This paper dealt with the outstanding problems which were forging cracks existing in the process of forging.The forming reasons of forging cracks were analyzed. From the perspective of damage mechanics, the conventional mesoscopic models and fracture criteria of ductile metal material damage were introduced. The problems in recent research of forging cracks were pointed out. Some corresponding suggestions for the future research of forging carcks were put forward based on the existing problems. The existed ductile fracture criteria have only predicted the damage of specific process yet ,while the diversities of metal forming processes require ductile fracture criterion to have wide scope of application,so,for reason given above,the emphasis is placed on the necessity of establishing new ductile fracture criteria and fracture parameter library with the method of combination of theory and experiment and numerical simulation.

Sheet metal stamping is an important manufacturing process because of its high production rate and low cost, so the fracture prediction of stamping parts has become important issues. Recent experimental studies have shown that the quality of stamping parts can be increased by using ductile fracture criteria. This paper proposed a modified ductile fracture criterion based on the macroscopic and microscopic continuum damage mechanics (CDM). Three-dimensional (3D) explicit finite element analysis (FEA) are performed to predict the fracture behaviors of sheet metal stamping process. An approach to determine the material constants of modified ductile fracture criterion is presented with the help of uniaxial tensile tests and compressive tests. The results show that the modified ductile fracture criterion enables precise cup depth and fracture location of sheet metal stamping under nonlinear paths. Compared with typical ductile fracture criteria, the results predicted with modified ductile fracture criterion correlate the best with the experimental data.

This paper deals with some general properties of a ductile fracture criterion, which generalizes two ductile fracture criteria conventionally adopted for metal forming analysis and design. The results are valid for a wide class of material models applicable to both cold and hot metal formings. It is expected that the theoretical features of the fracture criterion emphasized in the present paper can be useful for its experimental verification or for determining its parameters from the experiment.

Seven commonly used ductile fracture criteria are briefly reviewed and the validity of predicting the failure of AZ31 Mg alloy sheet by using these ductile fracture criteria is evaluated. Through fitting the experimental FLCs, the damage parameters for these ductile fracture criteria are determined firstly. Integrating these seven ductile fracture criteria into Abaqus/Explicit via VUMAT subroutine, the warm deep drawing process of AZ31 Mg alloy sheet is simulated. The limit drawing ratios (LDR) of AZ31 Mg alloy sheet at different temperature are predicted. The comparison of predictions with the experimental results has shown that the combination of the finite element simulation and the ductile fracture criterion is useful for predicting the fracture occurred in warm deepdrawing of AZ31 Mg alloy sheet.

This paper investigates the characteristics of a hydro-mechanical punching process. The hydro-mechanical punching process is divided into two stages: the first stage is the mechanical half piercing in which an upper punch goes down before the initial crack is occurred; the second stage is the hydro punching in which a lower punch goes up until the final fracture is occurred. Ductile fracture criteria such as the Cockcroft et al., Brozzo et al. and Oyane et al. are adopted to predict the fracture of a sheet material. The index value of ductile fracture criteria is calculated with a user material subroutine, VUMAT in the ABAQUS Explicit. The hydrostatic pressure retards the initiation of a crack in the upper region of the blank and induces another crack in the lower region of the blank during the punching process. The final fracture zone is placed at the middle surface of the blank to the thickness direction. The result demonstrates that the hydro-mechanical punching process makes a finer shearing surface than the conventional one as hydrostatic pressure increases.

Variety of metals are complex materials exhibiting various behavior under different loading. Many metallic materials exhibit Tresca-like behavior rather than von Mises. It means different behavior in tension under plane strain and uniaxial stress conditions. This might be described by Lode dependent plasticity which should result in better prediction in force or torque responses of material tests. Good agreement between computation and experiment is also very important when calibrating the ductile fracture criteria. Several tests under plane strain and uniaxial stress states were carried out on aluminum alloy 2024-T351 where the Lode dependency was significant. The Lode dependent plasticity was implemented along with von Mises and Tresca-like yield criteria, which resulted in improvement of force–displacement responses of plane strain tests simulations. But it also caused significant change in the stress state of tensile flat and grooved plates which wrongly approached uniaxial tension condition. This inconvenience prevents plane strain experiments from using for calibration of ductile fracture criteria under these circumstances.
