Mechanical, microstructural behaviour and modelling of dual phase steels under complex deformation paths

This paper aims to identify the mechanisms associated to the transient hardening behaviour of dual phase steels under strain path changes, and to capture the observed material behaviours with appropriate constitutive models. First, three DP steel sheets with different amounts of martensite were tested under monotonic and various strain path changes. Second, microstructural analysis of the materials before and after strain path change were...
