The classical theory of elasticity and plasticity does
not recognize explicitly the existence of a "transition
zone" between elastic and plastic states, which instead,
makes extensive use of ad-hoc, semi-empirical laws, such as
yield conditions, at the "yield surface" to match both the
extreme states. In the present investigation, it...
The base Al-Zn superplastic alloy was investigated at 250°C to
determine the effect of small amounts of magnesium on mechanical
properties. Six alloys of nominal composition 0.00, 0.10, 0.25,
0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 weight percent magnesium, constant 78 weight
percent zinc, and variable 21 to 22 weight percent aluminum were...
