Fracture of Titanium Alloys at High Strain Rates and under Stress Triaxiality
The present study investigates the effect of stress triaxiality on mechanical behavior and fracture of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy in a practical relevant strain rate range from 0.1 to 1000 s−1.Tensile tests were carried out on flat smoothed and notched specimens using an Instron Butter Dish VHS 40/50-20 servo-hydraulic test machine.High-speed video r
