Abstract

Stress – strain values obtained from tensile tests of aluminium and steel is used to evaluate the true stress – true strain values. The Hollomon’s model is then used to predict the strain-hardening behavior in the two specimens. It is clearly seen that the strain-hardening behavior in metals can be described using the Hollomon’s model. However, we have assumed that the onset of strain-hardening is at the yield point up until the ultimate tensile strength. The correlation between the experimental true stress – true strain values of aluminium and the calculated values using the Hollomon equation is much better than that of steel.
