Microstructure-based Constitutive Models for Residual Mechanical Behavior of Aluminum Alloys after Fire Exposure

Aluminum alloys are increasingly being used in a broad spectrum of applications such as lightweight structures, light rail, bridge decks, marine crafts, and off-shore platforms. The post-fire (residual) integrity of aluminum structures is of particular concern as a severe degradation in mechanical...
