Gf. Dirras et al., Macroscopic behaviour versus dislocation substructures development under cyclic shear tests on the aluminium-3004 alloy, MAT SCI E A, 263(1), 1999, pp. 85-95
Cyclic shear tests of various amplitudes have been carried out on aluminium
-3004 alloys. The macroscopic behaviour shows the occurrence of either cycl
ic softening or cyclic hardening, depending on the initial state of the all
oy (recrystallised, recovered or extra-hardened). This macroscopic behaviou
r is discussed with the help of both isotropic and kinematic concepts and i
n connection with the texture, the development of dislocation substructures
and its evolution upon straining. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All right
