The elastoplastic deformation behavior of a 440-MPa hot-rolled steel sheet subjected to many linear stress paths is precisely measured using biaxial tensile tests with cruciform specimens (ISO 16842: 2014) and multiaxial tube expansion tests to determine appropriate material models for finite element analysis (FEA). It is found that the Yld2000-2d yield function correctly reproduces the contours of plastic work and the directions of the plastic strain rates. Differential hardening (DH) models are determined by varying the values of the exponent and material parameters for the Yld2000-2d yield function as functions of the reference plastic strain. Moreover, a finite element analysis of hole expansion in the test material is performed. The DH model correctly predicts the minimum thickness position, which matches the fracture position of the specimen in the experiment.
The elastic-plastic deformation behavior of a 440 MPa hot-rolled steel sheet subjected to many linear stress paths is precisely measured using biaxial tensile tests with cruciform specimens (ISO 16842: 2014) and multiaxial tube expansion tests (Kuwabara and Sugawara, 2013) to determine appropriate material models for finite element analysis (FEA). It was found that the Yld2000-2d yield function (Barlat et al., 2003) correctly reproduces the contours of plastic work (CPW) and the directions of the plastic strain rates (DPSR). Differential hardening (DH) models are determined by changing the values of exponent and material parameters of the Yld2000-2d yield function as functions of reference plastic strain. Moreover, FEA of the hole expansion forming of the test material is performed. The DH model correctly predicts the minimum thickness position that matches the fracture position of the specimen in experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
