    The document discusses two factors that promote stability during plastic deformation: strain hardening and strain rate hardening. Strain hardening causes metals to increase in strength with increasing strain up to the ultimate tensile strength. Strain rate hardening also increases stability, as the higher strain rate within a neck that starts to form during tension testing causes the flow stress in the neck to increase compared to outside the neck, preventing further necking. Certain materials like glass and polymers are highly sensitive to changes in strain rate.

    Strain Hardening
    • During normal plastic deformation metals
    increase in strength with increase in strain
    • The rate of strain hardening decrease with
    increase in strain, as
    • Described by Hollomon relationship
    • ‘N’ is called strain hardening exponent
    • Strain hardening is responsible for stability
    of the material up to UTS
    • Strain hardening is also stabilizing factor
    at the tip of the crack
    • There is an instability criterion i.e. crack to
    propagate
    Strain Rate Hardening
    • This factor also promotes stability during
    plastic deformation.
    • When necking begins in a tension test
    deformation ceases in the part of the gage
    length out side the neck.
    • The deformation continues within the neck
    • E.g. the neck occupies 10% of the gage
    length
    • The strain rate in the neck is 10 times the former
    strain rate in the whole of the gage length before
    necking start.
    • The increased strain rate in an incipient neck
    may then raise the flow stress of the material
    within the neck compare to outside the neck
    • Therefore the neck is prevented from forming
    • The strain rate sensitivity of the flow stress may
    be described by power law
    •
    • The plastic flow strength of some material
    notably glass and thermoplastic polymers
    is strongly sensitive to strain rate
    • Some metals within restricted ranges of
    strain rate and temperature is sensitive to
    strain rate
