a new type of observation and the mechanisms involved are discussed.
