Abstract

The authors present new experimental data for shear punch tests and tensile tests using four different materials. The correlation between shear punch and tensile yield stresses must be established empirically, and the procedure for doing this is discussed. The elastic-plastic deformation in a shear punch test develops gradually with increasing punch displacement and is often assumed to be simple shear. This is examined using finite element analysis to simulate the development of plasticity during the early stages of punch displacement. The simulation results are used to rationalize the empirically established yield stress correlations.
