Amorphous alloys, in addition to being promising materials for a variety of practical applications, provide an excellent test bed for evaluating our understanding of the underlying physics on deformation in amorphous solids. Like many amorphous materials, amorphous alloys can exhibit either homogeneous or inhomogeneous deformation depending on the stress level. The mode of deformation has a strong influence on whether the material behavior is classified as ductile or brittle. It was observed that the characteristics of these deformations are largely dependent on the atomic-scale structures of the alloys and determine the amount of the plastic deformation prior to failure. In this study, the structural features that control the homogeneous deformation of amorphous alloys are outlined on the basis on experiments and molecular dynamics simulations.

An elastic-plasticity model during the austenitic decomposition was derived and implemented to incorporate the two important deformation behaviors observed during the phase transformations: the volumetric strain and transformation induced plasticity due to the temperature change and phase transformation. To obtain transformed phase volume fractions during cooling, the fourth order Runge-Kutta method was used to solve the Kirkaldy's phase kinetics model which is function of temperature, austenitic grain size and chemical composition. The volumetric strain was calculated by considering the densities of constituent phases, while the transformation induced plasticity was based on the micro-plasticity due to the volume mismatch between soft austenitic phase and other harder phases. The constitutive equations were implemented into the implicit finite element software and a simple boundary value problem was chosen as a model problem to validate the effect of transformation plasticity on the deformation behavior of steel under cooling from high temperature. It was preliminary concluded that the transformation plasticity plays a critical role in relaxing the developed stress during forming and thus reducing the magnitude of springback.

In this paper, to prediction of large deformation behavior of steel structures under loading, 3-Dimensional elastic-plastic FE analysis method is developed by using finite deformation theory and proposed cyclic plasticity model. The accuracy of developed analytical method was verified by comparison of experiment result and analysis results using infinitesimal deformation theory. The good agreement between analysis result by developed analytical method and experiment result is shown. Proposed 3-dimensional FE analysis using finite deformation theory and cyclic plasticity hysteresis model can be predict the large deformation of steel members under cyclic loading.

Deformation surrounding the hole in the tube during the hydro-piercing process has been investigated in this study. The tube is expanded and internally pressurized between upper and lower dies, and a piercing punch is driven forcefully through a cross passage in the die and through the wall of the tube. The pressurized fluid within the tube provides support to the wall of the tube during a piercing step to form a hole in the tube having less deformation surrounding the hole in the tube. The deformation area may be fully retracted to a substantially flat form or partially retracted to a countersunk form. In this study, a mathematical model that can predict deformation surrounding the hole has been proposed and experimentally verified by actual hydro-piercing test.

Mg alloys have drawn a huge attention in the field of transportation and consumer electronics industries since it is the lightest alloy which could be industrially applicable. Most Mg alloy components have been fabricated by casting method. However, there have been a lot of research activities on the wrought alloys and their plastic forming process recently. The deformation behavior of an AZ31 Mg alloy at the elevated temperature was examined firstly to find out the optimum plastic forming range in terms of temperature and strain rate. During high temperature deformation, AZ31 alloy is usually undergone the dynamic recrystallization which influence the deformation behavior in turn. In the present study, the effect of deformation on dynamic recrystallization of an AZ31 alloy was investigated to clarify the relation between the deformation and recrystallization. In an AZ31 alloy system, the dynamic recrystallization was found to occur continuously. Recrystallized grain size was dependent on the stress level.

In this study, a deformation mechanism map of metallic nanocrystalline materials(NCMs) using the phase mixture model is proposed. It is based on recent modeling that appears to provide a conclusive description of the phenomenology and the mechanisms underlying the mechanical properties of NCMs. The proposed models adopted the concept of a 'phase mixture' in which the grain interior and the grain boundaries are treated as separate phases. The volume fraction of this grain boundary 'phase' may be quite appreciable in a NCM. Based on the theoretical model that provides an adequate description of the grain size dependence of plasticity covering all grain size range from coarse down to the nanoscale, the tensile deformation response of NCMs, especially focusing on the deformation mechanisms was investigated. The deformation mechanism map is newly proposed with axes of strain rate, grain size and temperature.

Dynamic deformation of metallic materials mostly accompanies substantial amounts of deformation heat. Since the flow stress of deformation is sensitive to temperature implication of heat due to plastic work is essential to the evaluation of constitutive relations. In this study a series of compression tests were conducted for SAF 2507 super duplex stainless steel and the accumulation of deformation heat was calculated through numerical integration method. Isothermal flow surfaces were deduced from subsequent logarithmic interpolation. Simple closed die forging process was analyzed and optimized with commercial FEM code applying both raw and calibrated material database.

The dynamic softening behavior of type 430 ferritic stainless steel could be characterized by the hot torsion test in the temperature range of 900-110$0^{\circ}C$ and the strain rate range of 0.05-5/sec. It is found that the continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) was a major dynamic softening mechanism. The effects of process variables strain ($\varepsilon$) stain rate($\varepsilon$)and temperature (T) on CDRX could be individually established from the analysis of flow stress curves and microstructure. The effect of CDRX individually established from the analysis of flow stress curves and microstructure. The effect of CDRX increased with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature in continuous deformation. The multipass deformation processes were performed with 10 pass deformations. The CDRX effect occurred in multipass deformatioon. The grain refinement could be achieved from multipass deformation The grain refinement increased with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature. Also the CDRX in multipass deformation was affected by interpass time and pass strain. The total strain was to be found key parameter to occur CDRX.

In this present study, an attempt was made to determine the deformation mode of the Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be bulk metallic glass by compression test over a wide range of temperatures and strain rates. From the results, empirical deformation map could be constructed including the boundaries of different deformation modes. Considering power dissipation map and instability map developed on the basis of the Dynamic Materials Model (DMM), the processing map for extrusion could also be constructed. In addition, the macroscopic formability of this BMG alloy has also been examined through the extrusion in laboratory scale within undercooled liquid state. From the results of macroscopic extrusion formability, both deformation map and processing map present good criteria to determine optimal forming conditions.

Asymmetrical rolling was performed with different working roll speeds of upper and lower rolls. In order to promote the shear deformation during asymmetrical rolling, various deformation parameters of initial sheet thickness, rolling reduction, roll speed ratio and roll radius are considered. The evolution of texture during asymmetrical rolling was shown by the calculation of orientation distribution function (ODF). The effect of deformation parameters on shea. deformation were investigated by simulations with the finite element method (FEM). Asymmetrical rolling gave rise to the development of pronounced strain gradients throughout the thickness layers which resulted in the formation of strong texture gradients in the sheet.
