Abstract
The paper shows the development of constitutive equations describing the flow stress of silicon bronzes. The fn'st model can be used only for description of characteristic values of flow stress, the further models make possible to follow the course of stress-strain curves. The second model bases on structural processes, the third one bases on the internal state of materials and the last one on the internal state of materials and structural processes.
Keywords: constitutive equation, silicon bronze, strain rate, temperature, strain rate history.
1. Introduction
During the last years a finite element analysis has been intensively developed for simulating 3-1) deformation of a materials whose elastic strain is negligibly small compared to the plastic strain. Such conditions exist in a large number of the press-forming operations. The procedures for the analysing of such problems are elaborated by Kobayashi et all [1,2], Wang [3], Ouate and Zienkiewicz [4], and Saran and Wagoner [5]. The analysis of the metal working operations needs accurate knowledge of the forming limit curves [6-8] and of the constitutive equations describing the flow behaviour of materials under different operating conditions. CAD of forming operations is no longer limited by the memory capacity of computers or data processing capabilities but by the imperfections of the available constitutive models that describe the behaviour of materials under different deformation conditions. The investigations for creation of better models have been conducted in the last years in the different scientific centres [9-13]. The works are more connected with steels than with other non ferrous materials. The constitutive equations worked out for steels can not be directly used for CAD of forming processes of copper and its alloys [14]. Only in the last year a few constitutive equations describing the flow stress of coppersilicon alloys were developed. The constitutive equations can be divided into fourth main types. First type can be used only for determination of characteristic levels of flow stress of copper and silicon bronzes, e.g. maximum flow stress (¢rpm) and flow stress of steady-state flow (crp,) [15]. The model can not be
the third, pure mathematical model, new parameters it means internal state of materials and internal state evolution rate were introduced [16]. The model with good accuracy describes the flow stress as a function of deformation parameters only in lower range of temperature. The last model contains internal state parameters as well as structural processes parameters. The model can be used for description of flow stress in wide range of temperature and strain rate with good accuracy [17]. The main aim of the work is to give short presentation of the above mentioned models.

Calculation of flow stress according to equation (1) needs the values of constants B, a; u and activation energy Q. The method of calculation of these parameters are given el~where [15].

4. Model taking into account internal state of material
The change of flow stress during deformation is given by the following relation
o'1, = M(T)P(T, dr)o"w (6, k w, T)
(20)

The boundary conditions, that for 8 = O, ~rp = 0 and ~rpB = O, and equality of t¢ and a, lead to integration constant Ct = O. Finally in the range of deformation 6 -< % flow stress is given
by
elastic properties of a materials with temperature, -a function describing the effect of sudden changes of strain rate on the flow stress, k w - evolution rate of internal state of material. introduction of function M(T) into equation (20) arises from the fact, that material's response on the stress is more affected by elastic strain caused by the stress, than by absolute value of stress. Function P(T, ir) allows to obtain correct material's response produced by a sudden change of strain rate. The last function together with the change of internal state of materials can be used for calculation of strain history effect. Each material is described by base internal state-strain curve, from which using elaborated model the ~rw - 6 curves at different temperatures and strain rates can be computed.

For description of t r ~ ( e , k ~ , T ) courses the model was created, which has two forms dependent on the strain range. First form concerns strain range e < ecr, where flow stress increases monotoniealy with strains, and the second one includes the strain range e > ecr, where flow stress decreases and passes into steady state flow.

4. 5. Strain rate history Strain rate sensitivity materials like copper-silicon alloys and copper are characterised by such behaviour, that the sudden change of strain rate causes increase of the flow stress to the level lower than the flow stress obtained during continuous deformation of material from the beginning with higher final strain rate. To render properly that phenomena it was assumed that the material's response produced by a change of the viscous properties described by function P(T,k)occurs simultaneously with the change of the strain rate, whereas the change of the material's internal state is somewhat delayed relative to the change of this rate and is detel"mined by material internal state evolution rate. To describe the material internal state evolution rate caused by a change in the strain rate, the following differential equation was used
Function M ( T ) is determined by ratio of Young modules Er at particular temperature T to the Young modules E re at ambient temperature To (To--293K) at the same, constant strain rate. M = Er
(34)

(38)
where: L - a temperature dependent coefficient. The internal state evolution rate is proportional to temperature, which is expressed by coefficient L in the form L = lexp(-QIRT)
The Young modules were investigated within the temperature range of 293-1073K and strain rate of 0.01-10S -I. The effect of strain rate on the function M ( T ) is very small and without making bigger errors can be neglected. Then function M(T) can be written in the following form
1 k 2 -~

where: 1 - a material constant, Q - activation energy.

6. Conclusion
The above described models have been applied to calculation of silicon bronzes flow stress as a function of strain in the temperature ranging from 293 to 1073K and at strain rate of 0.01 - 6.7 s -1 . It has been found, that the first model used to calculation of the values and positions of maximum and steady state flow stresses determines these parameters with good accuracy. The second model based on structural processes can be applied with good accuracy to follow the course of flow stress strain curves in the whole range of deformation conditions without taking into account the strain rate history. The third model based on the internal slate of materials and the internal state evolution rate can be used to calculation of the course of flow stress with strain and the effect of strain rate history, but the properly results have been obtained only in the lower range of temperature (293 - 500 K). The last model taking into account the structural processes and the internal state of materials does not has shortcoming which exist in the third model and can be used to calculation of flow stress - strain curves as well as to design the metal forming processes. The further development of constitutive equations decribing the flow stress of copper-silicon alloys and other copper alloys should created the possibility of calculation of the effect of deformation interruption on the flow stress.
