Simulation of high strain rate properties of magnesium alloy AZ91D

Low density and excellent machinability of Mg alloys make them good candidates for light-weight constructions of components in the engineering industry. Furthermore, they also exhibit much better complex mechanical behavior than more common materials. In this paper, we will focus on the study of...
