Inspired by nacre's design principle, a bottom-up strategy by self-assembly alignment of
flake powders, namely flake powder metallurgy, is employed to fabricate bioinspired …

This paper is concerned with monotonic and load reversal deformation of four dual-phase
(DP) 590, 780, 980, 1180 and one martensitic (MS) 1700 steel sheets. While the monotonic …

The stress relaxation test is a commonly used transient test to determine the deformation
kinetics during plastic deformation. This study reports the time-dependent deformation …

The application of interrupted die motion during the deformation process in a servo press
cycle is known to enhance the forming limit of metallic materials. This observation is …

This paper reported the results of research into the effect of Equal Channel Angular Pressing
(ECAP) temperature and 1-h annealing temperature on mechanical properties, stress …

Plastic deformation of materials experience stress relaxation with time when stopped
intermittently. The relaxation alters the ductility and the strain hardening behaviour during …

Abstract Large 2219 Al–Cu alloy aerospace integral components suffer from long-term
stress relaxation aging (SRA) due to complex temperature and stress loads during aging …

Transient stress relaxation test can be used to estimate activation volume for plastic
deformation. The analysis is complicated due to the non-constancy of mobile dislocation …

Repeated stress relaxation tests are used to characterize the macroscopic time dependent
behavior in metals. During stress relaxation, the mobile dislocation density and internal …

Stress relaxation during plastic deformation has been reported to improve ductility and alter
the mechanical properties of metallic materials. The aim of the present study is to investigate …
