Static and dynamic strain ageing phenomena induced by the interaction between dislocations and solute atoms, are ubiquitous in engineering metallic alloys. In Nickel-based superalloys used for turbine disks in jet engines, negative strain rate sensitivity is observed at service tempature and results in the devlopment of Portevin-Le Chatelier bands. A viscoplastic constitutive model will be presented which captures the serrations in tensile notch samples and biaxial tension specimens. Finite element simulations then show the impact of DSA on the burst of turbine disks [1]. Static strain ageing is associated to the formation of L¨uders bands in steel sheets. We illustrate the impact of their propagation on the viscoplastic behaviour of zinc coatings on galvanized steel sheets, by means of crystal plasticity applied to zinc grains [2].
