Quasi-Static Compression Stress-Strain Curves--IV, 2024-T3510 and 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloys

Abstract

This report presents results of quasi-static compression tests of 2024-T3510 and 6061-T6 aluminum alloy rods performed at 22 C. The yield strengths, Poisson's ratios and Young's moduli are reported. An analysis of the variation of Poisson's ratio with strain, based on classical plasticity assumption, is presented and compared with the tests. In light of these test results, the necessity for a reinterpretation of the compressibility of metals accompanying plastic flow is demonstrated.
