in the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. in this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using abaqus software. in this study, it has been employed the taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...

a framework for development of constitutive models including damage progress, based on semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity is proposed for concrete. the model uses sub-loading surface with multilaminate framework to provide kinematics and isotropic hardening/softening in the ascending/descending branches of loading and can be able to keep stress/stain paths histories for each plane separ...

Dasht-e-Arjan is a northeast trending graben located 65 km west of Shiraz. It was formed along active segments of the Korrehbas fault, perpendicularly to the Shahnesh in and Salamati anticlines. Oriented sampling from bordering fault planes and striations was carried out to evaluate the relative amounts of paleostress/strain needed to form the graben. Measurements of e-twins and c-axis of calci...

The present paper concerns the numerical prediction and experimental measurement of the distribution of strain in a plane strain compression test by means of a gridded insert. The insert was engraved with a 161 mm grid pitch and was embedded in an AA5182 sample. The tests were performed at 400uC with a reduction ratio of y20% and at a strain rate of 0.7 s. A thermocouple was used to record the ...
