The transformation kinetics during cooling of steels is most often documented in CCT and DCCT transformation diagrams, in cases where austenite was deformed prior to cooling. In such cases, attention is paid to austenite transformations in steel 25CrMo4. Within the research work, one CCT diagram and two DCCT diagrams with different strain rates (1 and 20 s-1) were developed based on dilatometric tests and combined with metallographic analyses and hardness measurements. The work also involved the verification of the deformation effect shifting the onset of ferritic and pearlitic transformation to the left, i.e. towards higher cooling rates as well as the investigation of the effect of two strain rates. It was found that, compared to the lower strain rate (1 s-1), the larger austenitic grain size combined with the higher strain rate (20 s-1) delayed the transformation of ferrite and bainite. The above-named effect was explained by insufficient time for the full dynamic recrystallization process to take place during austenite deformation.

Kinetyka przemian podczas chłodzenia stali przedstawiana jest najczęściej na wykresach dotyczących przemian fazowych podczas ciągłego chłodzenia (ang. CCT) oraz wykresach dotyczących przemian fazowych podczas ciągłego chłodzenia związanych z odkształceniem (ang. DCCT), w przypadku, gdy austenit uległ odkształceniu przed chłodzeniem. W omawianym przypadku zwrócono uwagę na przemiany austenitu zachodzące w stali 25CrMo4. Na podstawie badań dylatometrycznych, analiz metalograficznych oraz pomiarami twardości opracowano jeden wykres dotyczący przemian podczas ciągłego chłodzenia oraz dwa wykresy dotyczące przemian podczas ciągłego chłodzenia związanych z odkształceniem dla różnych prędkości odkształcenia (1 s-1 i 20 s-1). W ramach badań zweryfikowano wypływ odkształcenia, który spowodował przesunięcie początku przemiany ferrytycznej oraz perlitycznej w lewo, tj. w stronę wyższych wartości szybkości chłodzenia. Badania obejmowały wpływ dwóch szybkości odkształcenia. Stwierdzono, iż w porównaniu z niższą szybkości odkształcenia (tj. 1 s-1), większy rozmiar ziaren austenitu w przypadku wyższej szybkości odkształcania (20 s-1) spowodował opóźnienie przemiany ferrytycznej oraz bainitycznej. Uznano, że ww. zjawisko wynikało z niewystarczającego czasu, tj. czasu zbyt krótkiego, aby mogła nastąpić pełna rekrystalizacja dynamiczna w trakcie odkształcania austenitu.
W pracy przedstawiono wyniki dynamicznych badań wytrzymałościowych próbek betonowych skrępowanych tuleją ołowianą z wykorzystaniem techniki dzielonego pręta Hopkinsona. Przeanalizowany zakres dużych szybkości odkształcenia wynosił od 80 s-1 do 194 s-1. Wykazano przyrost wytrzymałości betonu wynikający nie tylko z wrażliwości badanego betonu na szybkość odkształcenia, ale także ze skrępowania, które w warunkach dynamicznego obciążenia wywołuje dodatkowe efekty bezwładnościowe.

In the paper, the results from the SHPB tests of concrete specimens confined with the lead covers are presented. The analysed high strain rate was from 80 s-1 to 194 s-1. The increase of the compressive strength was noted due to strain rate sensitivity of concrete but also to confinement which caused additional inertial effects.

