A Coupled Elastoplastic Damage Dynamic Model for Rock by Xuelong Hu, Ming Zhang, Xiangyang Zhang, Min Tu, Zhiqiang Yin, Haifeng Ma, Minke Duan

“…In this model, unified strength theory is taken as the yield criterion; to reflect the different damage evolution law of rocks under tension and pressure conditions, the effective plastic strain and volumetric plastic strain are used to represent the compressive damage variable and the equivalent plastic strain is used to represent the tensile damage variable; the plastic hardening behavior and strain rate effect of rocks are characterized by piecewise function and dynamic increase factor function, respectively; Fortran language and LS-DYNA User-Defined Interface (Umat) are used to numerically implement the constitutive model; the constitutive model is verified by three classical examples of rock uniaxial and triaxial compression tests, rock uniaxial tensile test, and rock ballistic test. …”

The influence of precipitation on the microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of high entropy FeNi1.5CrCu0.5 alloy following cold deformation and annealing by Farideh Salimyanfard, Mohammad Reza Toroghinejad, Mehdi Alizadeh, Parisa Moazzen, Vahid Yousefi Mehr

“…The increase in hardness of the precipitated samples can be attributed to the precipitation hardening process. Conversely, recrystallization during cold rolling leads to a slight decrease in hardness and an increase in formability in the precipitated samples. …”
