Abstract Experimental results indicate the dependence of the yield-point phenomenon of mild steel on temperature, strain rate, duration of stress, and stress state. This paper proposes a yield criterion which can account for these variables. The theory is developed on the basis of a “structural” model, by which the behavior of microscopic and submicroscopic elements is idealized. The theory postulates as yield criterion a critical number of relaxation centers (active Frank-Read sources) or, equivalently, a critical size of relaxation centers. The transition-temperature phenomenon is considered to be the result of an inhibition of yielding (upper yield point) by means of geometry, temperature and/or strain rate. A relation is given which expresses its dependence on the state of stress and strain rate.

The influence of temperature and strain rate on the upper yield point of ingot iron was studied. Torsion tests were conducted using strain rates of 12.5/sec, 0.25/sec, and 0.0001/sec over the temperature range 77 to 525 deg K. The upper yield point showed a rapid increase as the temperature was lowered. An increase in the strain rate also caused an increase in the yield point. An apparent activation energy can be associated with the strain rate and temperature dependence of the yield point. This energy is influenced by stress level, and it appears from the present study that the relationship can be described by an equation of the form ΔH=ΔH¯τ¯−ττ¯b. If this relationship is substituted for ΔH in a modification of the Boltzmann relation, the following result is obtained: logγ˙γ˙1=MΔH¯RT1τ¯−τ1τ¯b1−T1Tτ¯−ττ¯−τ1b. This equation describes the experimental data within ± 3000 psi. The results of this investigation compared with tensile test data from other investigators confirm that state of stress is an important factor in determining whether a material will behave in a ductile or brittle fashion.

ABSTRACTComposites samples containing 80% and 85% organic filler in a polymer-plastizer binder were produced by mixing, extruding, cutting, drying and pressing. Before pressing the extruded material was in some cases coated with a thin layer of graphite (= one micron) for ease in pressing. As part of a general study of these composites the compressive strength, σm, was determined as a function of temperature, strain rate and the thickness of the graphite coating. Without graphite σm increases with decreasing temperature and increasing strain rate. With graphite σm has the same behavior above approximately −10 C, but is independent of both temperature and strain rate below −10 C for a strain rate of 1.0/Sec. In addition, the low temperature value of Om decreases with increasing graphite thickness. The cracking and fracture patterns are temperature and strain rate dependent and are different with and without graphite. These results indicate that the bond produced by pressing the graphite containing material is stronger than the composite above −10 C and weaker below −10 C so that failure initiates in the composite above −10 C and in the bond below −10 C. With decreasing strain rate this transition temperature decreases. The bonding is discussed.

This paper covers the role of anisotropy, temperature, and strain rate on the flow behavior of the material when a conical die is used instead of conventional blank holder. The effect of anisotropy was investigated using Lankford’s coefficient (r) in three directions (0°, 45°, and 90°). The effect of working temperatures (Room temperature, 100°C - 300°C) on drawing stress and strain rate sensitivity on punch pressure were also investigated in detail. ANSYS APDL was used to investigate the effects of temperature, strain rate and anisotropy. The simulation results have confirmed that the strain variation in the direction of r0 and r45 are more than the variation of r90.
