Development of Effective Taylor-Quinney Coefficient Table of *MAT_224 for Aluminum 2024-T351

In this research work, the effective Taylor-Quinney Coefficient (TQC) table of *MAT_224 for Aluminum 2024-T351 alloy was developed to replace the current constant TQC. The methodology to create the effective TQC table was developed by using a two-step approach. In Step 1, the thermal-structural analyses of tensile tests were conducted to verify the referenced TQC values and generate the additional temperature-strain curves at additional rates which were not covered by the physical tensile tests. In Step 2, the structural-only analyses of tensile tests were conducted to calibrate the effective TQC values at all the rates for the effective TQC table and validate the calibrated effective TQC table.
