... deformation-induced surface roughness aluminum alloys bending scanning laser confocal microscopy strain localization Closure panels (e.g., hoods, deck lids, lift gates, side doors, and roof panels) are good examples of where the difference in mechanical performance between traditional steel...

.... Editor: Xi Chen. 01 06 2012 03 10 2012 This study addresses the problem of dynamic strain localization in two steel alloys; HSLA-65 and DH-36 at elevated temperatures. It aims at understanding the adiabatic deformation of high strength structural steel by performing a nonlinear...

... and strength on formability characteristics. Both the strength and the ductility of laser welded blanks decreased compared with those of unwelded blanks due to the formation of a softened outer-HAZ, where strain localization and final fracture occurred during tensile testing. The magnitude of softening...

...Xiaohua Hu; David S. Wilkinson; Mukesh Jain; Raja K. Mishra The role of dilute small particles on the development of strain localization under uniaxial tension has been studied by finite element analysis using a plane stress model with two small hard particles embedded in Al matrix. The influence...
