摘要

Materials modeling and numerical formulations were conducted to describe the complex material behavior upon strain path change in order to enhance the prediction accuracy of springback in advanced high strength steels (AHSS). An approach without kinematic hardening rule, or the homogeneous anisotropic hardening (HAH) model, was incorporated to the newly conceived quasi-plastic-elastic strain (QPE) formulations. The HAH model is able to capture complex plastic flow behavior of sheet metals such as the Bauschinger effect, transient behavior, work-hardening stagnation and permanent softening. The QPE approach was developed to reproduce the nonlinear elastic behavior during unloading and reloading. The two models were independently validated for predicting springback, with better performance than conventional constitutive models. In this study, the two models are combined and extended to enhance the prediction capability of springback in AHSS. For this purpose, fully implicit numerical algorithms were re-formulated to link the two modeling approaches using general anisotropic yield function and hardening for shell element. The original model was only valid for continuum isotropic element with analytical stress integration procedure. Simulations of 2D draw bending test were performed to validate the developed approach for two AHSS, DP780 and TRIP780, sheets. The springback prediction was significantly improved if most of the complex material behavior relating to elasticity and plasticity were taken into account in the finite element simulations.
