Abstract
The mechanical properties of the titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V, which vary with the specimen size under different temperatures, are studied through the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) test and the quasi-static tensile test to determine the parameters for the classical Johnson-Cook (JC) constitutive model. Based on the dislocation pile-up theory, the classical JC constitutive model is modified by adding a grain strain term Δσ to consider the influence of grain size. The SHPB and tensile tests are analysed using a finite element method simulation. Compared with the experimental results, the simulation results based on the modified JC model exhibit a much higher calculation accuracy than that of the classical JC model.
