The combined effect of plastic orthotropy and tension-compression asymmetry on the development of necking instabilities in flat tensile specimens subjected to dynamic loading

•High-purity α-titanium flat tensile specimens subjected to dynamic loading.•Effect of plastic orthotropy and tension-compression asymmmetry on necking instabilities.•Specimen orientation plays a key role in the location and characteristics of the necks.•For three specimen orientations the necks con...
