The conventional\u0000constant strain-rate requirement in SHPB test is purposely relaxed to generate\u0000rich dynamic flow stress data which are widely and diversely distributed in\u0000plastic strain and strain-rate space. Two groups of independent SHPB tests,\u0000i.e. Group A (without shaper) and Group B (with shaper) were conducted on the\u0000C54400 phosphor-bronze copper alloy at room temperature, obtaining flow stress\u0000data (FSD) (two-dimensional (2D) matrix). Data qualification criteria were\u0000proposed to screen the FSD, with which qualified FSD were obtained. The\u0000qualified FSD of Group A were coarsely filled with missing data and were\u0000reconstructed by the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). As a result,\u0000finely-filled FSD of Group A were obtained, which were carefully evaluated by\u0000the qualified FSD of Group B. The evaluation proves the effectiveness of ANN in\u0000FSD prediction. Next, the finely-filled FSD from Group A were decomposed by\u0000Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method. Discrete and analytical flow stress\u0000equation f(strain, strain-rate)_ana were obtained from the SVD results.\u0000Finally, flow stress equation (f(strain, strain-rate)_MJC) based on\u0000conventional method were established. Five uncertainties inherent in the\u0000conventional method in the determination of the flow stress equation were\u0000identified. The comparison between f(strain, strain-rate)_ana and f(strain,\u0000strain-rate)_MJC demonstrated the effectiveness and reliability of the flow\u0000stress equation obtained from the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":501083,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Applied Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
