Character of strengthening of an initially orthotropic material when subjected to simple and complex loadings. Communication 3: Experimental study of mechanical anisotropy

The results of an investigation into plastic deformation of titanium alloy with initially anisotropic elastic mechanical characteristics are presented. The limit of applicability of classical plasticity theories for complex loadings is determined. A rating dependence is plotted in generalized coordinates: principal tangential stress and principal shear strain.