This paper is the second part of a study aimed at evaluating the influence of the strain rate of a plain weave GFRP laminate in a non-destructive static three-point bending test on the stress response of the material. It was found that the stress level during the entire course of the deflection rises with the increase in the strain rate. The relative change in the stress level is comparable for the 0/90 and 45/-45 samples. As the loading speed increases, the elastic modulus of the material also grows. For an increment in the strain rate from 1.11·10–3 to 5.57·10–1 1/s, the increase is 10% for the 0/90 samples and 17.7% for the 45/-45 samples. The dependence of the modulus on the strain rate is logarithmic. Based on the theoretical analysis, the cause of the observed effects of the strain rate on the material response was attributed to the viscoelastic behawior of the matrix (cured polymer resin) and the viscoelastic behavior of the system of fibers at the level of the laminate mesostructure.
Modern industries, including those in construction, increasingly uses various types of polymer materials, which should be characterized by good mechanical properties. In this work, the effect of strain rate (10, 20, and 50 mm/min) on the tensile and properties of three polymers (high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinylchloride (PVC)) was studied. A twin-screw extruder was used for the preparation of samples. In order to study the influence of strain rate, tensile strength was used. Mechanical property results show that the tensile properties, tensile strength, and elastic modulus increased with the increase in the strain rate, while elongation at the break point decreased.
The dynamic tensile behavior of a ZrB2-SiC ceramic was investigated via split Hopkinson pressure bar tests and a bond-based peridynamic model. The experimental results showed that the peak dynamic splitting tensile stress increased linearly with the strain rate. The dynamic tensile stress history and fracture pattern exhibited a significant strain-rate dependence. In simulation, the strain-rate dependent on the critical energy release rate was introduced to predict the dynamic tensile behavior of the ZrB2-SiC ceramic. The numerical results were in good agreement with the experimental results, verifying the applicability of the peridynamic model. The maximum error of the peak dynamic splitting tensile stress between the experimental and numerical results was no greater than 6%. Moreover, the effect of the strain rate on the fracture patterns of the ZrB2-SiC ceramic composite can be well predicted by the peridynamics method. The ZrB2-SiC composite specimen split into two large fragments with additional small fragments under dynamic splitting tension. With the increase of strain rate, the main crack propagation and branching led to a larger fracture region in the middle of the specimen.

Zn alloys are desirable candidates for biodegradable materials due to their great biocompatibility and suffcient mechanical properties. Nevertheless, the most popular strengthening method by grain refinement after cold processing is usually ineffective in Zn alloys. Besides highly anisotropic deformation through a dislocation slip, grain boundary sliding (GBS) plays an important role in total deformation in fine-grained Zn alloys at room temperature (RT). Herein, Zn-0.5Cu (wt. %) alloy is fabricated by RT equal channel angular pressing, and its deformation mechanisms in tension were systematically analyzed at strain rates from 10-4s-1 to 10o. GBS contribution in total deformation was measured using surface markers and atomic force microscopy. In addition, dislocation slip activity was evaluated via electron-backscattered diffraction-based slip trace analysis. As a result, investigated alloy presents the GBS contribution in a total deformation at RT from 35% at the strain rate [...]. Simultaneously, the number of slip-deformed grains decreased from 97.5% to 8%. Moreover, the basal slip system was dominant at all strain rates, while the prismatic and the pyramidal < c + a > slip systems were activated at the higher strain rates. The results presented here for the first time clearly show the complexity of deformation mechanisms in fine-grained Zn–0.5Cu, at significantly different strain rate conditions.
Filler surface modification has become an essential approach to improve the compatibility problem between natural fillers and polymer matrices. However, there is limited work that concerns on this particular effect under dynamic loading conditions. Therefore, in this study, both untreated and treated low linear density polyethylene/rice husk composites were tested under static (0.001 s-1, 0.01 s-1 and 0.1 s-1) and dynamic loading rates (650 s-1, 900 s-1 and 1100 s-1) using universal testing machine and split Hopkinson pressure bar equipment, respectively. Rice husk filler was modified using silane coupling agents at four different concentrations (1, 3, 5 and 7% weight percentage of silane) at room temperature. This surface modification was experimentally proven by Fourier transform infrared and Field emission scanning electron microscopy. Results show that strength properties, stiffness properties and yield behaviour of treated composites were higher than untreated composites. Among the treated composites, the 5% silane weight percentage composite shows the optimum mechanical properties. Besides, the rate of sensitivity of both untreated and treated composites also shows great dependency on strain rate sensitivity with increasing strain rate. On the other hand, the thermal activation volume shows contrary trend. For fracture surface analysis, the results show that the treated LLDPE/RH composites experienced less permanent deformation as compared to untreated LLDPE/RH composites. Besides, at dynamic loading, the fracture surface analysis of the treated composites showed good attachment between RH and LLDPE.

