Ductile fracture modelling is extensively used in the automotive, aerospace, aluminium and steel industries. However, these models are often only validated in a limited region of stress states, for example tensile failure by void growth but not shear. In addition, the predictions generally do not include strain rate or temperature effects. Quasistatic tests are often used in calibration, even though many applications such as automotive accidents and ballistic impact operate in the dynamic range. Thus the aims of this thesis were to develop a system to test the damage properties of materials at both quasistatic (≈ 1 s-¹) and dynamic (> 1 x 10³s-¹) strain rates, and then to determine the innfuence of strain rate to ductile fracture. 2015-09-25T07:33:56Z 2015-09-25T07:33:56Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/14084 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
