A precise Johnson-Cook (J-C) constitutive model is the foundation for precise calculation of finite-element simulation. In order to obtain the J-C constitutive model accurately for a new cast and forged alloy GH4198, an inverse identification of J-C constitutive model was proposed based on a genetic-particle swarm algorithm. Firstly, a quasi-static tensile test at different strain rates was conducted to determine the initial yield strength , strain hardening coefficient , and work hardening exponent for the material's J-C model.

The difficulties in minimizing defects are an important factor in the high cost of composite material component fabrication. Fiber steering is one of the typical means of producing composite parts with increased strength or stiffness.
