文摘Based on two-dimensional (2D) rigid-plastic finite element (FE) method, the optimum observation area for metallographic microstructure and the influence of the height-diameter ratio on which were analyzed for the cylindrical samples with the diameter of 8 mm and different heights from 8 to 16 mm in nonuniform compressive experiments.
