On the Utilization of Shear Modified GTN Damage Model in Cold Rolling

Article Preview

Abstract:

Edge cracking is a commonly observed phenomenon in cold rolling process, but researchers appear to be far from fully understanding its failure mechanism due to the complex stress conditions of steel strip under the rolling condition. In this research, the shear modified GTN damage model coupled with Nahshon-Hutchinson shear damage mechanism was applied to investigate the damage and fracture behavior of steel strip in cold rolling. The results show that the shear modified GTN damage model is competent to predict the damage and fracture behavior of steel strip in cold rolling. By comparison to the cold rolling experiment, it presents that the prediction of edge crack occurrence of the shear modified GTN damage model is more accurate than that of the original GTN damage model.
