Abstract
The flow stress reduction of metallic materials due to superimposed ultrasonic vibration is an intensively researched phenomenon. So far, however, only a few studies have analysed the vibrational influence on forming limits. Existing findings are inconsistent, suggesting both a formability extension and a decrease. Ultrasonic-assisted shear tests constitute a novel experimental approach for the fundamental investigation of predominant cause-effect-relationships. The test results reveal a distinct correlation between the application of ultrasonic vibration and earlier material failure. This effect is attributed to enhanced crack initiation and propagation caused by localised stress and strain concentration as well as intermittent high strain rates.
