Mesoscale plastic flow instability in a solid under high-rate deformation

Аннотация

Here we consider high-rate deformation in solids in the context of a nonlocal transport theory, present a dynamic stress-strain diagram with elastic and plastic portions defined from a single standpoint, determine the conditions for pulse stress accumulation, and propose a mathematical model of momentum and energy exchange between scales and an instability criterion for transient plastic flow under shock loading. Phe instability criterion for high-rate deformation is verified by the example of shock loading of high-strength 30CrNi4Mo steel.
