Superplasticity is the ability of polycrystalline materials under
certain conditions to exhibit extreme tensile elongation in a
nearly homogeneous/isotropic manner. Historically, this phenomenon
was discovered and systematically studied by metallurgists and
physicists. They, along with practising engineers, used materials
in the superplastic state for materials forming applications.
Metallurgists concluded that they had the necessary information on
superplasticity and so theoretical studies focussed mostly on
understanding the physical and metallurgi cal properties of
superplastic materials. Practical applications, in contrast, were
led by empirical approaches, rules of thumb and creative design. It
has become clear that mathematical models of superplastic
deformation as well as analyses for metal working processes that
exploit the superplastic state are not adequate. A systematic
approach based on the methods of mechanics of solids is likely to
prove useful in improving the situation. The present book aims at
the following. 1. Outline briefly the techniques of mechanics of
solids, particularly as it applies to strain rate sensitive
materials. 2. Assess the present level of investigations on the
mechanical behaviour of superplastics. 3. Formulate the main issues
and challenges in mechanics ofsuperplasticity. 4. Analyse the
mathematical models/constitutive equations for superplastic flow
from the viewpoint of mechanics. 5. Review the models of
superplastic metal working processes. 6. Indicate with examples new
results that may be obtained using the methods of mechanics of
solids."
