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