Investigation of advanced strain-path dependent material models for sheet metal forming simulations

Sheet metal forming processes often involve complex loading sequences. To improve the prediction of some undesirable phenomena, such as springback, physical behavior models should be considered. This paper investigates springback behavior predicted by advanced elastoplastic hardening models which combine isotropic and kinematic hardening and take strain-path changes into account. A dislocation-based microstructural hardening model formulated from physical observations and the more classical cyclic model of Chaboche have been considered in this work. Numerical implementation was carried out in the ABAQUS software using a return mapping algorithm with a combined backward Euler and semi-analytical integration scheme of the constitutive equations. The capability of each model to reproduce transient hardening phenomena at abrupt strain-path changes has been shown via simulations of sequential rheological tests. A springback analysis of strip drawing tests was performed in order to emphasize the impact of several influential parameters, namely: process, numerical and behavior parameters. The effect of the two hardening models with respect to the process parameters has been specifically highlighted.     

Characterization and development of an evolutionary yield function for the superconducting niobium sheet

Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) niobium cavities are widely used in high-energy physics to accelerate particle beams in particle accelerators. The performance of SRF cavities is affected by the microstructure and purity of the niobium sheet, surface quality, geometry, etc. Following optimum strain paths in the forming of these cavities can significantly control these parameters. To select these strain paths, however, information about the mechanical behavior, microstructure, and formability of the niobium sheet is required. Due to the lack of information, first an extensive experimental study was carried out to characterize the formability of the niobium sheet, followed by examining the suitability of Hill’s anisotropic yield function to model its plastic behavior. Results from this study showed that, due to intrinsic behavior, it is necessary to evolve the anisotropic coefficients of Hill’s yield function in order to properly model the plastic behavior of the niobium sheet. The accuracy of the newly developed evolutionary yield function was verified by applying it to the modeling of the hydrostatic bulging of the niobium sheet.     

The effect of laser patterning parameters on fluorine-doped tin oxide films deposited on glass substrates

The purpose of this study is to pattern the fluorine-doped tin oxide thin film deposited on the soda-lime glass substrates for touch screen applications by ultraviolet laser. The patterned film structures provide the electrical isolation and prevent the electrical contact from each region for various touch screens. The surface morphology, edge quality, three-dimensional topography, and profile of isolated lines and electrode structures after laser patterning were measured by a confocal laser scanning microscope. Moreover, a four-point probe instrument was used to measure the sheet resistance before and after laser patterning on film surfaces and also to discuss the electrical property at different laser spot overlaps. After laser patterning, a high overlapping area of laser spot was used to pattern the electrode layer on film surfaces that could obtain an excellent machined quality of edge profile. All sheet resistance values of film surfaces near the isolated line edge were larger than the original ones. Moreover, the sheet resistance values increased with increasing laser spot overlapping area.

Laser cutting of sharp edge: Thermal stress analysis

Laser cutting of sharp edge and thermal stress development in the cutting section is examined. The finite element method is used to predict temperature and stress fields while the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique is used to measure the residual stress around the cut edges. A mild steel sheet with 5 mm thickness is used in the simulations and the experiment. The morphological and metallurgical changes around the edges are examined using the optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is found that temperature remains high at the sharp edge when the laser beam is located in this region. This, in turn, lowers the cooling rate and reduces von Mises stress in this region. The magnitude of the residual stress is about 90 MPa at the sharp corner while the maximum von Mises stress is in the order of 280 MPa, which occurs away from sharp corner. In addition, the residual stress predicted agrees with the experimental data.     

A novel quadratic yield model to describe the feature of multi-yield-surface of rolled sheet metals

Since Hill’s quadratic yield model [Hill, R., 1948. A theory of the yielding and plastic flow of anisotropic metals. Proc. Roy. Soc. Lond. A193, 281–297] cannot address enough experimental results for fairly describing the “anomalous” yield behavior as observed in some of rolled sheet metals, a new quadratic yield model is proposed. As the concept of multiple yielding systems is introduced into the new quadratic yield model, seven commonly used experimental results, three uniaxial tension stresses, one equibiaxial tension stress and three strain ratios, can all be taken into account for characterizing the anisotropy of rolled sheet metals. If more experimental results are extra needed for further improving the prediction, this yield model is still workable. As the experimental parameters are defined as functions of loading direction of corresponding test separately from the major part of yield model, the increase of experimental results regarding the same test does not vary the quadratic form of yield model. The representation of this yield model with axes of principal stresses demonstrates the similar form to Hill’s quadratic model. Therefore, many previous studies developed from Hill’s quadratic yield model can be directly upgraded by the new model to reach a higher accurate level.     

Elastic-plastic behaviour of dual-phase, high-strength steel under strain-path changes

The elastic-plastic behaviour of dual-phase, high-strength steel sheets under two-stage strain-path changes has been investigated. Three different loading sequences, namely monotonic, 45° tensile path changes and orthogonal tensile path changes complied by sequences of simple uniaxial tensile tests, were analysed at room temperature. From the experiments, it was found that there is a considerable reduction of the initial flow stress over the strain-path changes. The transient softening phenomenon is observed to be a function of orientation, and the period of the transient behaviour following the strain-path change is lengthened with the amount of pre-strain. A constitutive model is adopted that includes combined isotropic and kinematic hardening and is capable of describing the marked transient softening behaviour after the pre-straining. The experimental stress–strain behaviour subsequent to the strain path change is predicted with reasonable accuracy, while the model fails to accurately describe the transient, deformation-induced anisotropy in the plastic flow.
