From Blank to Fractured Component: Numerical and Experimental Results of a Laboratory Scale Component

Modelling and simulation are important tools during design and development processes. For accurate predictions of, e.g. manufacturing processes or final product performance, reliable material data is needed. Usually, the applied material models are calibrated by utilising direct methods such as conventional uniaxial tensile/compression tests but also inverse methods are occasionally applied. Recently, an effective inverse method, the stepwise modelling method (SMM), was presented. By using SMM, the flow stress from initial yielding, beyond necking to final fracture, can be determined. However, the method is developed for sheet materials having isotropic von Mises hardening. In this paper the SMM is extended for post necking characterisation of anisotropic sheet metals using the Barlat yield 2000 criterion. The novel method was applied to analyse the post necking plasticity of the widely used aluminium alloy AA6016 in T4 condition and the aluminium alloy AA5754 in H111 condition. The latter alloy has reported to show serrated yielding, also known as the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect. The obtained flow stress curves agree well with the curves form conventional uniaxial tensile tests up to the point of necking and show credible post necking predictions to final fracture. Furthermore, SMM showed that it could handle the effect of serrated yielding for AA5754-H111. Hence, the novel approach can be used to characterise the post necking
