Failure Performance Analysis of Resistance Spot Welded Advanced High Strength Steel Sheets

Article Preview

Abstract:

A numerical method to predict failure performance was developed for resistance spot welded AHSS (advanced high strength steel) sheets in this work and applied for a TRIP (transformation induced steel sheets) 980 sheet. For the numerical analysis, utilizing the numerical inverse calibration method, hardening data and fracture criteria were characterized for the base and the weld nugget based on the standard simple tension test and a newly designed miniature tension test, respectively. The characterized properties of the base and the weld nugget were then applied to analyze failure performance in the coupon tests of the lap-shear and U-shape tension tests carried out for welded sheets. The analysis was performed under the quasi-static condition in this early effort and showed reasonably good agreement with experiments both in failure modes and strength.
