This paper presents an analysis of the plastic deformation of a cantilever beam with an attached tip mass, based on the assumption of rigid-plastic behavior with strain-rate sensitivity, under an impulsive load at the tip. Numerical solutions of the equations of motion which appear as two nonlinear simultaneous integral equations are presented. The possibility of power-series expansion is also indicated. Finally, approximate solutions are given, and the results are compared with the more exact solutions and with experimental data.

A relatively simple analytical treatment of the behavior of a rigid-plastic annular plate subjected to an initial linear impulsive velocity profile is presented. The influence of finite deflections has been included in addition to strain-hardening and strain-rate sensitivity of the plate material. It is shown, for deflections up to the order of twice the plate thickness, that strain-hardening is unimportant, strain-rate sensitivity has somewhat more effect, while membrane forces play a dominant role in reducing the permanent deflections.

This article presents a review of the strain rate-dependent mechanical behavior of aluminum and its commercial alloys. The importance of strain rate sensitivity (SRS) stems from its relation with ductility and formability. Plastic deformation is stable and localization less likely in alloys with higher SRS. After discussing the basic formulation used to interpret experimental data, the methods used to measure the SRS parameter are presented. This is followed by a brief review of the main mechanisms that render the flow stress sensitive to the deformation rate, including mechanisms leading to positive and negative SRS. The generic dependence of the SRS parameter on the strain, temperature, and strain rate are further presented using data for pure Al. The effect of alloying is analyzed in the context of solid solutions and precipitated commercial alloys. Results on solid solutions are discussed separately at low and elevated temperatures in order to evidence the role of solute diffusion on SRS. This article ends with a brief discussion of the grain size dependence of SRS, with emphasis on recent efforts to produce nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained materials by severe plastic deformation.

The mechanical behavior of an AZ31 magnesium alloy processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) was evaluated by tensile testing from room temperature up to 473 K at strain rates between 10-5 – 10-2 s-1. Samples tested at room temperature and at high strain rates at 373 K failed without any plastic deformation. However, significant ductility, with elongations larger than 200%, was observed at 423 K and 473 K and at low strain rates at 373 K. The high elongations are attributed to a pronounced strain hardening and a high strain rate sensitivity. The results agree with reports for a similar alloy processed by severe plastic deformation. However, the level of flow stress is lower and the strain rate sensitivity and the elongations are larger than observed in this alloy processed by conventional thermo-mechanical processing.
