Shear-Coupled Multiaxial Deformation Behavior of Rolled AZ31B Magnesium Alloy

The mechanical behavior of a rolled AZ31B magnesium alloy under uniaxial loading, combined axial torsion, and combined axial-transverse shear loading with different strain paths has been investigated, which intentionally generates uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial stress states, respectively. Under multiaxial loading, one stress component is not only determined by the corresponding strain component, but also significantly affected by other strain …
