Abstract Tension tests of the true stress-strain type are reported for which the true strain rate is maintained constant throughout each test. Several metals are investigated under testing temperatures ranging from −183 C to 665 C. The influence of temperature and strain velocity on the true stress-strain properties is described. A single variable called the velocity-modified temperature is used to represent the combined influences of true strain rate and testing temperature.

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of 5CrNiMoV steel was investigated through hot compression at temperatures of 830–1230°C and strain rates of 0.001–10 s−1. From the experimental results, most true stress-strain curves showed the typical nature of DRX that a single peak was reached at low strains followed by a decrease of stress and a steady state finally at relatively high strains. The constitutive behavior of 5CrNiMoV steel was analyzed to deduce the operative deformation mechanisms, and the correlation between flow stress, temperature, and strain rate was expressed as a sine hyperbolic type constitutive equation. Based on the study of characteristic stresses and strains on the true stress-strain curves, a DRX kinetics model was constructed to characterize the influence of true strain, temperature, and strain rate on DRX evolution, which revealed that higher temperatures and lower strain rates had a favorable influence on improving the DRX volume fraction at the same true strain. Microstructure observations indicated that DRX was the main mechanism and austenite grains could be greatly refined by reducing the temperature of hot deformation or increasing the strain rate when complete recrystallization occurred. Furthermore, a DRX grain size model of 5CrNiMoV was obtained to predict the average DRX grain size during hot forming.

Using thermal simulator (Gleeble 1500D), the thermal deformation behavior of Cu-P weathering steel containing Cr, Ni, Mo under the conditions of various deformation temperatures and strain rates was studied. The true stress-true strain curves at various thermal deformation conditions were got, and the thermal deformation equation was established. Then the microstructure features of the steel under various deformation temperatures and strain rates were analyzed when the true strains were same. The results show that with the same strains and strain rates, the higher the deformation temperature, the easier the recrystallization occurs, and the greater the size of the recrystal grains. And with the same strains and deformation temperatures, the lower the strain rate, the easier the recrystallization occurs, and the greater the proportion and size of the recrystal grains.

The effects of temperature and strain rate on the thermal deformation-behavior of Cu-P weathering steel were studied by using thermal simulator. And the true stress-true strain curves at different thermal deformation conditions were got. Then the features of the microstructure of the steel under different temperatures and strain rates were analyzed. The results show that with the same deformation dimensions and strain rates, when the deformation temperatures were higher, the recrystallization would proceed much easier, and the size of the recrystal grains could be also larger. And with the same deformation dimensions and temperatures, when the strain rates were lower, the recrystallization could also occur easier, and the proportion and size of the recrystal grains were larger.

A Nb-V steel’s response to constant true strain rate compression was compared to its behavior when the strain rate varied as during a rolling pass. The constitutive behavior during the two types of tests was found not to differ in a significant manner.

Mathematical descriptions of true stress/true strain curves, experimentally obtained on cylindrical specimens under hot compressive conditions, are of great importance and are widely investigated. An additional black-box modelling approach using transfer functions (TF) is tested. For tested 51CrV4 steel, a TF of third order is employed for description of true stress (output) depending on the strain rate (input). Sets of TF coefficients are determined using numerical optimization techniques for each testing temperature and strain rate. To avoid scattering of TF parameters, time in Laplacian transformation is replaced with strain, while TF input is the strain rate. Obtained models cover deformations starting practically from zero to 0.7. Average absolute relative error for models based on TF of the third order and of the second order are 0.93% and 3.64%.

Polyethylene (PE) pipes have been applied in transportation of key energy medium such as natural gas in the past decades. The mechanical property of PE is of great importance for better design and safer application of PE pipeline system. The large deformation behavior is a key character of PE, not only for its significant strain rate sensitivity, but also for localized necking process after yielding. In this paper, a new constitutive modeling method was proposed to charaterize the rate-denpendent large deformation behavior of PE, in which the true stress is regarded as a function of true stain and true strain rate alone. Uniaxial tensile tests of PE were conducted under various cross-head speeds, and a digital camera was used to record the real-time deformation of specimens. By separating the composite effect into respective effect of local true strain and strain rate on the local true stress in the necking region, a phenomenological model for describing the rate-dependent deformation behavior under uniaxial tension was ealstablished. Model results were validated and found in good agreement with experimental data.

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.

There are various definitions of damage variables from the existing damage models. The calculated damage value by the current methods still could not well correspond to the actual damage value. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a damage evolution model corresponding to the actual damage evolution. In this paper, a strain rate-sensitive isotropic damage model for plain concrete is proposed to describe its nonlinear behavior. Cyclic uniaxial compression tests were conducted on concrete samples at three strain rates of 10−3s−1, 10−4s−1, and 10−5s−1, respectively, and ultrasonic wave measurements were made at specified strain values during the loading progress. A damage variable was defined using the secant and initial moduli, and concrete damage evolution was then studied using the experimental results of the cyclic uniaxial compression tests conducted at the different strain rates. A viscoelastic stress-strain relationship, which considered the proposed damage evolution model, was presented according to the principles of irreversible thermodynamics. The model results agreed well with the experiment and indicated that the proposed damage evolution model can accurately characterize the development of macroscopic mechanical weakening of concrete. A damage-coupled viscoelastic constitutive relationship of concrete was recommended. It was concluded that the model could not only characterize the stress-strain response of materials under one-dimensional compressive load but also truly reflect the degradation law of the macromechanical properties of materials. The proposed damage model will advance the understanding of the failure process of concrete materials.
