This article details the ESAFORM Benchmark 2021. The deep drawing cup of a 1 mm thick, AA 6016-T4 sheet with strong cube texture was simulated by 11 teams relying on phenomenological or crystal plasticity approaches, using commercial self-developed Finite Element (FE) codes, solid, continuum classical shell elements and different contact models. material characterization (tensile tests, biaxial tensile monotonic reverse shear EBSD measurements) forming steps were performed care (redundancy...
Abstract Due to higher mechanical demands on technical parts, the application of short fiber reinforced thermoplastics for injection molding is strongly increasing. Therefore, more attention needs be paid optimization their recycling processes. Mechanical shredding into granules a common method within polymer industries. The breaking chains and reinforcing fibers during this process may affect material properties. This study presents effect ten sequences four different materials:...
A large number of conventional mechanical tests are required to calibrate advanced anisotropic yield functions. well-designed non-conventional test generating information-rich inhomogeneous strain fields enables reduce the experimental effort via inverse identification methods. Gradient-based methods have repeatedly been reported non-unique solutions for Although generic design progressively improves by maximizing information content using indicators describing inhomogeneity field, it...
The concept of the yield locus as a means representing plastic anisotropy textured material is remembered. It shown how such loci can be used in very general way, i.e. full six‐dimensional stress space. As an example actually obtained, series expansion method based on Taylor factors explained. finally that these approximated by analytical expressions and under form brought into finite element calculations elasto‐plastic forming processes.
