Abstract

Aluminum alloy AA2219-T852 tubular specimens were subjected to biaxial testing. The specimens were tested under tensile as well as internal pressure simultaneously to create biaxial loading conditions with stress ratios (λ) of 0.33, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3. Uniaxial and biaxial tensile test results showed that biaxial yield stress (YS) increased from 4 to 15% depending upon the value of λ. Increase in YS was observed at lower λ, whereas lowest increase was observed in equi-biaxial tests compared with uniaxial YS. Theoretical yield criteria of von-Mises and Tresca were compared with experimental data and it was found that the von-Mises yield criterion was closely matching with experimental data, with less than 5% error. Based on the results obtained from the present study, components subjected to biaxial stress condition can be optimally designed.
