On the calibration strategies of the Johnson-Cook strength model: Discussion and applications to experimental data

A last section introduces some considerations about the calibration of the Johnson-Cook strength model through experimental data different from those consisting in a set of hardening functions relative to different equivalent plastic strain rates and temperatures. In particular, the opportunity of using experimental data coming from Taylor impact tests is assessed, together with an evaluation of the possibility of using other less popular and somehow innovative ways for obtaining the Johnson-Cook strength model parameters.
