The strain-hardening performance and characteristics of pipeline steel material have an important influence on the deformation behavior and arrest behavior of the line pipe. In this paper X70, selected, and the longitudinal and transverse tensile stress-strain curve and strain-hardening characteristics were analyzed. The results showed that the strain hardening exponent of the double-phased line pipes derived from the transvers stress-strain curve maintains relatively low level at early stage and increased gradually with variation of strain, which was different from the strain hardening behavior for the rest line pipes in this study. Phase ratio, grain size and dislocation density, precipitation, texture, etc. have an effect to the strain hardening behavior of pipeline steel.

The basic autofrettage theory assumes elastic-perfectly plastic behaviour. Because of the Bauschinger effect and strain-hardening, most materials do not display elastic-perfectly plastic properties and consequently various autofrettage models are based on different simplified material strain-hardening models, which assume linear strain-hardening or power strain-hardening or a combination of these strain-hardening models. This approach gives a more accurate prediction than the elastic-perfectly plastic model and is suitable for different strain-hardening materials. In this paper, a general autofrettage model that incorporates the material strain-hardening relationship and the Bauschinger effect, based upon the actual tensile-compressive stress-strain curve of a material is proposed. The model incorporates the von Mises yield criterion, an incompressible material, and the plane strain condition. Analytic expressions for the residual stress distribution have been derived. Experimental results show that the present model has a stronger curve-fitting ability and gives a more accurate prediction. Several other models are shown to be special cases of the general model presented in this paper. The parameters needed in the model are determined by fitting the actual tensile-compressive curve of the material, and the maximum strain of this curve should closely represent the maximum equivalent strain at the inner surface of the cylinder under maximum autofrettage pressure.

To suppress the appearance of Lu¨ders strain and to decrease yield to tensile strength ratio in the L-direction (longitudinal direction), as well as the C-direction (circumferential direction), have been more important for strain-based design. In this study, conventional UOE and ERW pipes were examined in terms of tensile properties in both directions. In the case of UOE pipes, yield point was clearly observed on the stress-strain curve in the C-direction. However, stress-strain curves in the L-direction showed the round-house type. This difference became prominent after heat treatment for the anti-corrosion. Namely, clear Lu¨ders strain appeared in the C-direction at a lower aging temperature compared with that in the L-direction. On the other hand, contrasting results were obtained in the case for ERW pipes. Thus far, it’s been thought that the difference between UOE and ERW pipe was caused by the direction of final strain during the pipe forming process. There are also differences in the occurrence of Lu¨ders strain between each grade. A stress-strain curve maintained the round-house type in X100 grade pipe after the heat treatment at 240°C for five minutes; however, X70 grade pipe showed the stress-strain curve in the L-direction with Lu¨ders strain after the heat treatment at the same temperature.

Ramberg-Osgood (R-O) type stress-strain models are commonly employed during elasto-plastic analysis of metals. Recently, 2-stage and 3-stage R-O variant models have been proposed to replicate stress-strain behavior under large plastic deformation. The complexity of these models increases with the addition of each stage. Moreover, these models have considered deformation till necking only. In this paper, a simplistic multi-stage constitutive model is proposed to capture the strain-hardening non-linearity shown by metals including its post necking behavior. The constitutive parameters of the proposed stress-strain model can be determined using only elastic modulus and yield strength. 3-D digital image correlation was used as an experimental tool for measuring full-field strains on the specimens, which were subsequently utilized to obtain the material parameters. Our constitutive model is demonstrated with an aerospace-grade stainless steel AISI 321 wherein deformation response averaged over the gauge length (GL) and at a local necking zone are compared. The resulting averaged and local material parameters obtained from the proposed model provide interesting insights into the pre and post necking deformation behavior. Our constitutive model would be useful for characterizing highly ductile metals which may or may not depict non-linear strain hardening behavior including their post necking deformations.

