Abstract
This article is a first attempt to determine the influence of the initial texture and strain rate on the dynamic anisotropic behaviour of a material with a (mainly) hexagonal crystal structure. For this research a commercial Ti6Al4V alloy was used, composed mainly of a hexagonal α-phase. By quasi-static (servo-hydraulical) and dynamic (SHPB) compression testing along different axes on the initially textured material, the influence of the texture on the mechanical anisotropy was investigated. To determine the influence of twinning on the overall deformation behaviour, a microstructural investigation was done using different characterization techniques (optical, SEM, EBSD, TEM). This study will show that for the material used in this study, the initial texture and the associated activation of twinning as a deformation mechanism have a profound effect on the mechanical behaviour for both the quasi-static as for the dynamic loading conditions.

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.
