Viscoplastic response of structures for intense local heating

Abstract

A thermoviscoplastic finite element method employing the Bodner-Partom constitutive model is used to investigate the response of simplified thermal-structural models to intense local heating. With rapid rises of temperature, the nickel alloy structures display initially higher yield stresses due to strain rate effects. As temperatures approach elevated values, yield stress and stiffness degrade rapidly and pronounced plastic deformation occurs.
