Constitutive Behavior of Model FCC, BCC, and HCP Metals: Experiments, Modeling and Validation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:762249

The stress-strain responses of a half-hardened copper and an annealed tantalum as a function of temperature and strain-rate were investigated. The rate-dependent yield stress and work-hardening behavior were described satisfactorily by the Mechanical Threshold Strength (MTS) model which is based on thermally-activated plasticity and evolution. Excellent agreement was obtained comparing experiments and calculations of Taylor cylinder impact tests.
