Automobile industry is continuously striving to obtain light body-in-white structures to meet
tightened regulations on flue-gas emissions/crash-testing parameters.'Advanced high …

Material embrittlement is often encountered in machining, heat treatment, hydrogen and low-
temperature conditions among which machining is strain-rate related. More strain-rate …

The present work reports an abnormal negative strain-rate sensitivity (SRS) in a room-
temperature quenching and partitioning (RT-Q&P) steel. The mechanisms responsible for …

This paper aims to investigate the tensile behavior of a novel high-strength and high-
toughness steel at different strain rates ranging from 0.1 s− 1 to 1000 s− 1. Uniaxial tensile …

The virtual fields method is an approach to inversely identify material parameters using full-
field deformation data. In this manuscript, a new set of automatically-defined virtual fields for …

The incremental elasto-visco-plastic self-consistent polycrystal model (Δ EVPSC) was
utilized to describe the constitutive behavior of dual-phase 980 (DP980) steel. A simple …

The fusion zone of laser welded QP980 composed of fully martensitic structure exhibited
high hardness (493 Hv). The sub-critical heat affected zone contained partially tempered …

The effects of the stress state and temperature on the martensitic phase transformation
behavior in a TRIP-assisted steel (TRIP780) were investigated using multi-axial …

To accurately characterize the dynamic deformation mechanical properties of hot forming
steels 6Mn6 and 22MnB5 under collision conditions, quasi-static tensile tests (0.001 s− 1) …

Loading rate is usually considered as a significant factor affecting formability of AZ91
magnesium alloy structural components. Herein, uniaxial tensile tests are conducted on …
