Numerical simulation provides a valuable assistance in the controlling of forming processes. The elasto-plastic orthotropic constitutive law is based on the choice of an equivalent stress, a hardening law and a plastic potential. An identification of the model parameters from an experimental database is developed. This database consists in hardening curves and Lankford coefficients of specimens subjected to off-axis tensile tests. The proposed identification strategy is applied to aluminum sheets. The behavior of this material is studied under several solicitations. The anisotropic behavior of the aluminum plate is modeled using the Barlat criterionand the hardening law. The obtained Lankford coefficients are compared to those which are identified by a different strategy.
The main purpose of this paper is to study the behavior of the 2000 aluminum alloy series used particularly in the design of Airbus fuselage. The characterization of the mechanical behavior of sheet metal on 2024 aluminum alloy and its response to various loading directions under monotonic and cyclic tests are extremely considered. To solve this problem, first, an experimental platform which essentially revolves around mechanical tests and then a series of optical and transmission electronic visualizations have been carried out. These mechanical tests are monotonic and cyclic shear tests applied under the same conditions on the test specimens of 2024 aluminum alloy. Cyclic shear tests have been carried out in order to show the Bauschinger effect and then the kinematic hardening phenomenon. The hardening curves of the simple shear test showed the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect for all loading directions. Next, the experimental results obtained (Portevin-Le Chatelier and Bauschinger effects) are discussed and analyzed in relation to the microstructure of the studied alloy using an optical microscope and a transmission electron microscope. Thereafter, the plastic anisotropy is modeled using an identification strategy that depends on a plastic criterion, an isotropic hardening law, a kinematic hardening (linear and nonlinear) law, and an evolution law. More precisely, particular attention is paid to the isotropic power Hollomon law, the saturation Voce law, and the saturation Bron law. In the case of the cyclic tests, linear kinematic hardening described by the Prager law and nonlinear kinematic hardening expressed by the Armstrong–Frederick law are introduced. Finally, by smoothing the experimental hardening curves for the various simple and cyclic shear tests, a selection is made in order to choose the most appropriate law for the identification of the material behavior.
