The characteristics of dynamic strength and fracture in structural steels and their welded joints particularly for pipelines should be evaluated based on the effects of the strain rate and service temperature. The temperature, however, rises so rapidly in structures due to the plastic work under the high strain rate such as ground sliding by earthquake when the effect of the temperature cannot be negligible for the dynamic fracture. It is difficult to predict or measure the temperature rise history with the corresponding stress-strain behavior, including the region beyond the uniform elongation, though the behavior at the large strain region after the maximum loading point is very important for the evaluation of fracture. In this paper, the coupling phenomena of the temperature and stress-strain fields under dynamic loading were simulated by using the finite element method. A modified rate-temperature parameter was defined by accounting for the effect of the temperature rise under rapid plastic deformation, and it was applied to the fully coupled analysis between the heat conduction and thermal elastic-plastic behavior. The temperature rise and stress-strain behavior, including the coupling phenomena, were studied including the region beyond the maximum loading point in structural steels and their undermatched joints, and then compared with the measured values.

During hot working, deformation of metals such as copper or austenitic steels involves features of both diffusional flow and dislocation motion. As such, the true stress-true strain relationship depends on the strain rate. At low strain rates (or high temperatures), the stress-strain curve displays an oscillatory behavior with multiple peaks. As the strain rate increases (or as the temperature is reduced), the number of peaks on the stress-strain curve decreases, and at high strain rates, the stress rises to a single peak before settling at a steady-state value. It is understood that dynamic recovery is responsible for the stress-strain behavior with zero or a single peak, whereas dynamic recrystallization causes the oscillatory nature. In the past, most predictive models are based on either modified Johnson-Mehl-Avrami kinetic equations or probabilistic approaches. In this work, a delay differential equation is utilized for modeling such a stress-strain behavior. The approach takes into account for a delay time due to diffusion, which is expressed as the critical strain for nucleation for recrystallization. The solution shows that the oscillatory nature depends on the ratio of the critical strain for nucleation to the critical strain for completion for recrystallization. As the strain ratio increases, the stress-strain curve changes from a monotonic rise to a single peak, then to a multiple peak behavior. The model also predicts transient flow curves resulting from strain rate changes.

Observations are reported on the stress–strain behavior at −9.5 ± 0.5 °C of four types of ice obtained from the St. Lawrence River. The ice was subject to nominal rates of strain covering the range 2.1 × 10−5 min−1 to 5.8 × 10−2 min−1. A ductile-to-brittle transition was observed for strain rate of about 10−2 min−1. In the ductile range the four types had an upper yield stress that increased with strain rate according to a power law.

The present paper is concerned with constitutive modeling of the compressive stress-strain behavior of selected polymers at strain rates from 10-3 to 103/s using a modified Ramberg-Osgood equation. High strain-rate compressive stress-strain curves up to strains of nearly 0.08 for four different commercially available extruded polymers were determined on the standard split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The low and intermediate strain-rate compressive stress-strain relations were measured in an Instron testing machine. Six parameters in the modified Ramberg-Osgood equation were determined by fitting to the experimental stress-strain data using a least-squares fit. It was shown that the monotonic compressive stress-strain behavior over a wide range of strain rates can successfully be described by the modified Ramberg-Osgood constitutive model. The limitations of the model were discussed.
