Abstract
The paper presents results from experimental studies on the influence of loading–unloading processes on the mechanical, linear, and nonlinear properties of the strain-hardening polycrystalline aluminum alloy AMg6 (Rus). The stress–strain curve is measured for AMg6 samples under high-cycle loading–unloading up to fracture of a sample. The microhardness of the sample is measured before and after its fracture. It has been found that the loading–unloading process leads to strain hardening of the AMg6 alloy. The influence of strain hardening of AMg6 on its linear and nonlinear elastic properties is studied by an ultrasonic method. To study the nonlinear elastic properties for different domains of the loading curve, we used the Thurston–Brugger method and spectral method by studying the efficiency of second acoustic harmonic generation. The experimental results are discussed.
