Calibration of Yld2000-2D Anisotropy Yield Criterion with Traditional Testing and Inverse Identification Strategies

Abstract

In order to improve predictive capabilities of numerical simulations, Yld2000-2D yield criterion is used to model the plastic anisotropic behaviors of AA5086 sheets. The parameters of Yld2000-2D yield criterion are identified based on the traditional testing strategy and the inverse identification strategy, respectively. The traditional testing strategy considers uniaxial and equi-biaxial tensile tests. The inverse identification strategy relies on the finite element model update (FEMU) method that couples with a biaxial tensile test using a dedicated cruciform specimen or the Pottier bulging test. The identified parameters are preliminarily evaluated by comparing predicted and experimental yield stresses, r-values, and yield loci. Then, the deep drawing test and simulations are performed. The identified parameter sets of Yld2000-2D yield criterion are further evaluated in terms of practical forming by comparing the predicted earing profile height with the experimental results. The results show that the inverse identification strategy can be an effective alternative to identify the parameters of Yld2000-2D yield criterion, and a well-designed heterogeneous test could lead to a better identification result.

Experimental Investigation of Strain Rate Influence on Anisotropy of Uniaxial Tensile Mechanical Properties of CuFe2P Alloy Sheet

“…Conventional methods applied in tensile tests, where strain is measured between two points on the specimen, e.g., extensometers, strain gauges, etc., will provide reliable results regarding the elastic modulus but not reliable results for yield point and local strain distribution [21,22]. The main issue that arises when strain is measured between two points is that the result determines a global strain value that may not accurately reflect the severity of the strain during metal-forming processes.…”
