Stress Relaxation Tests: Modeling Issues and Applications in Magnesium Alloys and Composites

Abstract

The stress relaxation (SR) test during plastic deformation is a useful technique for studying deformation processes. SR tests were performed during plastic deformation of pure magnesium, magnesium alloys and magnesium alloys-based composites over a wide temperature interval from room temperature up to 300 C.
