Characterization, modelling and simulation of deformation and fracture behaviour of the light-weight wrought alloys under high strain rate loading

The flow behaviour and ductility of the Aluminium alloy AA7075, Magnesium alloy AZ80, and Titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V are investigated in quasistatic and dynamic uniaxial compression and tension tests at nominal strain rates range of 0.001s-1⩽ε˙⩽5000s-1 and temperatures between 20 and 450 °C. Shear tests using hat-shaped specimens are carried out by quasistatic and dynamic loading at shear rates ranging between 0.01s-1 and 120000s-1 and at a...
