R. Narayanasamy et R. Ponalagusamy, A mathematical theory of plasticity for compressible powder metallurgy materials - Part II, J MATER PR, 97(1-3), 2000, pp. 110-113
A new mathematical equation fur the calculation of the yield stress in the
case of a simple upsetting-compression test is proposed for powder metallur
gy-sintered preforms of material. A new yield function developed by Doraive
lu et al. which takes into account of the hydrostatic stress, is considered
for the development of the above equation. The ratio of the yield stress o
f the P/M porous material to the yield stress of cent percent dense materia
l is found to be increasing with increase in deformation strain. Further, a
theory for simple plastic instability and work hardening rate of porous P/
M material has been developed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights re
