ABSTRACT

The properties of the Metallic materials are influenced by the notch, temperature and strain-rate. The purposes of this paper are to understand the influence of notch, temperature and strain-rate on the strength of metallic materials and to propose an equation that can evaluate the notch strengths by only knowing the geometrical shapes of the notch and the material properties of the subject materials. In this study six types of metallic materials are selected and the tensile tests were carried out.
