Determination of multiaxial flow surfaces at elevated temperatures using the concept of dissipation potential

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5098192
This analytical activity builds on previous experimental efforts at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to measure multiaxial flow surfaces using tubular specimens of type 316 stainless steel. Tests were isothermal at 650/degree/C (1200/degree/F). Flow surface determination was conducted after certain torsional preloadings and was composed of a series of 16 probes at 16 distinct axial/torsional stress-rate ratios. These probes sufficiently characterized the flow surfaces in the stress subspace. Previous analytical efforts reduced the experimental data for determination of surfaces of constant inelastic strain rate (SCISR). Current efforts remove assumptions concerning the inelastic strain state (for the multiaxial response) and reuse the experimental data to cast flow surfaces in the form of surfaces of constant dissipation potential (SCDP). Some 43 SCDP flow surface families are determined from the high-temperature experimental database. Details of the analytical techniques are provided. Resulting preliminary assessments are presented and discussed concerning various theoretical subjects such as normality of strain rate vectors and goodness-of-fit of candidate stress functions composed of second and third stress invariants. 8 refs., 48 figs.
