A reliability study of springback on the sheet metal forming process under probabilistic variation of prestrain and blank holder force

This work deals with a reliability assessment of springback problem during the sheet metal forming process. The effects of operative parameters and material properties, blank holder force and plastic prestrain, on springback are investigated. A generic reliability approach was developed to control springback. Subsequently, the Monte Carlo simulation technique in conjunction with the Latin hypercube sampling method was adopted to study the probabilistic springback. Finite element method based on implicit/explicit algorithms was used to model the springback problem. The proposed constitutive law for sheet metal takes into account the adaptation of plastic parameters of the hardening law for each prestrain level considered. Rackwitz-Fiessler algorithm is used to find reliability properties from response surfaces of chosen springback geometrical parameters. The obtained results were analyzed using a multi-state limit reliability functions based on geometry compensations.     

Effect of creep prestrain on subsequent plastic deformation

The effect of creep prestrain on subsequent plastic deformation is experimentally investigated. The experiments are performed by subjecting thin-walled tubular specimens of stainless steel SUS 304 after creep prestraining to combined axial load and torsion at room temperature to 600°C. The stress-strain relations subsequent to creep prestrain are determined under combined stress state with and without temperature changes in prestraining and subsequent plastic straining. On the experimental results, the plastic hardening effects by creep prestrain are discussed under various temperature conditions. The subsequent stress-strain relations are compared with the calculated results on the equi-plastic strain surfaces.     

Anisotropic plasticity for sheet metals using the concept of combined isotropic-kinematic hardening

Hill's 1948 anisotropic theory of plasticity (Hill, R., 1948. A theory of yielding and plastic flow of anisotropic metals. Proc. Roy. Soc. London A193, 281–297) is extended to include the concept of combined isotropic-kinematic hardening, and the objective of this paper is to validate the model so that it may be useful for analyses of sheet metal forming. Isotropic hardening and kinematic hardening may be experimentally observed in sheet metals, if yielding is defined by the proportional limit or by a small proof strain. In this paper, a single exponential term is used to describe isotropic hardening and Prager's linear kinematic hardening rule is applied for simplicity. It is shown that this model can satisfactorily describe both the yield stress and the plastic strain ratio, the R-ratio, observed in tension test of specimens cut at various angles measured from the rolling direction of the sheet. Kinematic hardening leads to a gradual change in the direction of the plastic strain increment, as the axial strain increases in the tension test; while in the traditional approach for sheet metal, this direction does not change due to the use of isotropic hardening.     

Research note on a reexamination of neutral loading experiments

In the examination of the published results from neutral loading experiments, the question as to whether plastic deformation occurs is found to depend on both the material and initial loading strain. Provided that initial loading is elastic, then a subsequent stress path that follows the boundary of the initial yield surface for a hardening material is truly neutral with a wholly elastic response. However, when initial loading is elastic-plastic, then further plastic deformation is produced from a subsequent stress path that follows an isotropic expansion of the initial yield surface. These results enable the appropriateness of the kinematic hardening rule and more recent developments in plasticity theory to be appraised. Neutral loading of a non-hardening material produces plastic flow. Whether the absence of hardening is inherent or induced by plastic prestrain, it is shown that the Prandtl-Reuss theory then represents the observed behavior. In general, the purely elastic and nonhardening solutions provide respectively lower and upper bounds on the deformation.     

A parameter for measuring the magnitude of a change of strain path: Validation and comparison with experiments on low carbon steel

Various tension-tension and tension-shear strain sequential experiments have been performed on low carbon steel sheet along different material axes. Owing to the rapid plastic instability that occurs during the reloading in uniaxial tension of prestrained samples, the results are focussed on the evolution of the macroscopic reloading yield stress (back extrapolated stress). For a given prestrain amount, the reloading stress is a function of the magnitude of the strain path change. A parameter is proposed, which allows the comparison of different sequential loading tests: the scalar product of the unit tensors corresponding to the prestrain and to the subsequent strain modes, respectively. For low carbon steel, a single curve is obtained when the reloading stress, normalized by the stress along the monotonic strain path is plotted against this parameter whatever the combination of loading sequences and the material direction of the prestrain.     

On fracture toughness of orthotropic metallic materials under cyclic loading

AVT-6 titanium alloy rolled sheet, which is initially isotropic and subject to kinematic hardening, is used as an example to analyze the effect of kinematic hardening on crack growth resistance under uniaxial cyclic loading. Crack growth resistance is characterized by the number of cycles to failure, critical crack length, and critical stress intensity factor. The subject of study is plane specimens with an edge notch. It is shown that prestrain changes the anisotropy of the specimens, which is determined as the ratio of the crack growth resistance in the rolling direction to that in the transverse direction. The crack path under a load applied at an angle to the axes of anisotropy is studied     

Comparison of the work-hardening of metallic sheets using tensile and shear strain paths

This work deals with the characterization of the kinematic work-hardening of a bake-hardening steel. A shear test device has been designed and its use for the characterization of the work-hardening of sheet metals is described. Two main results are presented. Firstly, a local strain measurement, based on the following of three dots drawn on the gauge area, gives the evolution of the strain tensor eigenvalues during the test. It is shown, by comparing the theoretical kinematics of simple shear with a slightly perturbated one, that the strain state is close to the ideal one in the center of the gauge area. Secondly, reversal of the shear direction is performed after several prestrain and the evolution of the kinematic work-hardening with the equivalent plastic strain has been identified using an anisotropic elasto-viscoplastic model of Hill 1948 type. Isotropic and kinematic contributions of the work-hardening are also calculated from loading–unloading tensile tests and are compared to those obtained from the simple shear tests. The results show a discrepancy between both identification for the isotropic and the kinematic hardening. However, they are in agreement concerning the evolution of the global work-hardening.     

A plane stress anisotropic plastic flow theory for orthotropic sheet metals

A phenomenological theory is presented for describing the anisotropic plastic flow of orthotropic polycrystalline aluminum sheet metals under plane stress. The theory uses a stress exponent, a rate-dependent effective flow strength function, and five anisotropic material functions to specify a flow potential, an associated flow rule of plastic strain rates, a flow rule of plastic spin, and an evolution law of isotropic hardening of a sheet metal. Each of the five anisotropic material functions may be represented by a truncated Fourier series based on the orthotropic symmetry of the sheet metal and their Fourier coefficients can be determined using experimental data obtained from uniaxial tension and equal biaxial tension tests. Depending on the number of uniaxial tension tests conducted, three models with various degrees of planar anisotropy are constructed based on the proposed plasticity theory for power-law strain hardening sheet metals. These models are applied successfully to describe the anisotropic plastic flow behavior of 10 commercial aluminum alloy sheet metals reported in the literature.     

A simple isotropic-distortional hardening model and its application in elastic–plastic analysis of localized necking in orthotropic sheet metals

In the present work an elastic–plastic constitutive model including mixed isotropic-distortional hardening is presented. The approach is very simple and requires only experimental data that are part of the standard characterization of sheet metals. It is shown that the distortional hardening contribution can be of considerable importance for localized necking prediction in orthotropic sheet metals.
