• Build a mechanism-based understanding of the effect of strain rate and stress
state on plastic deformation and failure of magnesium and its alloys.
• Focus on two magnesium alloys: Rolled and Equal Channel Angular Extruded
(ECAE) AZ31B.
• Characterization of rate dependent stress-strain response, deformation and
failure mechanisms activated using in-situ and post-mortem microscopy.
• High strain rate experiments (conventional and desktop kolsky bars, pressure-
shear plate impact).
• In-situ and post-mortem microscopy.
Continuum framework to capture twin growth dynamics
• Twin boundary (TB) modeled as a
discontinuity[1].
• Anisotropic elastic-plastic continuum.
• Dislocation densities allowed to evolve in
twin and matrix.
• Jump in elastic-plastic free energy functions
(ψ) drives the TB.

• Incorporate high strain rate dislocation-based plastic flow laws in existing
crystal plasticity codes (in collaboration with the Joshi group, U. Houston).

Key Accomplishments• Completed a full dataset for uniaxial compression across eight decades of strain
rate for two textured AZ31B alloys (rolled and ECAE).
• Performed pressure shear plate impact experiments on the rolled alloy.
• Publications this year: 2 (published), 1 (under review)
• All experimental data made available to the CMRG.
• Collaborations with the materials processing group at JHU and ARL for material
and initial characterization.
• Provided validation data to modeling groups (Lloyd, Becker, Kochmann).
• Established collaborations with the Joshi group at U. Houston (CP modeling).
• We would appreciate help from small scale MD and DDD groups to better inform
twin kinetics models in the continuum framework proposed for twin dynamics.
• First direct measurements of twin nucleation and growth rates in single crystal magnesium
under high strain rate loading.
• Identified dominant deformation and failure mechanisms contributing to rate dependent plastic
flow in two types of polycrystalline magnesium alloys.
• Modeling efforts driven towards improved predictive capabilities for macroscopic material
response at high loading rates and complex stress states.
