Abstract
Uniaxial tensile tests have been performed on smooth and notched specimens with three different diameters and in a large range of strain rate and at different temperatures. A modified Hopkinson bar is used for the high strain rates tests for the small diameter specimens (3 mm) and the Large Dynamic Testing facility of the Joint Research Centre of Ispra was used for the specimens with large diameters (9 and 30 mm). Full stressstrain diagrams have been obtained for each test, and additional parameters have been calculated based on them. The data base obtained will be used to develop suitable analytical and numerical models.
