Hydrostatic stress dependent yield of 7075-T6 aluminum

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5589483
Tension and compression tests on notched cylindrical bars made of 7075-T6 aluminum have been conducted as a part of an investigation of the mechanics of ductile fracture. The compression tests showed significantly stiffer behavior in the nonlinear portion of the experiment than those found from the tension tests. This difference was accounted for by incorporating a hydrostatic stress dependent yield model in the analysis of the experiment. The model was verified by comparing finite element calculations with the actual experimental results.
