MULTI-SCALE CHARACTERIZATION OF DEFORMATION IN ALUMINUM

Materials with deformation behavior sensitive to their microstructure may need deformation analysis at multiple scales to establish the relationship between the microstructure and response to deformation processing. In this work, we use in-plane biaxial test (cruciform) to measure the macro- and microstructure-scale mechanical behavior of a 6061-T6 aluminum alloy at various strain paths. We report flow curves, forming and fracture limits as examples to the macromechanical behavior. As an alternative to the tensile test, it is possible to plot flow curves up to larger strains with the cruciform test. Samples also deform uniformly during the cruciform test and do not develop instabilities in the form of local necks. This allows accurate measurements of forming, and especially fracture limits, under a preset and constant strain ratio. The micromechanical behavior, on the other hand, is quite heterogeneous and microstructure sensitive. Strain localizations at the microstructure scale cause large deviations from the global deformation strains and control the ultimate sample failure at the global scale.

Mixed-mode fracture analysis of orthotropic FGM coatings under mechanical and thermal loads
İlhan, Küçük Ayşe; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
In this study, it is aimed to investigate the mixed-mode fracture behavior of orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) coatings bonded to a homogeneous substrate through a homogeneous bond-coat. Analytical and computational methods are used to solve the embedded cracking problems under mechanical or thermal loading conditions. It is assumed that the material property gradation of the FGM coating is in the thickness direction and cracks are parallel to the boundaries. The principal axes of orthotropy a...
Three Dimensional Grain Boundary Modeling in Polycrystalline Plasticity
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Firat, Ali Osman (2018-04-25)
At grain scale, polycrystalline materials develop heterogeneous plastic deformation fields, localizations and stress concentrations due to variation of grain orientations, geometries and defects. Development of inter-granular stresses due to misorientation are crucial for a range of grain boundary (GB) related failure mechanisms, such as stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and fatigue cracking. Local crystal plasticity finite element modelling of polycrystalline metals at micron scale results in stress jumps at...
Transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites
Şen, Özge; Turhan, Doğan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2005)
In this study, transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites is investigated. Thermal effects, in addition to mechanical effects, are taken into consideration. A generalized thermoelasticity theory which incorporates the temperature rate among the constitutive variables and is referred to as temperature-rate dependent thermoelasticity theory is employed. This theory predicts finite heat propagation speeds. The body considered in this thesis consists o...
Multi-scale characterization of particle clustering in discontinuously reinforced composites
CETIN, Arda; Kalkanlı, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-01)
The applicability of a quantitative characterization scheme for cluster detection in particle reinforced composites is discussed. The method considers the pattern from the perspective of individual particles, so that even in a pattern that globally conforms to a random distribution, micro-scale heterogeneities can be detected. The detected clusters are visualized by kernel surfaces. Results indicate that the presented methodology is an effective discriminator of clusters and can successfully be used for qua...
Plastic slip patterns through rate-independent and rate-dependent plasticity
Lancioni, Giovanni; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2014-05-09)
Plastic deformation induces various types of dislocation microstructures at different length scales, which eventually results in a heterogeneous deformation field in metallic materials. Development of such structures manifests themselves as macroscopic hardening/softening response and plastic anisotropy during strain path changes, which is often observed during forming processes. In this paper we present two different non-local plasticity models based on non-convex potentials to simulate the intrinsic rate-...
