Abstract

A computer simulation using the finite element method is carried out in the present work to model a hot compression test. Real constitutive equations of the hot flow behaviour of a medium carbon microalloyed steel, experimentally determined, are implemented in a commercial computer code and an inverse analysis is performed to determine under which conditions the experimental test can be considered as valid. In other words, the degree of strain and strain rate heterogeneity as well as the isothermatility of the test, for the given material, are verified. The effect of the friction coefficient is also included in the current analysis.
