A new composite flow curve statement is presented, which allows good approximation of the flow curve and is suitable for numeric simulations. Without restrictions, it holds over the entire range of validity of a flow curve as a function of plastic strain, plastic strain rate and temperature. Simultaneously, it can be used for any material so that it is well suited for material databases. The number of coefficients used is higher than in other flow curve statements; however, the coefficients are calculated more easily and partially by automatic procedures. The described composite statement can be integrated so that it can be employed in analytical calculations, e.g. of force and power requirements. |
