International audienceThe mechanical behaviour of a 22Mn-0.6C-0.2V austenitic TWIP steel has been extensively characterised for a variety of strain ratios (from shear to biaxial stretching) using smooth and notched specimens. A constitutive model involving a non-isotropic yield function together with isotropic and/or kinematic hardening satisfactorily represented the experimental database. It was used to estimate local stress and strain fields and to derive a fracture criterion based on the equivalent stress and Lode angle that were expressed to be consistent with the constitutive equations describing the plastic flow behaviour. A weak dependence on hydrostatic stress further improves prediction of fracture initiation, with an average standard error of less than 5% over ten different mechanical tests
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
