description An increasing demand exists within the automotive industry to utilize aluminum alloy sheets because of their excellent strength-weight ratio and low emissions, which can improve fuel economy and reduce environmental pollution. High-speed automobile impactions are complicated and highly nonlinear deformation processes. Thus, in this paper, a Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) damage model is used to describe the damage behavior of high-speed electromagnetic impaction to predict the fracture behavior of 5052-O aluminum alloy under high-speed impaction. The parameters of the GTN damage model are obtained based on high-speed electromagnetic forming experiments via scanning electron microscopy. The high-speed electromagnetic impaction behavior process is analyzed according to the obtained GTN model parameters. The shape of the high-speed electromagnetic impaction in the numerical simulations agrees with the experimental results. The analysis of the plastic strain and void volume fraction distributions are analyzed during the process of high-speed impact, which indicates the validity of using the GTN damage model to describe or predict the fracture behavior of high-speed electromagnetic impaction.
