Abstract: The dynamic response of the turbine blade materials is indispensable for analysis of
erosions of turbine blades as a result of impulsive loading associated with gas flow. This paper is
concerned with the dynamic material properties of the Inconel 718 alloy which is widely used in the
high speed turbine blade. The dynamic response at the corresponding level of the strain rate should be
acquired with an adequate experimental technique and apparatus due to the inertia effect and the
stress wave propagation. In this paper, the dynamic response of the Inconel 718 at the intermediate
strain rate ranged from 1/s to 400/s is obtained from the high speed tensile test and that at the high
strain rate above 1000/s is obtained from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test. The effects of the
strain rate on the dynamic flow stress, the strain rate sensitivity and the failure elongation are
evaluated with the experimental results. Experimental results from both the quasi-static and the high
strain rate up to 3000/s are interpolated in order to construct the constitutive relation that should be
applied to simulate the dynamic behavior of the turbine blade made of the Inconel 718.

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the thermo-mechanical behavior of steel sheet for an autobody
including the temperature dependent strain-rate sensitivity. Tensile tests have been carried out
with the high strength steel sheets such as SPRC35R, SPRC45E and TRIP60. The tensile tests were
performed with the variation of the strain-rates from 0.001/s to 200/s and with the variation of
environmental temperatures from -40 to 200. The thermo-mechanical response at the quasi-static
state is obtained with the static tensile test and the one at the intermediate strain-rate is obtained with
the high speed tensile test. Both the strain-rate and the temperature sensitivity of the flow stress are
calculated for the quantitative evaluation of thermo-mechanical behavior of steel sheets. The results
demonstrate that as the strain-rate increases, the variation of the flow stress becomes more dependent
on the temperature. The results also indicate that the material properties of SPRC35R are more
sensitive to the strain-rate and the temperature than those of SPRC45E and TRIP60.

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the dynamic characteristics of sinter-forged Cu–Cr alloy for
various strain-rates. The amount of the chrome content is varied from 10 %wt to 30 %wt in order to
investigate the influence of the chrome content on the dynamic characteristics. The dynamic response
at the corresponding level of strain-rate should be obtained with an adequate experimental technique
and corresponding apparatus due to the inertia effect and the stress wave propagation. In this paper,
the high speed tensile testing machine is utilized in order to identify the dynamic response of the
Cu–Cr alloy at the intermediate strain-rates and the split Hopkinson pressure bar is used at the high
strain-rates. Experimental results from both the quasi-static and the high strain-rates up to the 5000/s
are interpolated with respect to the amount of the chrome content in order to construct the
Johnson–Cook and the modified Johnson–Cook model as the constitutive relation for numerical
simulation of the dynamic impact behavior of electrodes.

Abstract: Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) process at the room temperature has been proposed newly to achieve the shape accuracy and to overcome the sticking problem induced in conventional NIL processes. Success of the room temperature NIL relies on the complete understanding of the mechanical behavior of the polymer. Since a conventional NIL process has to heat a polymer above the glass transition temperature to deform the physical shape of the polymer with a mold pattern,
visco-elastic properties of the polymer have major effect on the NIL process. The rate dependent behavior of the polymer is also important in the room temperature NIL process because a mold is rapidly pressed onto the polymer while there has been no study on the rate-dependent NIL process. In this paper, finite element analysis of the room temperature NIL process is performed with the consideration of the strain-rate dependent behavior of the polymer. The analyses with the variation of
the imprinting speed and the imprinting pattern are carried out in order to investigate the effect of the process parameters on the room temperature NIL process. The analysis results show that the deformed shape and the imprinting force are diversified with the variation of the imprinting speed due to the dynamic behavior of the polymer with the rate dependent plasticity model. The results provide a
guideline to determine the process conditions in the room temperature NIL process.
