The deformation behavior of microtubes during hollow sinking was investigated to clarify the mechanism of the excessive thinning of their outer diameters. Stainless-steel, copper, and aluminum alloy tubes were drawn without an inner tool to evaluate the effect of Lankford values on outer diameter reduction. Drawing stress and stress-strain curves were obtained to evaluate the yielding behavior during hollow sinking. The observed yielding behavior indicated that the final outer diameter of the drawn tube was always smaller than the die diameter due to the uniaxial tensile deformation starting from the die approach end even though the drawing stress was in the elastic range. The results of a loading-unloading tensile test demonstrated that the strain remained even after unloading. Therefore, the outer diameter is considered to become smaller than the die diameter during hollow sinking due to microscopic yielding at any Lankford value. Furthermore, the outer diameter becomes smaller than the die diameter as the Lankford value increases, as theorized. As the drawing stress decreases or the apparent elastic modulus of the stress-strain curve increases, the outer diameter seems to approach the die diameter during unloading, which is caused by the elastic recovery outside the microscopic yielding region.

The mechanical process of single-crystal aluminium thin films under uniaxial tensile strain was simulated with molecular dynamics method at different temperature. The stress–strain curve and potential energy–strain curve of thin aluminium film under uniaxial tensile deformation were obtained by molecular dynamics simulations. With the changes of sample temperatures in uniaxial extension, the variation characteristics of stress–strain curves are alike at the elastic stage and different at the plastic one below and above 370 K, respectively. From the stress–strain curves, we gained the first local maximum stress-temperature curve and the strain at the first local maximum stress-temperature curve, and found that the strange temperature dependence of first local maximum stress: when the temperature is above 370 K, the stress goes down quickly with temperature, and when below 370 K, it descends slowly. With increasing temperature, the difference between two strain values corresponding to two maximal potential energies changes slowly below and above 370K but it goes up quickly about 370K. By these dependences, we have identified the critical temperature (370K) for the transition of plastic flow mechanism.

Uniaxial tensile deformation behavior of 5A90 aluminium-lithium alloy sheet is investigated in the hot forming with the temperature range of 200-450°C and strain rate range of 0.3×10-3-0.2×10-1s-1. It is found that the flow stress of 5A90 Al-Li alloy in uniaxial tension increase with increasing strain rate and decrease with increasing temperature, however, the tendency of total elongation is just the reverse, and the optimum forming temperature is 400°C. The strain rate sensitivity index (m-value) remarkably increases with increasing temperature for a given strain rate. It is shown that 5A90 Al-Li alloy sheet displays the sensitivity to the strain rate at elevated temperatures. For a given strain rate, the strain hardening index (n-value) decreases with increasing temperature, whereas the n-value increases above 350°C. The constitutive equation of stress, strain and strain rate for 5A90 Al-Li alloy at any temperature is obtained by fitting the experimental data, which gave a good flow stress model for the FEM simulation of hot forming.

In plasticity theory, the effective stress–strain curve of a metal is independent of the loading path. The simplest loading path to obtain the effective stress–strain curve is a uniaxial tensile test. In order to demonstrate in a plasticity laboratory that the stress–strain curve is independent of the loading path, the hydrostatic bulge test has been used to provide a balanced biaxial tensile stress state. In our plasticity laboratory we compared several different theories for the hydrostatic bulge test for the determination of the effective stress–strain curve for two representative metals, brass and aluminium alloy. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed based on the uniaxial tension test data. It was shown that the effective stress–strain curve obtained from the biaxial tensile test (hydrostatic bulge test) had a good correlation with that obtained in the uniaxial tensile test and agreed well with the analytical and FEA results. This paper may be used to support an experimental and numerical laboratory in teaching the concepts of effective stress and strain in plasticity theory.

Identifying changes in the mechanical behavior of blood vessels subjected to freezing and thawing, such as occur with cryopreservation, are of key importance. Excising pairs of fresh ring specimens from identical porcine thoracic aortas (n = 8 for each cooling rate), we carried out uniaxial tensile loading and unloading tests over the physiological stress range (first and second tests) and performed a loading test until the breaking point within the range of a load cell (third test). After the first test, one specimen of the pair was frozen at −80°C at a cooling rate of −1°C or −50°C/min and thawed, while the other was held at 5°C as a control. At both cooling rates, for the specimens subjected to freezing, the ratios of the tangential modulus in the stress-strain curve (between 130 and 150 kPa) in the second test to that in the first test differed significantly (p < 0.01) from the respective ratios of the control specimens. We formulated a mathematical model of the stress–strain relationship considering elastic and collagen fibers and an incompressible fluid phase. We evaluated the working hypothesis that collagen fibers reduce their extensibility either by hardening as a mechanical change or by shortening as a geometric change. We attributed this response to the formation of dehydration-induced cross-linking in collagen molecules at the microscopic level.

ABSTRACTThe atomistic processes and stress-strain-curves during uniaxial tensile deformation of a single α-Fe nanocrystal have been studied with the molecular static method. Periodic boundary conditions are imposed along one direction perpendicular to the tensile axis to model plane strain conditions. The effects of the model sizes in plane, boundary conditions and crystal orientations on the stress-strain curves are systematically analyzed. Various deformation evidences such as dislocation movement, dislocation piling up and twinning are clearly observed. The deformation and fracture characteristics of a-Fe and their dependencies on the boundary conditions are investigated.

Abstract This chapter focuses on mechanical behavior under conditions of uniaxial tension during tensile testing. It begins with a discussion on the parameters that are used to describe the engineering stress-strain curve of a metal, namely, tensile strength, yield strength or yield point, percent elongation, and reduction in area. This is followed by a section describing the parameters determined from the true stress-true strain curve. The chapter then presents the mathematical expressions for the flow curve. Next, it reviews the effect of strain rate and temperature on the stress-strain curve. The chapter then describes the instability in tensile deformation and stress distribution at the neck in the tensile specimen. It discusses the processes involved in ductility measurement and notch tensile test in tensile specimens. The parameter that is commonly used to characterize the anisotropy of sheet metal is covered. Finally, the chapter covers the characterization of fractures in tensile test specimens.

This investigation was conducted to define the plastic stress distribution at a section 90 degrees from the point of load application on a ring. The elastic and plastic stress distribution was determined experimentally by using postyield strain gages and the stress-strain relationship obtained from a uniaxial tensile test. The experimental results in the elastic range were found to agree with presently available theoretical predictions. A theoretical plasticity analysis of the ring was made by assuming that it deforms to the shape of an ellipse and that plane sections remain plane. The strains determined in this manner were used to calculate stresses off the tensile stress-strain curve. The experimental results indicated that this initial analysis gave a good approximation of the stress distribution for large deflections of the ring.
