C2 - Material laws and identification

Forschungsschwerpunkte

The development of dislocation structures under non-monotonic loading with large strains will be analyzed using continuum dislocation theory. The development of back-stresses and hardening effects will be related to the underlying physics. An additional goal is to analyze metal forming processes that are relevant for the research center. The behavior of high-strength aluminium alloys will be described by models with nonlinear kinematic and distortional hardening that have already been developed in the project.
