A phenomenological theory is presented for describing the anisotropic plastic flow of orthotropic polycrystalline aluminum sheet metals under plane stress. The theory uses a stress exponent, a rate-dependent effective flow strength function, and five anisotropic material functions to specify a flowpotential, an associated flow rule of plastic strain rates, a flow rule of plastic spin, and an ev...

Aluminum cellular structures have been fabricated by combining a two-dimensional [0◦/90◦]2 arrangement of square Al 6061-T6 alloy tubes with orthogonal tubes inserted in the out-of-plane direction. By varying the tube wall thickness, the resulting three-dimensional cellular structures had relative densities between 11 and 43%. The dynamic compressive response of the three-dimensional cellular s...

There are more and tunnel projects in the karst-developed areas Southwest China. Affected by karst caves water, tunnels often experience geological disasters such as local collapses water inrush. A simplified rock stress hardening-softening model was established based on triaxial compression test results of two kinds carbonatite to accurately analyze deformation inrush characteristics surroundi...

Despite research spanning several decades, the exact value of the shear modulus Gs of the erythrocyte membrane is still ambiguous, and a wealth of studies, using measurements based on micropipette aspirations, ektacytometry systems and other flow chambers, and optical tweezers, as well as application of several models, have found different average values in the range 2-10μN/m. Our study shows t...

A transient three-dimensional thermomechanical model was developed to examine the evolution of thermal and mechanical fields in laser powder bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V alloy, particularly with respect development plastic strain. primary focus evaluate influence material constitutive models on predicted behaviors. Johnson-Cook (JC) were chosen account for contribution strain, strain rate, temperature ...

Highly stressed components of modern aircraft engines, like fan and compressor blades, have to satisfy stringent requirements regarding durability and reliability. The induction of compressive residual stresses and strain hardening in the surface layer of these components has proven as a very promising method to significantly increase their fatigue resistance. The required surface layer propert...

Stress-relaxation experiments were performed on nanotwinned Cu to characterize the twin size-dependence of the activation volume and mobile dislocation density. We find that the variation of activation volume as a function of twin lamellae thickness can be captured well by a Hall–Petch-type relation. This structure size-dependence is interpreted to arise from a transition of the rate-controllin...
