Constitutive Model for Aluminum Alloys Exposed to Fire Conditions

From: Metallurgical and Materials Transactions | Date: April 1, 2008| Author: Maljaars, J; Soetens, F; Katgerman, L | Copyright information

An existing constitutive model for creep, developed by Dorn and Harmathy, is modified in order to be used for fire-exposed aluminum alloys. Two alloys, 5083-O/H111 and 6060-T66, are selected for the development of this constitutive model because of their different behavior at elevated temperature and their frequent application in structures for which fire design is relevant. The material parameters in the model are calibrated with the experimental results of creep tests, carried out with cons...
