In this paper, a general elastoplastic-damage constitutive model considering the effect of strain rate has been developed. The derivation of this model has been cast into the irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables within the fundamentals of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). The rate effect has been involved as an additional term into the plastic yield surface (dynamic plastic yield...

Fatigue is defined as 'Failure under a repeated or otherwise varying load, which never reaches a level sufficient to cause failure in a single application.' Fatigue cracks always develop as a result of cyclic plastic deformation in a localised area. This plastic deformation often arises, not due to theoretical stresses in a perfect part, but rather due to the presence of a small crack or pre-ex...

Hot deformation behavior of a medium Cr/Mn Al6061 aluminum alloy was studied by isothermal compression test at temperatures range of 320 to 480 °C and strain rates range of 0.001 to 0.1 s −1. The true stresstrue strain curves were analyzed to characterize the flow stress of Al6061. Plastic behavior, as a function of both temperature and strain rate for Al6061, was also modeled using a hyperboli...

An experimental test was carried out to explosively clad solution annealed Inconel 718 superalloy on quench-tempered AISI H13 hot tool steel. A wavy with vortices interface geometry was obtained from this experiment. A gradual change in the wavelength along the direction of welding was observed which was due to a change in the impact angle, following the plate contacts. In this paper, the exper...

This paper (SPE 173892) was revised for publication from paper OTC 25335, first presented at the Offshore Technology Conference, Houston, 5–8 May 2014. Original manuscript received for review 20 June 2014. Revised manuscript received for review 27 October 2014. Paper peer approved 4 November 2014. Summary Steel catenary risers (SCRs) on a large-heave-motion vessel are susceptible to compression...

An elastoplastic phase field model is developed to investigate the role of lateral confinement on morphology of thin films grown heteroepitaxially on patterned substrates. Parameters of the model are chosen to represent InxGa1-xAs thin films growing on GaAs patterned with SiO2. We determined the effect of misfit strain on morphology of thin films grown in 0.5μm patterns with non-uniform deposit...

The results from experimental research of deformation by upsetting and die forging of lead specimens wit controlled impact are presented. Laboratory setup for conducting the investigations, which uses cold rocket engine operated with compressed air, is described. The results show that when using controlled impact is achieving greater plastic deformation and consumes less impact energy than at o...

obtaining temperature distribution data of slabs under rolling is essential as the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the metal under this process vary with temperature. using the control volume method, a mathematical model is employed in this study to predict slab temperature in the hot roll process at mobarakeh steel company. the effects of different parameters including the heat resu...
