Abstract

In the framework of viscoplastic theory many different laws were developed, accounting for material behaviors like creep, relaxation or evolution of overstresses. Though each model is able to predict in uni-axial material tests the values of stresses depending on plastic strains and plastic strain rates the question is if solutions of simulations are still realistic if the viscoplastic law is applied on structural deformations. In the present study strain rate sensitive metal plates are subjected to shock waves. The purpose is to compare simulation results obtained with different elastic–viscoplastic laws to experiments in order to determine the most appropriate material model. By subjecting circular metal plates experimentally to shock wave loadings realistic deformation histories are measured. The measurements are compared to simulation results obtained with different viscoplastic laws. The aim is to find out the accuracy of each model concerning the predictions of displacements, shape formings, spread of plastic zones and evolutions of inner bending moments.
