Abstract: The cyclic hardening behavior of metallic materials at a prescribed constant plastic strain rate is investigated. The development is within the framework of the endochronic theory of viscoplasticity. ...

Abstract: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) plates with angled elliptic notch are experimentally investigated under monotonic tension. The major interests of this investigation are the direction of crack initiation ...

Abstract: An analysis of test system misalignment is presented for dynamic tension test. Sheet type rectangular 1100-0 aluminum specimens are used for discussion. For a constant strain rate tension test, ...
