Abstract
The investigation of strain hardening in metals is complex, with the outcome depending on experimental conditions, that may involve microstructural history, temperature and loading rate. Hardening is commonly measured, after mechanical processing, through controlled mechanical testing, in ways that either distinguish elastic (stress) from total deformation measurements, or by identifying plastic slip contributions. In this paper, we conjecture that hardening effects can be unraveled through statistical analysis of total strain fluctuations during the evolution sequence of profiles, measured in-situ, through digital image correlation. In particular, we hypothesize that the work hardening exponent is related, through a power-law relationship, to a particular exponent arising from principal component analysis. We demonstrate a scaling analysis for synthetic data produced by widely applicable crystal plasticity models for polycrystalline solids.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Materials Science: Materials Theory publishes all areas of theoretical materials science and related computational methods. The scope covers mechanical, physical and chemical problems in metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers, functional and biological materials at all scales and addresses the structure, synthesis and properties of materials. Proposing novel theoretical concepts, models, and/or mathematical and computational formalisms to advance state-of-the-art technology is critical for submission to the Journal of Materials Science: Materials Theory.
The journal highly encourages contributions focusing on data-driven research, materials informatics, and the integration of theory and data analysis as new ways to predict, design, and conceptualize materials behavior.
