Uniaxial tensile tests were performed on a Ti-6Al-4V alloy sheet over the temperature range of 923K-1023K with the strain rates of 5×10-4s-1-5×10-2s-1 up to a 25% length elongation of the specimen. The true stress-strain curves reveal that the flow stress decreases with the increase of the temperature and the decrease of the strain rate. In the same process, the accompanying softening role increases. It is found that the Ti-6Al-4V shows the features of non-linearity, temperature sensitivity and strain rate dependence in hot environment. Finally, an Arrhenius-type law has been established to predict the experimental data and the prediction precision was verified by the plotting of parameter and flow stress, which revealed that the error of stress exponent was only 4.99%. This indicates the flow stress model has high precision and can be used for the process design and the finite element simulation of hot forming thin-wall Ti-6Al-4V alloy components.

Uniaxial tensile deformation behavior of 5A90 aluminium-lithium alloy sheet is investigated in the hot forming with the temperature range of 200-450°C and strain rate range of 0.3×10-3-0.2×10-1s-1. It is found that the flow stress of 5A90 Al-Li alloy in uniaxial tension increase with increasing strain rate and decrease with increasing temperature, however, the tendency of total elongation is just the reverse, and the optimum forming temperature is 400°C. The strain rate sensitivity index (m-value) remarkably increases with increasing temperature for a given strain rate. It is shown that 5A90 Al-Li alloy sheet displays the sensitivity to the strain rate at elevated temperatures. For a given strain rate, the strain hardening index (n-value) decreases with increasing temperature, whereas the n-value increases above 350°C. The constitutive equation of stress, strain and strain rate for 5A90 Al-Li alloy at any temperature is obtained by fitting the experimental data, which gave a good flow stress model for the FEM simulation of hot forming.

In order to study the dynamic and fracture behavior of 6005 aluminum alloy at different strain rates and stress states, various tests (tensile tests at different strain rates and tensile shearing tests at five stress states) are conducted by Mechanical Testing and Simulation (MTS) and split-Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB). Numerical simulations based on the finite element method (FEM) are performed with ABAQUS/Standard to obtain the actual stress triaxialities and equivalent plastic strain to fracture. The results of tensile tests for 6005 Al show obvious rate dependence on strain rates. The results obtained from simulations indicate the feature of nonmonotonicity between the strain to fracture and stress triaxiality. The equivalent plastic strain reduces to a minimum value and then increases in the stress triaxiality range from 0.04 to 0.30. A simplified Johnson-Cook (JC) constitutive model is proposed to depict the relationship between the flow stress and strain rate. What is more, the strain-rate factor is modified using a quadratic polynomial regression model, in which it is considered to vary with the strain and strain rates. A fracture criterion is also proposed in a low stress triaxiality range from 0.04 to 0.369. Error analysis for the modified JC model indicates that the model exhibits higher accuracy than the original one in predicting the flow stress at different strain rates. The fractography analysis indicates that the material has a typical ductile fracture mechanism including the shear fracture under pure shear and the dimple fracture under uniaxial tensile.

ABSTRACT The strain rate dependence of uncured rubber is investigated through a series of tensile tests (monotonic, multistep relaxation, cyclic creep tests) at different strain rates. In addition, loading/unloading tests in which the strain rate is varied every cycle are carried out to observe their dependence on the deformation history. A strain rate–dependent viscoelastic–viscoplastic constitutive model is proposed with the nonlinear viscosity and process-dependent recovery properties observed in the test results. Those properties are implemented by introducing evolution equations for additional internal variables. The identified material parameters capture the experiments qualitatively well. The proposed model is also evaluated by finite element simulations of the building process of a tire, followed by the in-molding.

Superplastic forming, SPF is a special metalworking process that allows sheets of metal alloys such as aluminum to be stretched to lengths over ten times. Nowdays, only a few aluminium alloys can meet the specific requirement of SPF manufacturing process and not much data available to represent their mechanical behaviour. In order to deal with this issue, this research project is conducted to investigate the characteristics of commercial aluminum alloy, AA5083 when tested at different strain rates and temperatures. These parameters play a crucial roles in the design and manufacturing processes of military, automotive and aerospace structures. Equally, the effects must be considered in the constitutive model development to accurately capture the deformation behaviour of such materials. The specimens were prepared according to 12.5mm gauge length standard. The Uniaxial Tensile Tests were carried out at various strain rate from 4.167 x10-1s-1to 4.167 x10-5s-1over a wide temperature range from ambient to 95°C. The experimental data shows that increasing strain rate increases flow stress, while increasing temperature decrease flow stress. This is leads to important conclusion that material AA5083 exhibits strain rate and temperature sensitivite, and suit with the SPF operating condition.

