Plasticity and fracture of aluminium 7075 at high strain rates and elevated temperatures

Slow, intermediate and high strain rate experiments with UT geometries are performed on aluminum AA7075-T6 sheet metal at various temperatures. The comprehensive experimental program characterizes the plasticity response temperatures ranging from 20°C to 360°C rates 0.001/s 150/s. elevated temperature - a hydraulic tensile testing machine Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar system Load Inversion Device along custom-made induction heating system.
