Modelling of aluminium sheet material at elevated temperatures
The formability of Al–Mg sheet can be improved considerably, by increasing the temperature.\ud
At elevated temperatures, the mechanical response of the material becomes strain rate dependent. To accurately\ud
simulate warm forming of aluminium sheet, a material model is required that incorporates the temperature\ud
and strain-rate dependency. In this paper hardening is described succesfully with a physically based material\ud
model for temperatures up to 200 â—¦C. At higher temperatures and very low strain rates, the flow curve deviates\ud
significantly from the model. Strain rate jumps still pose a serious problem to the model
Modelling of Dynamic Strain Aging with a Dislocation-Based Isotropic Hardening Model and Investigation of Orthogonal Loading
Based on experimental results, a dislocation material model describing the dynamic strain aging\ud
effect at different temperatures is presented. One and two stage loading tests were performed in\ud
order to investigate the influence of the loading direction as well as the temperature influence due\ud
to the hardening mechanism. Bergström’s theory of work hardening was used as a basis for the\ud
model development regarding the thermal isotropic behavior as well as the Chaboche model to\ud
describe the kinematic hardening. Both models were implemented in an in-house FE-Code in\ud
order to simulate the real processes. The present paper discusses two hardening mechanisms,\ud
where the first part deals with the pure isotropic hardening including dynamic strain aging and the\ud
second part involves the influence of the loading direction regarding combined (isotropic and\ud
kinematic) hardening behavior
CocoaSoils data interoperability vision
Data-generative approaches are becoming increasingly common in modern life science research. Agronomy, food, plant sciences, and biodiversity are examples of complementary scientific disciplines that can greatly benefit from the integration and re-sue of the data that they produce. For instance, at WENR ..
Identification of plasticity model parameters of the heat-affected zone in resistance spot welded martensitic boron steel
A material model is developed that predicts the plastic behavior of fully hardened 22MnB5 base material and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) material found around its corresponding resistance spot welds (RSWs). Main focus will be on an accurate representation of strain fields up to high strains, which is required for subsequent calibration of the fracture behavior of both base material and HAZ. The plastic be-havior of the base material is calibrated using standard tensile tests and notched tensile tests and an inverse FEM optimization algorithm. The plastic behavior of the HAZ material is characterized using a specially designed tensile specimen with a HAZ in the gage section. The exact location of the HAZ relative to the center of the RSW is determined using microhardness measurements, which are also used for mapping of the material properties into an FE-model of the specimen. With the parameters of the base material known, and by assuming a linear relation between the hardness and the plasticity model parameters of base material and HAZ, the unknown HAZ parameters are determined using inverse FEM optimization. A coupon specimen with HAZ is used to validate the model at hand
The MUSE-Wide Survey: Survey Description and First Data Release
We present the MUSE-Wide survey, a blind, 3D spectroscopic survey in the
CANDELS/GOODS-S and CANDELS/COSMOS regions. Each MUSE-Wide pointing has a depth
of 1 hour and hence targets more extreme and more luminous objects over 10
times the area of the MUSE-Deep fields (Bacon et al. 2017). The legacy value of
MUSE-Wide lies in providing "spectroscopy of everything" without photometric
pre-selection. We describe the data reduction, post-processing and PSF
characterization of the first 44 CANDELS/GOODS-S MUSE-Wide pointings released
with this publication. Using a 3D matched filtering approach we detected 1,602
emission line sources, including 479 Lyman- (Lya) emitting galaxies
with redshifts . We cross-match the emission line
sources to existing photometric catalogs, finding almost complete agreement in
redshifts and stellar masses for our low redshift (z < 1.5) emitters. At high
redshift, we only find ~55% matches to photometric catalogs. We encounter a
higher outlier rate and a systematic offset of z0.2 when
comparing our MUSE redshifts with photometric redshifts. Cross-matching the
emission line sources with X-ray catalogs from the Chandra Deep Field South, we
find 127 matches, including 10 objects with no prior spectroscopic
identification. Stacking X-ray images centered on our Lya emitters yielded no
signal; the Lya population is not dominated by even low luminosity AGN. A total
of 9,205 photometrically selected objects from the CANDELS survey lie in the
MUSE-Wide footprint, which we provide optimally extracted 1D spectra of. We are
able to determine the spectroscopic redshift of 98% of 772 photometrically
selected galaxies brighter than 24th F775W magnitude. All the data in the first
data release - datacubes, catalogs, extracted spectra, maps - are available on
the website https://musewide.aip.de. [abridged]Comment: 25 pages 15+1 figures. Accepted, A&A. Comments welcom
