Comparison of Experimental and Numerical Failure Criterion for Formability Prediction of Automotive Part

Abstract:

The ability to predict the forming severity with respect to crack and failure is essential to analysis of sheet metal forming process. The forming limit diagram (FLD) is commonly used to gauge the formability of sheet metal. In this article, forming limit diagrams of cold rolled carbon steel (JIS-SPCC), which widely used to produce the parts of automobile, are obtained by performing experiment and FE simulation with the Nakajima-test. By using the GTN (Gurson-Tvergaard -Needleman) damage mechanical model, a failure criterion based on void evolution was examined in this FE simulation. The parameters of GTN model are determined through comparison of experimental and numerical result with Nakajima-test. These parameters acceptably can be used in GTN model using given material. In application case, the reliability of the GTN model for failure criterion in simulation with automotive part was confirmed.