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 strength steels (AHSS)’ find increased applications in the automotive industry because of improved crashworthiness/formability at reasonably low costs. AHSS category mainly includes transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steels, twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steels, dual phase (DP) steels, complex-phase (CP) steels, and quenching-partitioning (Q&P) steels. AHSSs provide superior strength-ductility combination than conventional high-strength steels by virtue of their multi-phase microstructures. Mechanical properties of AHSSs are greatly influenced by processing routes/derived microstructures. Furthermore, mechanical properties/tensile deformation behavior are also strain rate dependent. During an automobile crash, deformation occurs at strain rates which are exceedingly higher than quasi-static conditions. So, investigation of AHSS properties under both quasi-static as well as high strain rates conditions is important to check applicability for superior crash-resistance. The present work critically reviews details of processing routes, room temperature microstructures, mechanical properties, and finally strain rate dependence of tensile deformation behaviour of AHSSs. Finally, main gaps in existing literature/scope for future research with regards to high strain rate deformation dependent properties of this steel category are presented.

7075-T6 aluminum alloy is a high strength aluminum alloy that is widely used in automotive and aerospace manufacturing. Nevertheless, its plastic deformation ability is poor at room temperature. Electromagnetic forming (EMF) is a method dedicated to forming materials at high speed using magnetic force, which can significantly improve their plastic deformation ability. However, it is difficult to understand the dynamic processes of high-speed forming. Herein, finite element models of EMF and quasi-static stamping were developed using the ANSYS and ABAQUS software. The Johnson–Cook constitutive model was used to describe the stress–strain behavior of the material, while the Johnson–Cook damage model was used to describe the fracture behavior of the material and the distribution of the fracture strain. The sheet exhibited a small temperature rise before fracture, which has little effect on the material fracture strain by EMF. After fracture, the temperature increased sharply. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the material underwent a melting phenomenon at the fracture location. Numerical simulation results demonstrated that the fracture energy of EMF was three times that of traditional stamping, and the high strain rate is the main factor affecting the fracture strain of the material.

Variations in the dynamic triaxial strength of hybrid basalt–polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete (HBPRC) with strain rate and confining pressure were investigated, and a dynamic non-linear Mohr–Coulomb (M–C) strength criterion for HBPRC was established. The results showed that the dynamic strength of HBPRC increased non-linearly with the strain rate and confining pressure; however, the strain rate effect decreased with an increase in the confining pressure. The restraint effect of the basalt fibre and polypropylene fibre on the cracks enhanced the strain rate effect of the dynamic strength of concrete. The cohesion of HBPRC increased with the strain rate and confining pressure but decreased with an increase in the amount of fibre monofilaments. However, the internal friction angle showed a reverse trend. The established dynamic non-linear M–C strength criterion reflected the relationship of the dynamic strength of HBPRC with the confining pressure and strain rate, as well as the effect of fibre content on dynamic strength. The less average standard deviation and the tangential relationship between the strength envelope and the Mohr’s circle of stress demonstrated the applicability of the established dynamic non-linear M–C strength criterion.
Tensile deformation behavior of nuclear grade Austenitic Stainless Steel (SS) and its welded joints fabricated by Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Activated Flux Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (AGTAW) processes were studied and correlated with relevant microstructural morphologies using Infrared Thermography (IRT) technique. The microstructure of base metal showed a complete austenite phase. GTAW Fusion Zone (FZ) exhibited both primary ferrite and primary austenite mode of solidification. Meantime, AGTAW FZ exhibited only primary austenite mode of solidification. A strain rate of 4.4x10-4 s-1 was used during the tensile test of the base metal and welded joints. The failure locations of the base metal, GTAW and AGTAW samples were noticed at the center of the gauge portion, the base metal side away from Fusion Line (FL) and Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) respectively. The temperature variations of the base metal and weld zones were recorded in the form of thermograms using the IR camera at the different stages of the tensile deformation. During deformation study, peak temperature of 39.2 °C, 38.8 °C and 34 °C were observed at the base metal, GTAW and AGTAW samples respectively. The lesser peak temperature of the AGTAW sample compared to the base metal and GTAW samples indicated that the AGTAW sample undergone lesser deformation. Moreover, tensile deformation behaviours of the base metal and welded joints were correlated with their microstructural morphologies using corresponding temperature curves.

