Study of the formation of adiabatic shear bands in mild steel under dynamic loading
The conditions of strain and temperature under which adiabatic shear bands form were examined using a torsional Kolsky (split-Hopkinson) bar apparatus. Thin walled tubular specimens of 1018 cold rolled steel were tested at an approximately constant strain rate in one of two strain rate regimes. In addition, the initial test temperature was varied from 173/sup 0/K to 300/sup 0/K. The total specimen strain was varied from test to test in order to determine the strain at which localized deformation begins at a given strain-rate and temperature. Using a series of fine lines scribed along the inner surface of the tube parallel to its axis, the strain distribution along the gage length of the specimen was determined by post-test examination. In this way it was determined whether the deformation was homogeneous or localized into a shear band.
