The dynamic behavior of three high manganese steels with very different stacking faultenergy (SFE) values (4-30 mJ/m2) were studied using high strain rate torsional tests. The hotrolledmicrostructure of the steel with the lowest SFE of 4 mJ/m2 consisted of a duplex mixture ofaustenite and ε-martensite, but those of the other two steels were fully austenitic. The deformedmicrostructures were stu...

In this study, the hot deformation processing map of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel in two initial grain sizes of 15 and 40 μm was investigated. For this purpose, cylindrical samples were used in the hot compression test at the temperature range of 950-1100 °C and the strain rate of 0.005-0.5% s-1. At first, the relationship between the peak stress and Zener-Hollomon parameter w...

Differences between stress-based and strain-based criteria are investigated in seismic performance evaluation of the arch dams in time domain. A numerical model of the coupled dam-reservoir-foundation system is prepared with the finite element technique. Reservoir is modeled using the Eulerian approach as a compressible domain, and the foundation rock is assumed to be massless. Dynamic equilibr...

The analysis of small amplitude vibrations in deformed viscoelastic solids (Morman and Nagtegaal (1983), Morman, Kao, Nagtegaal (1981) [4,5] is applicable to rubber support mounts, automotive door seals [3] and vibration isolation gaskets. Use of these capabilities in analysis software such as ABAQUS or MSC.MARC requires the equilibrium large strain material properties and the dynamic material ...
