This study examined the through-thickness (z-direction) compressive stress versus strain behavior of 99.76% commercially pure (grade II) titanium sheet with relatively small grain size. The current study complemented earlier compression studies by examining a very thin (1.60 mm) sheet and deforming the Ti by successive compression tests to relatively large strains. The low aspect ratio, of the compression specimens extracted from the sheet, led to frictional effects that can create high triaxial stresses complicating the uniaxial stress versus strain behavior analysis. Nonetheless, reasonable estimates were made of the through-thickness large-strain behavior of a commercially pure (grade II) thin Ti sheet to relatively large true strains of about 1.0.

Compression tests were used to simulate simple deformation paths within the upper a-range of Zircaloy-4 (i.e. 500°C-750°C). The mechanical behaviour reveals two different domains : at low temperatures and large strain rates, strain hardening takes place before flow softening, whereas this first stage disappears at lower flow stress levels. Strain rate sensitivity and activation energy were determined for both domains. Dynamic recrystallization was investigated using the Electron BackScattering Diffraction (EBSD) technique. It appears that the mechanism involved here is continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX), based on the increasing misorientation of subgrain boundaries and their progressive transformation into large angle boundaries. At low strains (e £ 0.3), CDRX kinetics are similar whatever the deformation conditions, while higher temperatures and lower strain rates promote recrystallization at large strains.

The present study aims to determine stress-strain curves at large strains of sheet metals under the uniaxial stress state by using the in-plane stretch-bending test. The combined Swift-Voce model, which describes the large-strain work-hardening of materials by means of a weighting coefficient μ, was used for FE simulation of the stretch-bending. The coefficient μ was determined by minimizing the difference in punch stroke vs. bending strain responses between the experimental data and the corresponding experimental results. By using this inverse approach, stress-strain curves of two levels of high-strength steel sheets of a precipitation hardening type, 590R and 780R, in three sheet directions (0, 45 and 90o from rolling direction), were determined.

Large-strain deformation of aluminum in shear consistently evinces strain softening of roughly 15-20%. Most researchers have suggested that this flow stress decrease is a consequence of a decrease in the average Taylor factor as a consequence of a shear-texture. The authors also consider, now, the possibility that changes in the dislocation climb stress induced by the texture could rationalize the softening. This work reports on an analysis of large strain deformation of aluminum single crystals in the softest orientation {111} <110>. Here softening is not observed. However, this result and other in earlier publications are consistent with dislocation climb being the rate-controlling process that also explains the observed stress versus strain behavior.


The analysis of the previous results of the study on concrete stress-strain behavior at elevated temperatures has been carried out. Based on the analysis, the main reasons for strength retrogression and elastic modulus reduction of concrete have been identified. Despite a significant amount of research in this area, there is a large spread in experimental data received, both as a result of compression and tension. In addition, the deformation characteristics of concrete are insufficiently studied: the coefficient of transverse deformation, the limiting relative compression deformation corresponding to the peak load and the almost complete absence of studies of complete deformation diagrams at elevated temperatures. The two testing chambers provided creating the necessary temperature conditions for conducting studies under bending compression and tension have been developed. On the basis of the obtained experimental data of physical and mechanical characteristics of concrete at different temperatures under conditions of axial compression and tensile bending, conclusions about the nature of changes in strength and deformation characteristics have been drawn. Compression tests conducted following the method of concrete deformation complete curves provided obtaining diagrams not only at normal temperature, but also at elevated temperature. Based on the experimental results, dependences of changes in prism strength and elastic modulus as well as an equation for determining the relative deformation and stresses at elevated temperatures at all stages of concrete deterioration have been suggested.

Abstract UPM CP Titanium Grade 3 (UNS R50550) is an unalloyed commercially pure titanium that exhibits moderate strength (higher strength than that of Titanium Grade 2), along with excellent formability and corrosion resistance. It offers the highest ASME allowable design stress of any commercially pure grade of titanium, and can be used in continuous service up to 425 °C (800 °F) and in intermittent service up to 540 °C (1000 °F). This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Ti-167. Producer or source: United Performance Metals.

The inelastic behavior of solid circular bars twisted to arbitrarily large strains is considered. Various phenomenological constitutive laws currently employed to model finite strain inelastic behavior are shown to lead to closed-form analytical solutions for torsion. These include rate-independent elastic-plastic isotropic hardening J2 flow theory of plasticity, various kinematic hardening models of flow theory, and both hypoelastic and hyperelastic formulations of J2 deformation theory. Certain rate-dependent inelastic laws, including creep and strain-rate sensitivity models, also permit the development of closed-form solutions. The derivation of these solutions is presented as well as numerous applications to a wide variety of time-independent and rate-dependent plastic constitutive laws.

Ligament volumetric behavior controls fluid and thus nutrient movement as well as the mechanical response of the tissue to applied loads. The reported Poisson’s ratios for tendon and ligament subjected to tensile deformation loading along the fiber direction are large, ranging from 0.8 ± 0.3 in rat tail tendon fascicles [1] to 2.98 ± 2.59 in bovine flexor tendon [2]. These Poisson’s ratios are indicative of volume loss and thus fluid exudation [3,4]. We have developed micromechanical finite element models that can reproduce both the characteristic nonlinear stress-strain behavior and large, strain-dependent Poisson’s ratios seen in tendons and ligaments [5], but these models are computationally expensive and unfeasible for large scale, whole joint models. The objectives of this research were to develop an anisotropic, continuum based constitutive model for ligaments and tendons that can describe strain-dependent Poisson’s ratios much larger than the isotropic limit of 0.5. Further, we sought to demonstrate the ability of the model to describe experimental data, and to show that the model can be combined with biphasic theory to describe the rate- and time-dependent behavior of ligament and tendon.
