Abstract

Plastic deformation behavior of electrodeposited copper films with thickness of 12 μm was investigated by using a testing system employed an electro-dynamic actuator. During the fatigue tests, cyclic plastic strain and ratcheting strain were measured continuously with high precision by using the capacitance extensometer. Since the displacement gage is stable and its response is so fast, the deformation can be measured in real time during fatigue tests as well as tensile tests. The cyclic plastic strain range and monotonic plastic strain increase with loading cycles and they are similar to the conventional creep curve. The monotonic plastic strain at fracture is nearly constant, irrespective of mean stress, indicating that the monotonic plastic strain can be used as an indicator of damage. Based on these results, a prediction method for the monotonic plastic strain is proposed. It could be found from the prediction results that the monotonic plastic strain is well predicted.
