Abstract

Influence of low-cycle reverse bending and the crystallographic texture on damage anisotropy of commercial titanium sheets during the subsequent uniaxial tensile tests was studied. The fourth-rank order damage tensor D was used at the analysis of damage anisotropy of titanium sheets. Only the sole component D=1E/E0 of this tensor is not equal to zero for uniaxial tension (E0 and E is the elastic modulus of intact material and current modulus determined from the uniaxial tensile tests, respectively). Damage caused by stresses of proof strength and ultimate strength is estimated. The damage increases with increasing of number of reverse bending cycles. The correlations of damage and mechanical properties anisotropy with the crystallographic texture are found.
