Abstract
Adiabatic shearing is a typical response of materials under high strain rate loading. Based on the instability analysis for the thermo-viscoplastic constitutive model, a new rate-dependent failure criterion is proposed, where the failure strain decreases with the increment in strain rate. Using the finite element simulation of the Mode-II impact problem for the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, we verified the damage mechanism induced by adiabatic shear band (ASB) under this rate-dependent failure criterion. Also the ASB propagation path and the width of localized shear band are predicted, which is in a good agreement with experimental observation.
