[1] Taiwan’s Hsüehshan range experienced penetrative coaxial deformation within and near the brittle-plastic transition between 6.5 and 3 Ma. This recent and short-lasting deformation in an active, well-studied orogen makes it an ideal natural laboratory for studying crustal rheology. Recrystallized grain size piezometry in quartz and Ti-in-quartz thermobarometry yield peak differential stresse...

The elastic coupling between plastic events is generally invoked to interpret plastic properties and the failure of amorphous soft glassy materials. We report an experiment where the emergence of a self-organized plastic flow is observed well before the failure. For this we impose an homogeneous stress on a granular material, and measure local deformations for very small strain increments using...

The mechanical behavior and microstructure at fracture of a rolled AZ31B magnesium alloy were experimentally investigated using tubular specimens subjected to combined axial-torsion loading with different ratios the axial shear stress components. state influences stress-strain responses. equivalent stress-equivalent plastic strain curves under tension-torsion show sigmoidal shape peak value har...

Selective laser melting has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Nevertheless, research has been mainly focused on the technical issues and their relationship with the final microstructure and monotonic properties. Fatigue behaviour has rarely been addressed, and the emphasis has been placed on high-cycle regimes. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to study, in a systematic man...

Considering the relationship between inhomogeneous plastic deformation and fatigue damage, inhomogeneity evolution failure of superalloy GH4169 under temperature 500 °C macro tension compression cyclic loading are studied, by using crystal plasticity calculation associated with polycrystalline representative Voronoi volume element (RVE). Different statistical standard deviation differential ent...

Indentation is a new method for estimating residual stress. The plastic behavior of the materials under study can affect indentation parameters and, thus, influences the results of residual stress measurement. In this paper, the effect of yield stress and work-hardening exponent on the accuracy of residual stress measurements in steels and aluminums was studied. Results showed that, for m...

The new fatigue data sheet, No. 133, discloses low- and high-cycle properties of A2017-T4 aluminium alloys. Two types low-cycle tests were conducted under strain-controlled conditions. One comprised incremental step to clarify cyclic stress-strain curves. other constant- strain amplitude the lives. alloys revealed strong hardening that resulted in very high cycle yield stresses. stresses higher...

The atomistic mechanisms of plastic deformation in amorphous metals are far from being understood. We have derived potential parameters for molecular dynamics simulations of Mg–Cu amorphous alloys using the Effective Medium Theory. We have simulated the formation of alloys by cooling from the melt, and have used these glassy configurations to carry out simulations of plastic deformation. These ...
