Constitutive behavior identification of a structural material

Master 2 MAGIS practical training, Centre des materiaux, Mines ParisTech, 2014

The objectives of this seesions are:

  1. Highlight material constitutive behavior importance for the industry in general;
  2. Learn how to conduct a mechanical tension test, understand measurement and error (in particular regarding strain measures);
  3. Highlight the interest of varying test parameters (loading speed, temperature);
  4. Review mechanics of materials fundamentals (Young’s modulus, elastic limit, work hardening and plasticity…);
  5. Understand what is a material constitutive behavior and how to identify it from experimental testing.
