Supercritical Deformation and Fracture of Bodies with Concentrators under Plane Stress State Conditions

Abstract

The paper deals with experimental studies of inhomogeneous strain fields with regions of supercritical behavior of the material in the case of extension of plane specimens of steel 20 with concentrators of different geometry by using the method of digital image correlation. The use of a video system permits obtaining experimental data about the distribution of the fields of longitudinal, transverse, and shear components and the strain intensity. The previously considered criteria for the deformation process transition to the supercritical stage for different types of the stress–strain state were used to distinguish the regions of supercritical behavior and to analyze the evolution of the strain and temperature fields in their stable development.
