Experiments at ten strain rates ranging from 0.001/s to 4/s are carried out on uniaxial tension specimens extracted from DP800 metal sheets. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is used to obtain surface strain fields and a high speed infrared (IR) camera is employed to measure the corresponding temperature rise due to plastic dissipation. A temperature rise of 60K is witnessed for the highest loading speed whereas minimal temperature rise (<1K) is seen for the lowest loading speed. To minimize the computational cost by treating the temperature as an internal state variable, (effectively avoiding more complex coupled thermo-mechanical analyses), a logarithm based function is proposed that models the transition from isothermal to adiabatic conditions. The proposed function exhibits a higher accuracy compared to literature formulations.
