Fk. Tomilov et al., THE BAUSCHLNGER EFFECT ESTIMATED BY TESTING STANDARD PLANE SPECIMENS UNDER TENSION-COMPRESSION CYCLE LOADING, Industrial laboratory, 61(11), 1995, pp. 689-691
A method for evaluating the Bauschinger effect by the results of testi
ng for stretching and successive compression of standard plane specime
ns is considered. We developed a special unit providing for plastic co
mpression of large timbers without any losses in the firmness of the e
quilibrium form. This effect is exemplified in the study of 1420 aniso
tropic aluminum-lithium alloy.
