The constitutive behaviour of aluminium alloys at high temperatures

The paper presents a review of research on aluminium alloys as structural elements, highlighiting their positive characteristics and potentital applications, as well as certain weaknesses – especially during fire. Papers examining the mechanical properties and time-dependent deformations under different temperature testing conditions are particularly discussed. This paper also provides an overview of potential rheological models that could be suitable for advanced research on the behaviour of aluminium at elevated temperatures.
