How to predict the mechanical propeties of drawn wires
Dear Mechanicians,
Do you know how to predict the mechanical properties of wire after being drawn with several dies ? especially with Duplex stailess steel material.

can any one suggest me a tensile testing machine for small specimens/films witha temperature ramp facility
I intend to do some tensile testing on some composite materials with very small thickness (about 0.5-1mm) and size 3 cm x 1 cm in a temperature ramp mode. I would like to know the name of such a testing machine or contact if any one has the same?

Defining Tensile/Compression Strength for Plastics in ABAQUS
Hi.
This is a simple question about defining material properties of a plastic I guess.
I have a value for tensile & compression strength and have to include this in my model, alongside the modulus & poisson ratio. I use *Elastic for modulus & poisson, but I don't know which card to use for tensile & compression.
Have already checked the manual, but the search 'tensile compression strength' leads me to the Hashin criteria page, which is not suitable for my material.
Can anyone help?

metal plasticity/viscoplasticity literature review
An intensive metal plasticity/viscoplasticity literature review is needed, with drawbacks and capabilities of different models. Any found previous work?
