Torsion test of aluminum in the large strain range

A series of experiments was conducted on cast and extruded high purity aluminum material under monotonic large strain torsion condition. Both free-end and fixed-end torsions were studied using tubular specimens of different gage lengths (long, medium and short). The experiments used an axial–torsion...

Description
Summary:A series of experiments was conducted on cast and extruded high purity aluminum material under monotonic large strain torsion condition. Both free-end and fixed-end torsions were studied using tubular specimens of different gage lengths (long, medium and short). The experiments used an axial–torsional extensometer. A procedure of calibration for elevated temperature test was determined. The torque versus angle of twist curves were recorded and converted into true shear stress–strain curves by use of the modified Nadai method developed previously by the authors. The axial extension for free-end torsion and the axial stress developed during fixed-end torsion were recorded. The hoop strain was also measured and was found to be approximately 0.8–0.9 times the axial strain when the shear strain is 150%. The effect of specimen geometry was studied. It was found that the long, thick-walled tubular specimen is suitable for torsion test in the large strain range.
