Abstract

A hydraulic experimental setup and related instrumentation were developed for testing constitutive models of ideal plastic behavior at large deformations using slow, radial compression of short, hollow cylinders at constant height. At this preliminary stage of development, plasticine rings with initial inner diameters of 25.4 mm were reduced to a final diameter of 9 mm or less. Further development is needed to test first lead and then harder metals.
