Abstract: The shear stress–strain response of an aluminum alloy is measured to a shear strain of the order of one using a pure torsion experiment on a thin-walled tube. The material exhibits plastic anisotropy that is established ...

Abstract: The inelastic response and failure of Al-6061-T6 tubes under combined internal pressure and tension is investigated as part of a broader study of ductile failure of Al-alloys. A custom experimental setup is used to load ...
