How accurate should be the material data? (Depends on your application)

if it must be exact, then you have to test. Materials, even the same alloys (6063) with the same heat treatment (T5), are different and it might be difficult/impossible to find the exact one in the literature. You should also consider that even repeated tests would result in different values for the E-module, etc.

If your application allows, I suggest to interpolate the values of AL6063T5 from the paper. From the E and elasticity limit, you can calculate the elasticity stress value of your material. Then you can use this point to shift the other points with a linear interpolation. I assume that the materials from the same alloy and same tempering have similar curves. Thus, this interpolation, would be ok.

Dear Mahsa,

I think you need these

Material   E (GPa)   σyield (MPa)    v N (Hardening exponent)  K (strength coefficient)

Al 6063-T5   64         142 0.3             0.123                                           301.4

These are taken from

If you can download this. Send me your email and send you a private copy. 

Better do the tensile test and input the datas. That will be more appropriate than the literature datas.

 Hi,

you could use the diagrams of the following paper to set the strain-stress values:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/200073106_Finite_Element_Modeling_of_Solid_Tubular_Expansion_In_Well_Engineering

for fracture you might define a max. strain or yield stress.

I need to know the mechanical properties of Biaxial E glass fiber for doing the tensile test by using the Abaqus software. Can anyone help me?Thanka a lot.

Dear Mahsa,

Take a look on the following link may be useful;

Regards

Thank you all, but I was see all you send me before because I searched a lot about it. I exactly need Al6063T5 properties with E=57.1GPa, strain-stress data and fracture properties (fracture strain and stress triaxiality) for simulating in ABAQUS.

Thanks

You are right. In fact, I was hoping I could find the properties from the litertaure but now I'm doing interpolation as you told me.

Thanks alot Mr. Sadeghipour.

Dear Mahsa Jahani,

I note and I hope that the discussion so far provides you the data you needed. I would like to make some supplementary remarks that may be hopefully useful to you.

The fundamental properties of materials are directly related to the physical structure of matter and materials. For these properties, the accuracy of data depends mainly on the available measuring apparatus. The elastic constants are examples of this class of properties. However, the values of the majority of materials properties also depend on preparation and measuring procedures. Hence, standardization of preparation and procedures is essential to maximize the validity of the comparisons made on the basis of the values for material properties. The methodological ideal that a measurement does not affect its outcome is unattainable. Furthermore, stochastic variations inevitably occur during specimen preparation. Despite the ongoing standardization of testing conditions, each value of a material property is a stochastic or a statistical number. The yield strength of a material does not exist. The decisive question for a designer or an engineer is not the value of this or that material property, but the probability of failure occurring in a specific product made out of a specific material. 

Thank you so much.

Dear Mahsa,

For accurate result, it is suggested to test the raw material for the properties you need. Sometimes the literature data may differ more than expected. I also encountered the same situation in case of Nylon-6. The % elongation mentioned in the book/manufacturer data is 90-100, in literature it is 75-85 and the actual test result is 37-40.

You are right Dr. Ethiraj. Thank you so much.
