1. TMF stress-strain behavior is identical for both IP and
OP loading conditions. TMF-IP lives are shorter than
TMF-OP (based on the mechanical or inelastic strain
range) lives.
2. Creep damage dominates for TMF-IP loading and in
the high strain range regime.
3. The secondary alloy (EAP319) is softer than the
primary alloy (WAP319), but TMF lives are very
similar.

Summary
Summary
The hardening law including the effects of
precipitates on the deformation behavior of binary
Al - Cu alloys is physically based and accounts for
precipitate size, orientation, and mean free path.
The model incorporates hardening law and
predicts single crystal behavior of pure Al and Al-
Cu alloys, it also predicts polycrystalline
experiments from knowledge of single crystal
behavior.