W pracy zbadano zachowanie deformacji podczas rozciągania austenitycznej stali nierdzewnej i jej połączeń spawanych wykonanych metodą GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) oraz AGTAW (Activated Flux Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), a następnie skorelowano je z odpowiednimi morfologiami mikrostrukturalnymi za pomocą termografii w podczerwieni (ang. lnfrared Thermography). Mikrostruktura materiału bazowego wykazała całkowitą fazę austenitu. Spoina GTAW wykazywała zarówno ferryt, jak i austenit, podczas gdy spoina AGTAW wykazywała jedynie austenit. Podczas próby rozciągania materiału bazowego i złączy spawanych zastosowano prędkość odkształcania o wartości 4,4x10-4 s-1. Do zerwania poszczególnych próbek doszło odpowiednio na środku próbki materiału bazowego, w linii wtopienia złącza spawanego GTAW i w strefie wpływu ciepła (SWC) złącza spawanego AGTAW. Zmiany temperatury w materiale rodzimym i poszczególnych obszarach złączy spawanych rejestrowano w formie termogramów za pomocą kamery na podczerwień, przy różnych etapach deformacji podczas rozciągania. Podczas badań odkształceń zaobserwowano maksymalne wartości temperatury: 39,2 °C, 38,8 °C i 34 °C odpowiednio w próbkach z materiału bazowego, spawanych GTAW i spawanych AGTAW. Niższa maksymalna temperatura próbki spawanej metodą AGTAW w porównaniu z pozostałymi próbkami wskazała, że uległa ona mniejszemu odkształceniu. Ponadto zachowania deformacji przy rozciąganiu materiału rodzimego i złączy spawanych zostały skorelowane z obrazami ich mikrostruktur przy użyciu odpowiednich krzywych temperatur.
The fracture and fragmentation of concrete under static and dynamic loads are studied. The uniaxial compressive strength test is employed to study the concrete behavior under static loads while the split Hopkinson pressure bar is used to study the dynamic behavior of the concrete under static loads. The theories for acquiring the stress, strain and strain rate of the concrete in the dynamic test by Hopkinson pressure bar has been introduced. The fracture patterns of the concrete in the uniaxial compressive test have been obtained and the static concrete compressive strengths have been calculated. The fracture patterns of the concrete in the uniaxial compressive test have been obtained and the static concrete compressive strengths have been calculated. The fracture and fragmentation of the specimen under dynamic loads have been acquired and the stress-strain curves of concrete under various impact loads are obtained. The stress-strain curve indicates a typical brittle material failure process which includes existing micro-fracture closure stage, linear-elastic stage, nonlinear-elastic stage, and post-failure stages. The influence of the loading rate for the compressive strength of the concrete has compared. Compared with the concrete under static loads, the dynamic loads can produce more fractures and fragments. The concrete strength is influenced by the strain rate and the strength increases almost linearly with the increase of the strain rate.

Particularly in terms of carbon fiber (CF) rovings and further high performance fibers, it is a highly demanding task to clamp technical yarns with low elongations at break during high-speed tensile tests due to their sensitivity to shear stress. For fibers to be tested, a low elongation at break results in short testing times and requires high acceleration. In this paper, four different yarn grips that can be applied with various test machines will be introduced and compared to a wedge screw grip. By using most sensitive CF rovings, advantages and disadvantages of these gripping devices will be qualitatively evaluated by means of testing machines with test speeds of up to 20 m/s and strain rates of up to 200 s-1, respectively. Hence, the reproducibility and precision of test results were considerably enhanced by optimizing the geometry and mass of yarn grips. Moreover, theoretical approaches and calculations for the design of yarn grips suitable for test speeds of up to 100 m/s will be presented.

