DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6227444· OSTI ID:6227444

The strain-rate and temperature dependent plasticity model of Bammann, as implemented in the PRONTO FEM code, is compared with the model of Kocks and Mecking. It is shown that simplified versions of both models can be directly compared. Both models separate the temperature and strain-rate dependent yield stress (in a well annealed condition) from the temperature and strain-rate dependent strain hardening contribution. Equations are derived for the conversion from parameters describing a fit of data to the Kocks and Mecking model to parameters describing a fit to the Bammann model. The application of the results to measurements in U-0.75 Ti and a W-Ni-Fe alloy is presented. 7 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs.
