Strain rate dependant data for steel

[charb]

Hi all,

I have been looking for a while now for strain rate dependant stress/strain data for use in a DYNA simulation involving impact of a steel containment ring, but it seems to be very hard to find. Does anyone have any ideas where I might be able to find this kind of data?

Thanks,

Charlotte

The best way to obtain this type of data is to contact the steel companies that produce the relevant grades, or to review published technical papers such as SAE Technical Papers. The following link is for a keyword search of SAE Technical Papers using "strain rate steel":

Thank you very much, TVP! I will have a look at those.
