A new viscoplastic theory for CusilABA and other braze alloys has been developed. Like previous viscoplastic theories,this new theory uses a hyperbolic sine function of effective stress in its kinetic equation for the inelastic strain rate. This new theory has an internal state variable which accounts for isotropic hardening and recovery and a second-order, internal state tensor which accounts for kinematic hardening and recovery. Unlike previous theories, the new theory uses evolution equations for the state variables which describe competing mechanisms of power law hardening and static recovery. The evolution equations used in previous theories describe competing mechanisms of linear hardening, dynamic and static recovery. The new viscoplastic theory was implemented in several finite element codes and used in several metal-to-ceramic brazing simulations. Two approaches for obtaining material parameters for the new viscoplastic theory were developed. |
