Abstract: Discontinuously reinforced aluminum (DRA) is currently used where design considerations include specific stiffness, tailorable coefficient of thermal expansion, or wear resistance. Plastic deformation ...

Abstract: A generalized threshold function for viscoplastic materials, which can also serve as a yield function in rate-independent plasticity, is suggested for materials that exhibit a strength differential ...

Abstract: A nonproportional strain-controlled load path consisting of two segments was applied to the cobalt-based alloy Haynes 188 at 650°C. The first segment was purely axial; the axial strain was ...
