Structural topology and loading condition have important influences on the mechanical behaviors of porous soft solids. The porous solids are usually set to be under uniaxial tension or compression. Only a few studies have considered the biaxial loads, especially the combined loads of tension and compression. In this study, porous soft solids with oblique and square lattices of circular voids under biaxial loadings were studied through integrated experiments and numerical simulations. For the soft solids with oblique lattices of circular voids, we found a new pattern transformation under biaxial compression, which has alternating elliptic voids with an inclined angle. This kind of pattern transformation is rarely reported under uniaxial compression. Introducing tensile deformation in one direction can hamper this kind of pattern transformation under biaxial loading. For the soft solids with square lattices of voids, the number of voids cannot change their deformation behaviors qualitatively, but quantitatively. In general, our present results demonstrate that void morphology and biaxial loading can be harnessed to tune the pattern transformations of porous soft solids under large deformation. This discovery offers a new avenue for designing the void morphology of soft solids for controlling their deformation patterns under a specific biaxial stress-state.

In this study, 16Mo3 steel was analysed for fatigue tests under tension-compression and oscillatory bending conditions. The analysis involved a comparison of fatigue test results obtained using the Manson-Coffin-Basquin, Langer and Kandil models and the models proposed by Kurek-Łagoda. It was observed that it is possible to substitute the basic tension-compression test performed in large testing machines with oscillatory bending tests carried out on a simple, modern test stand. The tests were performed under oscillatory bending on a prototype machine. The testing of 16Mo3 steel proved that the best-known Mason-Coffin-Basquin fatigue characteristic describes the results of all of the experimental tests very well, but the model can only be used when it is possible to divide strains into elastic and plastic components. It should be emphasised here that there is no such possibility in the case of tests performed under oscillatory bending conditions. It was proven that the proposed test method can substitute the tension-compression test very well and be a much more cost efficient way to obtain LCF material fatigue properties.

In sheet microforming processes, in-surface principal strain rates may be compressive such that the thickness of the sheet increases in the process of deformation. In general, the evolution of free surface roughness depends on the sense of the principal strain normal to the free surface. Therefore, in order to predict the evolution of free surface roughness in processes in which this normal principal strain is positive by means of empirical equations, it is necessary to carry out experiments in which the thickness of the sheet increases. Conventional experiments, such as the Marciniak test, do not provide such strain paths. In general, it is rather difficult to induce a sufficiently uniform state of strain in thin sheets of increasing thickness throughout the process of deformation because instability occurs at the very beginning of the process. The present paper proposes a compression test for thin sheets. Teflon sheets are placed between support jigs and the metallic sheet tested to prevent the occurrence of instability and significantly reduce the effect of the support jigs on the evolution of surface roughness. The test is used to determine the evolution of surface roughness in thin sheets made of C1220-O under three strain paths.

In times of highest significance of process modelling and numerical simulation characterisation of material properties is of special importance for tools’ and components’ dimensioning. But in general material properties depend on many different influencing variables, e.g. temperature, humidity and many others. Especially in fields of sheet metal forming the mechanical behaviour of components highly differs according to real stress condition. In particular yield loci combine the information of beginning of yielding with a biaxial stress condition, but nevertheless for many materials they have not been determined yet. For all others the existing values are available only at room temperature. In this paper a novel concept of the experimental setup is shown, with which plastic yielding of sheet metal can be examined also at elevated temperatures. In usual biaxial tension tests cruciform specimen are drawn in plane. The new machine-concept, which is presented in this paper, is based on a punch-load moving perpendicular to the sheet. By clamping the specimen restoring forces are induced, which cause in dependence of special developed tool and work piece geometries defined stress conditions. Using an optical measurement system for determination of strains with CCDcameras of very high frame rate allows exact identification of starting plastification by offline analysis. Experiments at elevated temperatures are realised by local heating with a diode laser and a special optical system to reach a homogenous distribution of temperatures in the forming zone. On the one hand these investigations are necessary for many materials to achieve further information on characteristic properties in warm forming, because their data are only known at room temperature. On the other hand some materials, e.g. magnesium wrought alloys, are mostly formed at elevated temperatures (here in the range of 200°C to 250°C), because of its significant higher formability. Thus, material behaviour must be characterised at these temperatures.
