Abstract Deformation at elevated temperatures in combination with high strain rates leads to recovery and recrystallization in aluminum alloys. Previous work in recrystallization has emphasized the detailing of microstructural trend in progression from the deformed to the annealed state. In the following, we examine the effect of rate dependence on deformation on AA 5182 and AA 6061. It is demonstrated that identification of underlying microstructural mechanisms is critical. An experimental program is then outlined for characterization of recovery and recrystallization of AA 5182. Instantaneous hardening rate and flow stress are developed from interrupted compression tests. These data are used to establish a quantitative measure of recovery through evaluation of a state variable for work hardening, the mechanical threshold. It is intended that the results serve as a foundation for development of relations for evolution of a mechanical state variable in the presence of recrystallization. Such a framework is necessary for the practical prediction of interstand recrystallization in hot rolling operations.

Masonry is a construction technique which typically reacts in compression. Characterization of its material properties in compression is thus of paramount importance. This especially counts for adobe bricks because their material properties are still unknown to a large extent. This traditional masonry, made of locally available soil and fibres, is spread in areas currently involved in military conflicts, where also European forces operate. Therefore, not only its static properties in compression, but even more the dynamic strength is a relevant parameter. Laboratory characterization of material properties still pose several challenges, among which so-called size dependence is one of the most controversial topics. This entails the possible variation of material properties values from tests on specimens of different size and shape. Several factors may concur to its determination and a well-founded theory does not exist yet. This counts for statics and even more in dynamics. Addressing the properties in compression of bricks at high strain rates is rare, namely no studies of size dependence on masonry bricks in dynamic regimes are published. Lately, a series of experimental campaigns were conducted by the authors at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. In these campaigns, a series of compression tests were performed on several types of adobe bricks. Different soil mixtures were used to produce cylindrical samples of different sizes. Compressive tests from 2e-5 s-1 to 10 s-1 and 100 s-2 were executed using hydraulic machines as well as split Hopkinson bars. Next, the static as well as the dynamic material properties as calculated from tests on specimens of different sizes and material compositions have been qualitatively and quantitatively compared and interpreted. In this paper, the experimental program is presented, next the material properties in strength and ductility as well as the dynamic increase factors are investigated.

Slow, intermediate and high strain rate experiments with UT geometries are performed on aluminum AA7075-T6 sheet metal at various temperatures. The comprehensive experimental program characterizes the plasticity response at temperatures ranging from 20°C to 360°C and at strain rates ranging from 0.001/s to 150/s. The elevated temperature - elevated strain rate experiments are performed on a hydraulic tensile testing machine and a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar system with a Load Inversion Device along with a custom-made induction heating system. A machine learning based modified Johnson-Cook plasticity model is calibrated to capture the complex strain rate and temperature effect of the observed hardening response.

Abstract Studies on medium to high strain-rate characterization (≥ 0.1s−1) of lead-free solder are relatively few, primarily due to the lack of available methods for testing. Prior work in literature uses Split Hopkinson Bar (SPHB) experiments for high strain-rate characterization (≥ 300s−1) [1,2], while a modified micro-scale tester is used for medium strain-rate characterization (0.005s−1 to 300s−1) [3] and an impact hammer test setup for testing in a strain-rate regime from 1s−1 to 100s−1 [4]. However, there is still limited data in strain-rate regimes of relevance, specifically for drop shock applications. In this paper, we present orthogonal metal cutting as a novel method to characterize lead-free solder alloys. Experiments are carried out using a wedgelike tool that cuts through a work piece at a fixed depth and rake angle while maintaining a constant cutting velocity. These experiments are conducted at room temperature on Sn1.0Ag0.5Cu bulk test specimens with strain-rates varying from 0.32 to 48s−1. The range of strain-rates is only limited by the ball screw driven slide allowing higher strain-rates if needed. The strains and strain-rates are captured through Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) using sequential images taken from a high-speed camera just ahead of the cutting tool. The PIV enables non-contact recording of high strain-rate deformations, while the dynamometer on the cutting head allows one to capture the forces exerted during the cutting process. Results for the stress-strain response obtained through the experiments are compared to prior work for validation. Orthogonal metal cutting is shown to be a potentially attractive method for characterization of solder at higher strain-rates.
