Constitutive modeling of dynamic strain aging in niobium

download PDFAbstract. As the temperature rises, metals should lose strength. However, under some combinations of strain rate and temperature, they show a dramatic increase in strength due to the interaction of impurity/solute atoms with the dislocations, a phenomenon known as dynamic strain aging (DSA). Thermomechanical stress-strain curves have been modeled using a variety of numerical approaches, but accurately modeling DSA activation remains a challenge. The activation free energy for dislocation movement rises during DSA, as there are more solute atoms concentrated at the local barriers. As a result, we see an increase in strength. This work modifies the physical parameters-based VA model for commercially pure bcc Niobium, which is known to display DSA at low strain rates and elevated temperatures, in order to create a constitutive model that can accurately capture DSA.
