Numerical Simulation on Adiabatic Shearing Behavior of Vanadium Alloy V-5Cr-5Ti Hat-Shaped Specimen

Abstract:

In this work, LS-DYNA program was adopted to simulate the loading process of Vanadium Alloy specimen conducted on the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) in two dimensions. Based on the Johnson-Cook material constitutive relation and criterion of Johnson-Cook failure, the initiation, propagation process of an adiabatic shear band (ASB) and the corresponding distribution of temperature field in the vanadium alloy V-5Cr-5Ti hat-shaped specimen are analyzed. The field of stress, strain and temperature in the tip of an ASB, and the spread speed, the width as well as the type of the ASB are all studied. It is shown that the formation of the ASB is related to the loading velocity and the size of the hat-shaped specimen. And formation of mircocracks and their interlinkage are primary shearing failure mechanism of hat-shaped specimen.
