  4. Abstract:
  5. Phenomenological constitutive modeling of Ti-6Al-4V at temperatures between 923 and 1023 K under 0.0005–0.05 s−1 quasi-static rates is studied based on a phenomenological approach. For this purpose, the Johnson–Cook constitutive model is revisited. At low temperature conditions under moderate to high strain rates, the material’s stress–strain curves are the most similar to power-law function. Contrary to this, at high temperature conditions under low to moderate strain rates, the saturation-type function well describes the stress–strain curves. On the other hand, it is illustrated that the Johnson–Cook constitutive model is feeble to predict the material’s behavior correctly. Accordingly, in this study, a viscoplastic temperature-dependent constitutive model is developed. The strain rate hardening as well as thermal softening of the developed model is the same as the Johnson–Cook model. But a temperature-dependent strain hardening function is proposed in which both the saturation-type and power-law hardening behaviors of the material are implemented. In comparison with the Johnson–Cook model, the new constitutive model’s fidelity in capturing the titanium behavior is depicted. At last, by considering an Arrhenius-type phenomenological constitutive model, it is noted that the developed constitutive model has the best correctness in predicting the Ti-6Al-4V stress–strain behavior at high temperature conditions under quasi-static rates. © IMechE 2021
