Abstract The dynamic behaviour of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo additively manufactured by electron beam melting (EBM) is presented in this study considering synchronised tension-torsion loading. A bespoke spilt Hopkinson Tension-Torsion bar is used to generate combined tensile and torsional stress pulses that interact simultaneously with a novel specimen geometry. High-speed digital imaging correlation techniques are employed to assess the high-rate deformation and crack propagation of the specimen. The material's dynamic response was analysed across a spectrum of stress states, including uniaxial tension, shear, and combinations of tension and shear at strain rates ranging between 500 s^-1 and 2000 s^-1.

Abstract A novel and irreversible phase field model accounting for tension-torsion coupling effect and size-effect is constructed in the context of continuum thermodynamics. First, a general framework considering the energy dissipation process influenced by micro and macro force is formulated according to thermodynamically consistent derivation. Next, the framework is specialized by introducing a material parameter called chiral coefficient to characterize the tension-torsion coupling effect within macro force constitutive according to isotropic micropolar elasticity theory. To gain insight of the chiral effect on the fracture behaviors, the analytical solution of uniaxial traction chiral rod is provided based More >
