Material Modeling and Springback Analysis Considering Tension/Compression Asymmetry of Flow Stresses

Abstract:

In-plane tension/compression tests of a dual phase steel sheet with a tensile strength of 780 MPa were carried out using in-plane stress reversal testing machine. Remarkable tension/ compression asymmetry of flow stress (TCA) has been observed. Moreover, biaxial tensile tests using cruciform specimens were performed to measure contours of plastic work. The test material exhibited differential work hardening (DWH). In order to reproduce the TCA, an asymmetric quadratic yield function proposed by Verma et al. (2011) was used. The parameters of the yield function were changed as a function of reference plastic strain to reproduce the DWH. Furthermore, to assess the springback prediction accuracy of the developed model, a 3-point bending experiment and finite element analyses (FEA) were performed. It is concluded that the use of the material model that is capable of reproducing DWH and TCA is a must for a highly accurate FEA of springback.
