Improving the understanding of the long term rate dependent behaviour of materials is of
critical importance in many engineering applications. Without this understanding, it is …

Materials modeling and numerical formulations were conducted to describe the complex
material behavior upon strain path change in order to enhance the prediction accuracy of …

The formability characteristics of advanced high strength (AHS) steel grades 780 and 1000
subjected to varying forming histories including strain path changes were described by …

In this paper, an experimental investigation and a constitutive modeling of the mechanical
response of an interstitial-free (IF) steel over a wide range of strain rates (from 0.001/s to …

The effect of strain rate on tensile and compressive mechanical properties of sheet steels is
investigated experimentally and analytically. Three sheet steels are studied in both …

Residual stresses can be relaxed by supplying sufficiently high amounts of thermal and/or
mechanical energy, which converts the residual elastic strains to microplastic strains. In …

Strain recovery after plastic prestrain and associated elastic and inelastic behavior during
loading and unloading of DQSK steel sheet are measured. Average tangent modulus and …

An austenitic and a ferritic steel were subjected to severe plastic deformation at 20 and 450°
C up to equivalent strains of 32. The development of the microstructure and the mechanical …

Abstract High Strength Steels are increasingly demanded in building constructions,
shipbuilding and other industries. Hard impact and explosion are possible hazards for steel …

Inelastic recovery behavior of TRIP steels during unloading has been investigated by
uniaxial tensile tests. Unloading stress–strain curves obtained under different plastic strain …
