Bauschinger Effect In Microalloyed Steels: Part I. Dependence On Dislocation-Particle Interaction, Andrii Kostryzhev, Martin Strangwood, Claire L. Davis

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

The Bauschinger effect (yield stress decreasing at the start of reverse deformation after forward prestrain) is an important factor in strength development for cold metal forming technology. In steels, the magnitude of the Bauschinger effect depends on composition, through the presence of microalloy precipitates, and prior processing, through the size and distribution of microalloy precipitates and presence of retained work hardening. In this article, the microstructures of two (Nb- and Nb-V-microalloyed) steel plates, in terms of (Ti,Nb,V,Cu)-rich particle distributions and dislocation densities, have been quantitatively related to the Bauschinger parameters for the same processing conditions. For the 12- to 50-nm …


A Critique Of The Marker Variable Technique: The Effect Of Alternative Marker Variable Criteria, Rajeev Sharma, Philip Yetton, Jeff Crawford Jan 2010

A Critique Of The Marker Variable Technique: The Effect Of Alternative Marker Variable Criteria, Rajeev Sharma, Philip Yetton, Jeff Crawford

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

The marker variable technique offers a practical and easy method to address the validity threat on account of common method variance to the findings of individual studies. Hawever, the validity of the marker variable technique has not been established. This paper examines the validity threat to the marker variable technique arising from multiple criteria for the selection of the marker variable proposed in the literature. Our findings shaw that the conclusions that can be drawn under different criteria are significantly and substantially different, raising doubts about the validity of the marker variable technique. Proposals for developing theoretically grounded criteria for …
