Evaluation of rusinek-klapaczko model for high strain rate response of steel sheets

Automotive steel sheet structures are likely to experience high strain-rate loading during impact and crash conditions. A quasi-static stress-strain at low strain rate data alone may not give an accurate numerical prediction of sheet metal structure behaviour at high strain rates. In this study, the...
