Plastic Instability Based on Bifurcation Analysis: Effect of Hardening and Gurson Damage Parameters on Strain Localization
Résumé
In this work, we propose to couple the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model, known for its widespread use to describe damage evolution in metallic materials, to the Rice localization criterion. The implementation of the constitutive modeling is achieved via a user material (UMAT) subroutine in the commercial finiteelement code ABAQUS. Large deformations are taken into account within a three dimensional co-rotational framework. The effectiveness of the proposed coupling for the prediction of the formability of stretched metal sheets is shown and Forming Limit Diagrams (FLDs) are plotted for an Aluminum alloy. A sensitivity analysis with respect to hardening parameters is carried out, andit is shown that these effects are much smaller for the case of the Rice criterion when compared toclassical criteria commonly utilized in metal forming.
