Quasi-static and high strain rate fracture behaviour of Ti6Al4V

Static and dynamic experiments on sheet and bar titanium Ti6Al4V alloy are presented. Aiming at a comprehensive set of data on the materials damage and failure properties, different sample geometries and loading modes are considered. For the Ti6Al4V sheet, tensile loading of in-plane shear, two different in-plane tensile and plane strain samples are used, for the bar, tensile loading of cylindrical samples and torsion of thin-walled tubes.