The phenomenon of creation of adiabatic shear bands occurring at extreme strains of investigated material is analysed in the paper. The effects of penetration for projectiles made of depleted uranium and tungsten sinters were compared to analyse an influence of the adiabatic shear bands into the process of penetration and to show some possibilities for structural modification of tungsten sinters increasing the penetration capabilities. The comparative analyses were conducted on the base of literature review.
The behaviour of carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) powder relevant to its densification at low pressure was determined given different equipment aspect ratios (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5) and varying rates of deformation (5.5, 10 and 14.5 mm min-1). The effects of both parameters were examined through the analysis of variance and trends were fitted to observed mechanical responses using standard regression technique. Both aspect ratio and the time rate of deformation had highly significant effects on the material’s response to load. Strain rate and specific power requirement were power functions of the equipment’s aspect ratio, at all rates of deformation. These findings furnish insights on mechanical response in compressed food powders which are applicable in modelling related food handling and processing systems.
In this study, medium-carbon steel was subjected to warm deformation experiments on a Gleeble 3500 thermosimulator machine at temperatures of 550°C and 650°C and strain rates of 0.001 s-1 to 1 s-1. The warm deformation behavior of martensite and the effects of strain rate on the microstructure of ultrafine grained medium-carbon steel were investigated. The precipitation behavior of Fe3C during deformation was analyzed and the results showed that recrystallization occurred at a low strain rate. The average ultrafine ferrite grains of 500 ± 58 nm were fabricated at 550°C and a strain rate of 0.001 s-1. In addition, the size of Fe3C particles in the ferrite grains did not show any apparent change, while that of the Fe3C particles at the grain boundaries was mainly affected by the deformation temperature. The size of Fe3C particles increased with the increasing deformation temperature, while the strain rate had no significant effect on Fe3C particles. Moreover, the grain size of recrystallized ferrite decreased with an increase in the strain rate. The effects of the strain rate on the grain size of recrystallized ferrite depended on the deformation temperature and the strain rate had a prominent effect on the grain size at 550°C deformation temperature. Finally, the deformation resistance apparently decreased at 550°C and strain rate of 1 s-1 due to the maximum adiabatic heating in the material.

The temperature evolution and the mechanical characteristics of pseudoelasticity TiNi alloys have been studied experimentally at different strain rates. During SHPB testing, the temperature changes were in situ measured by an infrared system recording infrared radiation emitted from the surface of the specimen. It was found that the temperature evolution and the mechanical behavior has a remarkable strain rate effect. With the strain rate increasing, both phase transition subsequent stress and modulus of loading the phase transition stage were higher, exhibiting significant strain and the strain rate hardening characteristic. They were accompanied by the temperature increasing, which suggest that the stress increments result from the temperature change, independently of the strain rate. Calculation analysis results show that latent heat and the dissipated energy in the form of the hysteresis loops, are mainly the sources of the temperature change.

Przedstawiono różnicę pomiędzy odkształcaniem quasi-statycznym a dynamicznym materiałów metalicznych. Dla dużych szybkości odkształceń naprężenie (odkształcenie) w ciałach przemieszcza się z określonymi prędkościami jako fala. Odkształcanie dynamiczne związane jest z rozchodzeniem się fali, natomiast statyczne można rozpatrywać jako okresowe stany równowagi. Przy niedużych szybkościach odkształceń ciało pozostaje w warunkach izotermicznych, a dla dynamicznych procesów odkształcenia jest to proces adiabatyczny. Wprowadzono pojęcie naprężenia progowego ?^ (ang. mechanical threshold stress), które jest maksymalną wartością naprężenia dla danego rodzaju materiału metalicznego w temperaturze 0 K lub, ekwiwalentnie, przy nieskończenie dużej szybkości odkształcenia. Z obniżeniem temperatury następuje zmniejszenie się ruchliwości dyslokacji. Zjawisko to jest związane ze spadkiem zdolności poruszania się atomów w sieci w obniżonych wartościach temperatury, których ruchy drgające całkowicie ustają w temperaturze 0 K. Pojęcie naprężenia progowego zostało zobrazowane za pomocą przykładu obliczeniowego.

The article presents the difference between the quasi-static and dynamic strain of metallic materials. At the high strain rate, stress (strain) in metallic materials moves with specified velocities as a wave. The dynamic deformation is related to the propagation of the wave while the static deformation can be seen as temporary states of equilibrium. At small speed deformations, the body remains in isothermal conditions, while the dynamic strain processes are the adiabatic processes. The concept of the mechanical threshold stress ?^ has been introduced, which is the maximum stress value for the particular type of metallic material for 0 K or, equivalently, infinitely high speed deformation. With the decrease of the temperature, there is a reduction of the dislocation mobility. This phenomenon is associated with a decrease in mobility of atoms in the network at reduced temperatures, which vibrating movement completely stops at 0 K. The concept of the mechanical threshold stress has been illustrated using the calculation example.
