Plastic behaviour and forming limit during biaxial compressions of magnesium alloy AZ31 at room temperature

The plastic behaviour and compressive fracture of AZ31 magnesium alloy were examined at room temperature. The uniaxial compression tests and biaxial compression tests along linear and nonlinear strain paths were carried out until fracture using a unique biaxial compression testing machine develop...