Buried pipelines can be exposed to displacement-controlled environmental loadings (such as landslides, earthquake fault movements, etc.) which impose deformation demands on the pipeline. When analyzing pipelines for these load scenarios, the deformation demands are typically characterized based on the curvature and/or the longitudinal tension and compression strain response of the pipe. The term “strain demand” is used herein to characterize the calculated longitudinal strain response of a pipeline subject to environmentally-induced deformation demands. The shape of the pipe steel stress-strain relationship can have a significant effect on the pipe strain demands computed using pipeline deformation analyses for displacement-controlled loading conditions. In general, with sufficient levels of imposed deformation demand, a pipe steel stress-strain curve with a relatively abrupt or “sharp” elastic-to-plastic transition will tend to lead to larger strain demands than a stress-strain curve with a relatively rounded elastic-to-plastic transition. Similarly, a stress-strain curve with relatively low strain hardening modulus characteristics will tend to lead to larger strain demands than a stress-strain curve with relatively high strain hardening modulus characteristics. High strength UOE pipe can exhibit significant levels of anisotropy (i.e., the shapes of the stress-strain relationships in the longitudinal tension/compression and hoop tension/compression directions can be significantly different). To the extent that the stress-strain curves in the different directions can have unfavorable shape characteristics, it follows that anisotropy can also play an important role in pipeline strain demand evaluations. This paper summarizes a pipeline industry research project aimed at evaluation of the effects of anisotropy and the shape of pipe steel stress-strain relationships on pipeline strain demand for X80 and X100 UOE pipe. The research included: a review of pipeline industry literature on the subject matter; a discussion of pipe steel plasticity concepts for UOE pipe; characterization of the anisotropy and stress-strain curve shapes for both conventional and high strain pipe steels; development of representative analytical X80 and X100 stress-strain relationships; and evaluation of a large matrix of ground-movement induced pipeline deformation scenarios to evaluate key pipe stress-strain relationship shape and anisotropy parameters. The main conclusion from this work is that pipe steel specifications for high strength UOE pipe for strain-based design applications should be supplemented to consider shape-characterizing parameters such as the plastic complementary energy.

The tensile deformation behaviour of magnesium alloy AE44 (Mg-4Al-4RE) under strain rates ranging from 10-6 to 10-1 s-1 has been investigated. Present study shows that the deformation mode begins with the activation of elastic (Stage 1), followed by <a> basal slip and twinning (Stage 2), <a> prismatic slip (Stage 3) and finally to <c+a> pyramidal slip (Stage 4). The commencement of these deformation mechanisms results in four distinct stages of strain hardening in the stress-strain curve. In this work, the four stages of deformation behaviour are modelled, and an empirical equation is proposed to predict the entire stress-strain curve. Overall, the model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data. This study on the decomposition of stress-strain curve into four stages provides insights into the contribution of individual deformation mechanism to the overall deformation behaviour and opens a new way to assess mechanical properties of die-cast magnesium alloys.

ABSTRACTRecently a new microbeam bending technique utilizing triangular beams was introduced. For this geometry, the film on top of the beam deforms uniformly when the beams are deflected, unlike the standard rectangular geometry in which the bending is concentrated at the support. The yielding behavior of the film can be modeled using average stress-strain equations to predict the stress-strain relation for the film while attached to its substrate. This model has also been used to show that the gradint of stress and strain through the thickness of the film, which occurs during beam bending, does not obscure the measurement of the yield stress in our analysis.Utilizing this technique, the yielding and strain hardening behavior of bare Cu thin films has been investigated. The Cu film was thermally cycled from room temperature to 500 °C, and from room temperature to –196°C. The film was tested after each cycle. The thermal cycles were performed to examine the effect of thermal processing on the stress-strain behavior of the film.

A load-based depth-sensing micro-indentation technique has been developed for material mechanical properties evaluation including elastic modulus, yield stress, strain hardening exponent and stress-strain curve. Based on a Hertzian contact mechanics approach, this load-based depth-sensing micro-indentation technique does not require system compliance calibration or the use of high precision depth sensors. Furthermore a unique, material independent, indentation based load-depth algorithm has been developed accounting for both elastic and elastic-plastic deformation of the material beneath the indenter. This algorithm, found to be a function of material yield stress, strain hardening exponent and elastic modulus, is shown to be the basis for obtaining a stress-strain curve. Finite element analyses of multiple materials with various mechanical properties were employed to examine and develop the fundamental indention based relationships between these variables and the load/depth curve needed to extract the stress-strain diagram. In addition, experimental results obtained with this load-based micro-indentation technique were found to yield accurate material mechanical properties (elastic modulus, strain hardening, yield strength) at room and elevated temperatures (up to 1200°C).
