This book demonstrates the potential of novel in-situ experiments, performed on microscopic
and macroscopic length scales, for investigating localized deformation processes in metallic …

During the plastic deformation of metallic materials, part of expended mechanical energy
diffuses as heat. The fraction of plastic work converted into heat is called the Taylor–Quinney …

Strain aging phenomena are shown to affect the viscoplastic behavior of commercially pure
α-titanium at room temperature. A yield stress anomaly corresponding to static strain aging …

Tensile tests with simultaneous full-field strain and temperature measurements at the
nominal strain rates of 0.01, 0.1, 1, 200 and 3000 s− 1 are presented. Three different testing …

Nonlinearities effects at the crack tip, due to the elastic-plastic material behavior, impact the
crack growth rate and path. This paper is devoted to the study of the plastic zone evolution in …

This paper focuses on a study of plastic deformation on the mesoscale level by infrared
thermography coupled with digital image correlation. First, a novel technique for fully …

During plastic deformation of metals only a portion of the plastic work done on the material is
expended to modify its physical properties while the remaining energy is converted to heat …

Background Plastic deformation in polycrystalline metals is highly heterogeneous due to the
varied microstructure distribution. Although some traditional laws, such as the Hall–Petch …

This paper focuses on the development of an appropriate Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
methodology based on Image Registration and dedicated for characterizing the plastic …

This paper focuses on the development of a novel digital image correlation strategy based
on infrared imaging (IR-DIC) for realizing simultaneous assessment of Lagrangian strain …
