Abstract
The occurrence of adiabatic shear bands during high strain rate deformation of metals has been analyzed using a finite element approach. It was found that these bands occur at inhomogeneities in the microstructure and result from the competing processes of strain hardening and adiabatic heating. In microstructures which are reinforced by the presence of hard precipitates or second phase particles, the adiabatic shear bands are confined to narrow spacings between such hard precipitates and thus are narrow in shape with very large strains within the bands leading to microcracks. In more homogeneous microstructures, the bands are wider, with lower total strains and less susceptibility to damage. This theory is verified by several experiments on metals and alloys including steels, titanium, and aluminum/alumina composites. In all these experiments, the occurrence of shear bands is associated with the precipitates’ spacing in the microstructure where they can initiate and develop.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
