Abstract
A method of measuring biaxial stress-strain curved for sheet metal samples subjected to large plastic strains is described for one example aluminum alloy (AA 5754-O). The method uses a prtable X-ray diffraction (XRD) system to measure in situ stresses during tensile deformations. Calibration of X-ray elastic constants and the effects of texture and itergranularstresses are discussed. Comparison of uniaxial data measured using XRD and standard methods show good agreement, and biaxial stress-strain results show good repeatability. Accurate measurement of stresses by X-ray diffraction requires accurate X-ray elastic contants. Calbiration experiments are one method to determine these for a specific material in a specific condition. Typically elastic uniaxial tension or bending tests are used to determine the required effective X-ray elastic constants.
