Abstract:
To better describe its constitutive relation, we need a new constitutive equation for an important nonlinear elastic material, Mn-Cu damping alloy. In this work, we studied the nonlinear and hysteretic characteristics of the stress-strain curve of the M2052 alloy with the uniaxial cyclic tensile test with constant strain rate. The strain rate and amplitude correlations of M2052 resembled those of nonlinear viscoelastic material. Therefore, we created a new constitutive equation for the M2052 damping alloy by modifying the fractional Maxwell model, and we used the genetic algorithm to carry out numerical fitting with MATLAB. By comparing with the experimental data, we confirmed that the new constitutive equation could accurately depict the nonlinear constitutive relation and hysteretic property of the damping alloy. Taken together, this new constitutive equation for Mn-Cu damping alloy based on the fractional Maxwell model can serve as an effective tool for further studies of the constitutive relation of the Mn-Cu damping alloys.
