Thermal Imaging of Metals in a Kolsky-Bar Apparatus

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Eric P. Whitenton, Richard L. Rhorer, Howard W. Yoon, D Basak, Richard J. Fields, Lyle E. Levine, Timothy J. Burns
For materials testing at elevated temperatures, we describe the design and the development of a resistively heated Kolsky-bar apparatus. The temperature of the sample is determined by non-contact thermometry and the spatial temperature gradients in the

Material Model for Strain-Induced Surface Roughening of Sheet Metal

May 1, 2002
Author(s)
Y Shim, Mark R. Stoudt, Lyle E. Levine, Stephen W. Banovic, Richard J. Fields
A generic model for strain-induced surface roughening has been derived from a statistical analysis of experimental data from aluminum alloys. The model predicts the surface roughening in sheet metal as a function of strain and grain size. Our analyses

Critical Behavior of a Strain Percolation Model for Metals

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
Y Shim, Lyle E. Levine, R M. Thomson
Extensive simulations of a strain percolation model for a deforming metal have been performed to examine its strain behavior. We find that the total strain exhibits critical power-law behavior that is well explained by two-dimensional percolation theory

Self-Organized Critical Behavior in a Deforming Metal

July 1, 2001
Author(s)
Y Shim, Lyle E. Levine, R Thomson
It has been shown that the transport of mobile dislocations through blocking dislocation walls in a deforming metal can be treated by a simple percolation theory. Two different mechanisms for strain propagation are proposed in the strain percolation model

Strain Percolation: Physical Considerations

July 1, 2001
Author(s)
Lyle E. Levine, R M. Thomson, Y Shim
In previous papers, we have introduced a percolation model for the transport of strain through a deforming metal. In this paper, we review the results from that model, and discuss how the model can be applied to the deformation problem. We summarize the

X-Ray Scattering and Imaging From Plastically Deformed Metals

July 1, 2001
Author(s)
Gabrielle G. Long, Lyle E. Levine, Richard J. Fields
New ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) facilities at 3rd generation synchrotron sources enjoy an additional 1 to 3 decades of X-ray brilliance over 2nd generation instruments, and can now quantify microstructural features from 3nm to 1.3 m in size

In-Situ Observation of Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering by Dislocations

June 1, 2000
Author(s)
Lyle E. Levine, Gabrielle G. Long, R Thomson
Ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering by dislocations in single-crystal aluminum has been observed in situ as a function of plastic deformation. The scattering is observed to be strongly dependent upon sample orientation, with single dislocations, dislocation

Standard Test Methods and Data for Modeling Crashworthiness

June 1, 1998
Author(s)
Richard J. Fields, Timothy J. Foecke, Roland deWit, G E. Hicho, Lyle E. Levine
This report determines what data is typically needed for models predicting crash behavior, reviews the methods available to obtain such data, and identifies standard test methods that need to be developed to supply these data. The data needed are those

Small Angle Scattering by Dislocations

March 1, 1998
Author(s)
R Thomson, Lyle E. Levine, Gabrielle G. Long
It is shown that the small-angle scattering of x rays or neutrons by dislocations in a deformed metal, which are partially ordered into wall-like structures, is characterized by several structure factors. Principally there are associated with 1) a single
