Modeling high temperature deformation characteristics of AA7020 aluminum alloy using substructure-based constitutive equations and mesh-free approximation method

This research was aimed to assess the potential of a radial basis function (RBF) approximation method against the dislocation substructure-based constitutive model in predicting high-temperature deformation behavior of the AA7020 aluminum alloy. Hot compression tests were performed over a range of strain rate of 0.1–100 s⁻¹ and a...
