Dynamic Tensile Testing of Sheet Steels and Influence of Strain Rate on Strengthening Mechanisms in Sheet Steels

Abstract

The capability to conduct dynamic tensile testing of sheet steels was established and the influence of strain rate on strengthening mechanisms in sheet steels was investigated in this work. Several different automotive sheet steels were studied, including interstitial free (IF) steel, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel, dual phase steel and transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel.