Aiming at Pbfree solder Sn4.0Ag0.5Cu (in short, SAC405), the uniaxial tensile tests are accomplished with constant strain-rate under different temperature and strain-rate load conditions. The elastic-viscoplastic behaviors of SAC405 solders are studied. The rate-dependent material main properties are analyzed, such ad yield limit, tensile strength, saturation stress, etc. Partitioned constitutive model is accepted to describe the constitutive behavior of SAC405 solder. The seven parameters in partitioned model are determined by experiment data. The results of numerical simulation are fitted with the experimental values.

To meet the demand for high accuracy in metal forming simulation including difficult problems such as anisotropy, many material models have been developed. Since the recent material models usually possess many parameters and require cumbersome experiments, a reliable numerical material testing would be helpful to reduce the number of experiments. Therefore, we have engaged in development of a numerical material testing based on the finite element polycrystalline model in which the successive integration method is used for modeling slip systems. However, implementation based on the strain-rate dependent model, which is considered as the mainstream of such model, has not been rigorously considered in our research. In this study, two polycrystalline models were compared to establish better microstructural modeling for constructing a scheme of numerical material testing to predict material behavior that is not obtained by experiments. Numerical rolling, uniaxial tensile tests were conducted on aluminum alloy sheet with the strain-rate dependent model and the successive integration method. The crystal orientation calculated by the successive integration method exhibited close agreement with the experimental value of the rolled aluminum alloy sheet. On the other hand, the calculated crystal orientation by the strain-rate dependent model exhibited less close agreement with the experimental value of the same material than the successive integration method. To ascertain the characteristics of each model in terms of slip deformation quantitatively, the other tensile tests were conducted to calculate Lankford values caused by crystal orientation. Lankford values, calculated by the successive integration method, exhibited better agreement with experimental values than the strain-rate dependent model. These comparisons indicate that the successive integration method represented slip deformation more physically valid than the strain-rate dependent model and resulted in better calculation.

The thickness effect on formability of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet has been widely investigated by means of uniaxial tensile tests, performed in the temperature range from 250 to 350°C, with strain rates varying from 10-4 to 10-1 s-1, using samples with different thickness values (from 1.5 to 3.2 mm). A preliminary microstructural study has shown that grain size and morphology are not significantly affected by both sheet thickness and heating just before the deformation step. The experimental results of tensile tests have been analysed in terms of flow curve shape, flow stress and strain to failure levels. They show that, in general, flow stress increases and ductility decreases with increasing sheet thickness even if such influence is strongly related to the temperature and strain rate conditions Finally, the analysis of the Zener-Hollomon parameter vs. peak flow stress data showed that the same mechanisms are operative in the investigated sheets.

The constitutive modeling of aluminum alloy under warm forming conditions generally considers the influence of temperature and strain rate. It has been shown by published flow stress curves of Al-Mg alloy that there is nearly no effect of strain rate on initial yield stress at various temperatures. However, most constitutive models ignored this phenomenon and may lead to inaccurate description. In order to capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, Peric model is modified via introducing plastic strain to multiply the strain rate, for eliminating the effect of strain rate when the plastic strain is zero. Other constitutive models including the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric are also considered and compared. The results show that the modified Peric model could not only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress, but also capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, while the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric model can only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress. Moreover, the modified Peric model could obtain proper static yield stress more naturally, and this property may have potential applications in rate-dependent simulations.

To investigate the effect of hot working parameters on the flow behavior of 300M steel under tension, hot uniaxial tensile tests were implemented under different temperatures (950 °C, 1000 °C, 1050 °C, 1100 °C, 1150 °C) and strain rates (0.01 s−1, 0.1 s−1, 1 s−1, 10 s−1). Compared with uniaxial compression, the tensile flow stress was 29.1% higher because dynamic recrystallization softening was less sufficient in the tensile stress state. The ultimate elongation of 300M steel increased with the decrease of temperature and the increase of strain rate. To eliminate the influence of sample necking on stress-strain relationship, both the stress and the strain were calibrated using the cross-sectional area of the neck zone. A constitutive model for tensile deformation was established based on the modified Arrhenius model, in which the model parameters (n, α, Q, ln(A)) were described as a function of strain. The average deviation was 6.81 MPa (6.23%), showing good accuracy of the constitutive model.
