Failure Modeling

Aluminium sheet metal is nowadays used to fabricate lighter, crashworthy, fuel efficient and environment friendly vehicles. Ductile damage of sheet metals affects significantly the crashworthiness, as it naturally exhibits anisotropic behavior due to the grain orientation. Johnson-Cook (J-C) damage model is widely used in numerical simulation for assessing the failure modeling of crash component in particular at high strain rate. The Johnson-Cook material model available in literature is meant for isotropic material behavior which cannot be used directly for anisotropic behavior of materials. To characterize the plastic anisotropy of the rolled sheet, the modified Johnson-Cook material model should be developed. In this research the combination of experimental work and numerical analysis with clear and simpler calibration strategy for damage model is demonstrated. It aims to reduce laboratory tests using advanced numerical analysis to predict failure in order to save overall cost and development time.

Hemispherical Punch

Prediction of sheet metal forming limits or analysis of forming failures is a very sensitive problem for design engineers of sheet forming industries. In this paper, first, damage behaviour of St14 steel (DIN 1623) is studied in order to be used in complex forming conditions with the goal of reducing the number of costly trials. Mechanical properties and Lemaitre's ductile damage parameters of the material are determined by using standard tensile and Vickers micro-hardness tests. A fully coupled elastic-plastic-damage model is developed and implemented into an explicit code. Using this model, damage propagation and crack initiation, and ductile fracture behaviour of hemispherical punch bulging process are predicted. The model can quickly predict both deformation and damage behaviour of the part because of using plane stress algorithm, which is valid for thin sheet metals. Experiments are also carried out to validate the results. Comparison of the numerical and experimental results shows good adaptation. Hence, it is concluded that finite element analysis in conjunction with continuum damage mechanics can be used as a reliable tool to predict ductile damage and forming limit in sheet metal forming processes.

Springback Prediction

Springback prediction of sheet metal forming is always an important issue in the industry, because it greatly affects the final shape of the product. The accuracy of simulation prediction depends on not only the forming condition but also the chosen material model, which determines the stress and strain redistributions in the formed parts. In this paper, a newly proposed elastoplastic constitutive model is used, in which the initial and induced anisotropies, combined nonlinear isotropic and kinematic hardenings, as well as isotropic ductile damage, are taken into account. The aluminum alloy sheet metal AA7055 was chosen as the studied material. In order to investigate springback under non-proportional strain paths, three-point bending tests were conducted with pre-strained specimens, and five different pre-straining states were considered. The comparisons between numerical and experimental results highlighted the hard effect of both kinematic hardening and ductile damage on the springback prediction, especially for a changed loading path case.

ABSTRACTVariation of internal stress states in cold rolled sheet metal can essentially influence the result of forming processes. Therefore it is important to control the forming process by a practicable in line testing method. For this purpose magnetic and ultrasonic nondestructive methods are available. However, it is necessary to calibrate these techniques. This paper describes a first step of such a calibration procedure making use of the neutron diffraction method. On the basis of the diffraction results an assessment of the magnetic and ultrasonic methods for the estimation of residual stress in the cold rolled iron-disks was made. Reasonable measuring concepts for practical applications to forming processes with cold rolled sheet metal are discussed.

Consistent Approximation

The classical Fo¨ppl equations, governing the deflection of plane membranes, constitute the first-order consistent approximation in the case of linear elastic material behavior. It is shown that despite the static and kinematic nonlinearities present, for arbitrary load histories a correspondence principle for viscoelastic material behavior exists if all relevant relaxation moduli are of uniform time dependence. Application of the principle is illustrated by means of a popular material model.

Abstract A study is conducted to examine and predict the micromechanical failure modes in a unidirectional composite when subjected to tensile loading parallel to the fibers. Experimental observations are made at some selected stress levels to identify the initiation and growth of micro damage during loading. The axisymmetric damage model of a concentric cylinder is then utilized to postulate and analyze some failure scenarios.

Biaxial Tensile Stress

Numerical process design leads to cost and time savings in sheet metal forming processes. Therefore, a modeling of the material behavior is required to map the flow properties of sheet metal. For the identification of current yield criteria, the yield strength and the hardening behavior as well as the Lankford coefficients are taken into account. By considering the anisotropy as a function of rolling direction and stress state, the prediction quality of anisotropic materials is improved by a more accurate modeling of the yield locus curve. According to the current state of the art, the layer compression test is used to determine the corresponding Lankford coefficient for the biaxial tensile stress state. However, the test setup and the test procedure is quite challenging compared to other tests for the material characterization. Due to this, the test is only of limited suitability if only the Lankford coefficient has to be determined. In this contribution, a simplified test is presented. It is a reduction of the layer compression test to one single sheet layer. So the Lankford coefficient for the biaxial tensile stress state can be analyzed with a significantly lower test effort. The results prove the applicability of the proposed test for an easy and time efficient characterization of the biaxial Lankford coefficient.
