Transformation plasticity is that when a phase transformation of ferrous or non-ferrous alloys progresses even under an extremely small applied stress compared with a yield stress of the material, a permanent deformation occurs. One of widely accepted description for the transformation was proposed by Greenwood and Johnson [1]. Their description is based on an assumption that a weaker phase of an ideal plastic material could deform plastically to accommodate the externally applied stress and the internal stress caused by the volumetric change accompanying the phase transformation. In this study, an implicit finite element model was developed to simulate the deformation behavior of a low carbon steel during phase transformation. The finite element model was coupled with a phase field model, which could simulate the kinetics for ferrite to austenite transformation of the steel. The thermo-elasto-plastic constitutive equation for each phase was adopted to confirm the weaker phase yielding, which was proposed by Greenwood and Johnson [1]. From the simulation, the origin of the transformation plasticity was quantitatively discussed comparing with the other descriptions of it.

This paper presents a method of elastic-plastic analysis for planar steel frames that provides the accuracy of distributed plasticity methods with the computational efficiency that is greater than that of distributed plasticity methods but less than that of plastic-hinge based methods. This method accounts for the effect of spread of plasticity accurately without discretization through the cross-section of a beam-column element, which is achieved by the following procedures. First, nonlinear equations describing the relationships between generalized stresses and strains of the cross-section are derived analytically. Next, nonlinear force-deformation relationships for the beam-column element are obtained through lengthwise integration of the generalized strains. Elastic-plastic flexibility coefficients are then calculated by differentiating the above element force-deformation relationships. Finally, an elastic-plastic stiffness matrix is obtained by making use of the flexibility-stiffness transformation. Adding the conventional geometric stiffness matrix to the elastic-plastic stiffness matrix results in the tangent stiffness matrix, which can readily be used to evaluate the load carrying capacity of steel frames following standard nonlinear analysis procedures. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by several examples that are sensitive to the effect of spread of plasticity.

Mechanical properties of two types of polycrystlline {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} with different grain size were investigated. A fine grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} has a higher fracture strength and hardness. Plot of strength versus Vickers indentation load indicated that {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} has a high flaw tolerance. Hertzian indentation test using a spherical indenter was used to study elastic and plastic behavior in {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }}. Indentation stress-strain curves of each material are made to evaluate the plasticity of {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} Both find and coarse grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} showed high plasticity. In-dentation stress-strain curve of coarse grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} deviated even more from an ideal elastic limit in-dicating exceptional plasticity in this material. Deformation zones were formed below the contact as well as around the contact area in both materials but the size of deformation zone in coarse grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} was much larger than that in fine grain {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} Intragrain slip and kink would account for high plasticity. Plastic behavior of {{{{ { { Ti}_{3 }SiC }_{2 } }} was strongly influenced by grain size.

A practical example of the axisymmetric deep drawing process is simulated by the elastic-plastic finite element analysis using updated Lagrangian approach considering the large deformation. An approach is suggested to solve the problem of the ductile fracture that may encounter during the deep drawing process. The result can be applied to the design of the die for the axisymmetric deep drawing.

The technology of incremental forming has drawn attention for small-batch production of sheet metal components. In the present investigation a forming tool containing a freely-rotating ball was developed and applied to forming experiments. Deformation characteristics including crack occurred during forming with this tool was examined for full annealed Al1050 sheet. The finite element analysis was successfully applied to this special type of forming process, and provided results that agree well with the measurements.

Caliber design in bar and rod rolling depends on the designer's experience, which in general is acquired through costly trial-and-error process. As a prerequisite for developing a scientific approach to caliber design, we present a finite element model to simulate 3-D deformation of bars and rods occurring in multi-pass sequence. The results are compared with measurements obtained from POSCO for to assess the solution accuracy. The comparison shows that the simulation results agree well experiments.

In describing the plastic deformation behaviour of fine grained materials a phase mixture model in which a polycrystalline material is regarded as a mixture of a crystalline phase and a grain boundary phase has been successful. The deformation mechanism for the grain boundary phase which is necessary for applying the phase mixture model is modelled as a diffusional flow of matter though the grain boundary. The proposed model can explain the strain rate and grain size dependence of the strength of the grain boundary phase.

The effect of the cross-rolling on the evolution of the deformation texture and the subsequent annealing texture was studied in 5182 aluminium alloy. The orientation density near {011}<110>. The weak ${\beta}$-fiber orientations in the deformation texture lead to the randomization of the annealing texture, whereas the strong ${\beta}$-fiber orientations lead to the strong Cube orientation in the annealing texture. The development of the strong rotated Cube orientation in the annealing texture seemed to be related with the decrease in the R-value.

Finite element calculations are performed for crystalline solids subjected to plane strain tensile loading. Using Asaro's double slop model, shearband developments in single crystals are analyzed. The effect of various rate sensitivities and latent hardening parameters on microscopic plastic behavior was clarified. Moreover the deformation behavior of polycystals which have grain boundaries was compared to that of single crystals.

Viscoplastic deformation and sheet forming behavior of multicomponent Zr-based bulk metallic glass alloy has been investigated. From a series of mechanical test results, basic processing maps based on Dynamic Materials Model have been constructed to establish feasible forming conditions. Stamping in laboratory scale was then performed at the various stroke speeds and temperatures using a hydraulic press. Failure in macroscopic level was examined to check the validity of constructed processing maps.
