Evaluation of the collapsing thick-walled cylinder technique for shear-band spacing

Abstract

The thick-walled cylinder (TWC) technique was successfully used to investigate the shear-band patterning in AISI 304 stainless steel. Several factors that may influence the shear-band distribution and spacing in the TWC configuration were examined. The role of machining, annealing, and shrink fitting, as well as the variation of the shear-band distribution along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical specimen were evaluated. Experimental results indicate that the machined surface at the internal boundary of the cylindrical specimen, where shear bands initiate, provides a strain-hardened layer that significantly changes the condition for their initiation. Specimens with such a layer have a higher density of bands with a smaller spacing, in comparison with those without a work-hardened layer. The nature of contact interface in the cylindrical specimen assembly, either causing a clearance that changes the initial loading conditions or introducing a pre-strained layer with shrink-fitting technique, does not influence the spacing of shear bands, but does affect the evolution and development of multiple shear bands at the initial stage. The distribution of shear bands along the cylinder has a constant spacing but the maximum lengths of bands are sensitive to the position. The collapse process of the cylindrical specimen was simulated by using the RAVEN hydrocode. The deformation, temperature, and velocity histories during the cylinder collapse were calculated. The calculated results are in good agreement with the previous experimental data. r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A simplified mesh‐free method for shear bands with cohesive surfaces

“…Nesterenko et al [56], Xue et al [57], Meyers et al [58], Shih et al [59] performed a series of multiple shear banding experiments in cylinders for different type of materials and different dimensions. The test-set up is shown in figure 23.…”

“…We carried out two dimensional computations and modelled also the explosive. The density of the explosive is 0.9g/cm 3 and the detonation velocity is according to Xue et al [57] 4000 m/s. They also measured the initial velocity of the inner wall of the tube (200 m/s) that can be used for the numerical simulation.…”

The shock compression of microorganism-loaded broths and emulsions: Experiments and simulations

“…Figure 5 shows the deformation of the cover from the experiment and the simulation; in both cases the impact velocity of the flyer plate was 446 m/s. Firstly it can be seen that the distinct similarity of the final profile gives confidence in the Johnson-Cook model for the stainless steel that was taken from [26]. Secondly, it is evident that the ductility of the steel used here was advantageous in allowing the plastic flow into the cavity.…”

“…12 stainless steel and the copper were taken from the AUTODYN material library whilst the Johnson-Cook strength model for the stainless steel was taken from [26]. The Johnson-Cook model for the copper is based on a slight modification to the one provided in the AUTODYN material library and was provided by [27].…”
