Evaluation of ductile failure models in Sheet Metal Forming

Abstract

Traditionally, combination of equivalent plastic strain and stress triaxiality parameters are taken into account when performing characterization of material ductility. Some well-established models like Lemaitre model, GTN based models and many others perform relatively well at high-triaxiality stress states but fail to give adequate answers to low-triaxiality states. In this work, three damage models are presented, applied and assessed to a cross-shaped component. Concerning material, AA5182-O, corresponding damage parameters are characterized by an inverse analysis procedure for each damage model.
