description This study is dedicated to the experimental characterisation and phenomenological modeling of the bake hardening effect of a thin steel sheet, to predict the static dent resistance and perform an experimental validation on a bulged part. In a first step, rectangular samples are submitted to a thermo-mechanical loading to characterise the bake hardening magnitude in tension. A three-step procedure is considered, involving first a pre-strain in tension up to several values followed by unloading. Secondly, a heat treatment during a fixed time and a given temperature is performed, and finally, a reloading in tension in the same direction as the pre-strain is applied. Then, a specific device is developed to perform dent tests on a bulged specimen, to evaluate the influence of bake hardening on the dent resistance. A three-step procedure is also considered, with a pre-strain applied with a hydraulic bulge test followed by a heat treatment and then static dent test at the maximum dome height. An original phenomenological model is proposed to represent the yield stress increase after the heat treatment and the second reloading. Material parameters are identified from the tensile tests and are input data to a finite element model. The numerical prediction of the load evolution during the dent test is then compared with experimental data and shows an overall good correlation.
