Quasi-static and dynamic loading responses and constitutive modeling of titanium alloys

Abstract The results from a systematic study of the response of a Ti–6Al–4V alloy under quasi-static and dynamic loading, at different strain rates and temperatures, are presented. The correlations and predictions using modified Khan–Huang–Liang (KHL) viscoplastic constitutive model are compared with those from Johnson–Cook (JC) model and experimental observations for this strain rate and temperature-dependent material. Overall, KHL model correlations and predictions are shown to be much closer to the observed responses, than the corresponding JC model predictions and correlations. Similar trend has been demonstrated for other titanium alloys using published experimental data [Mech. Mater. 33(8) (2001) 425; J. Mech. Phys. Solids 47(5) (1999) 1157].
