Texture-Based Explicit Finite-Element Analysis of Sheet Metal Forming

Article Preview

Abstract:

An explicit integration algorithm using a texture-based plastic potential and isotropic hardening has been developed and implemented into a commercial explicit finite-element software program through a user material subroutine (VUMAT in ABAQUS/Explicit). Simulations of cup drawing of an IF-steel are presented and compared to both experimental data and calculation results obtained with a previously developed fully implicit approach (UMAT in ABAQUS/Standard). The explicit formulation has the advantage of being more stable, but local sheet thickness variations cannot be reproduced with the same accuracy.
