Abstract
A constitutive model for gilding copper is presented. The
model is an extension of a successful pathdependent model developed by
Goldthorpe for the deformation of fcc materials. Gilding copper is a
face-centred cubic metal and its deformation behaviour is, therefore, fully
dependent upon the load path taken. This pathdependent model is the first
constitutive model that treats path-dependency in a physically realistic manner
and gives a complete description of loading and unloading paths; it can be
implemented into hydrocodes with no significant cost. The necessity for
extending the model using gilding copper as an exemplar material is to include
the effects of alloying and of prior processing into the model. It introduces a
generic principle in which the underlying dislocation dynamics are governed by
the copper. All aspects of the model are presented and explained and determination of the constants for the model from experimental data is shown.
Validation of the model by comparison with mechanical tests performed under
changing conditions is presented together with predictions for the same tests
using the Armstrong-Zerilli model.
