Anisotropic ductile fracture: experiments, modeling, and numerical simulations

The continuous hot rolling process induces anisotropy in the plastic yield and flow and results in an anisotropic ductile fracture. In this study, experiments, including uniaxial in-plane tension tests and shear tests of butterfly specimens along different material orientations, were performed, and...

description The continuous hot rolling process induces anisotropy in the plastic yield and flow and results in an anisotropic ductile fracture. In this study, experiments, including uniaxial in-plane tension tests and shear tests of butterfly specimens along different material orientations, were performed, and microscopic observations were used to determine the differences in damage mechanisms. The Yld91 anisotropic yield stress was introduced into the extended isotropic Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model, and the associated flow rule (AFR) and non-associated flow rule (NAFR) were adopted to formulate two anisotropic GTN models. Anisotropic GTN models were implemented in finite element software via user subroutines, and were used to predict the fracture initiation of Al2024-T351. For different plastic flow rules, the anisotropic parameters were calibrated using the anisotropic stress and Lankford coefficients. An inverse analysis with a two-stage optimization algorithm was adopted to calibrate the damage-related parameters. Moreover, an extended isotropic GTN model was adopted for comparison. The prediction accuracy of the proposed anisotropic GTN models was evaluated by analyzing the load responses and displacements at fracture for various specimens and material orientations. The good conformation between the experimental results and numerical predictions verifies the predictive ability of the proposed models to a certain degree. In addition, some suggestions and conclusions are provided for the formulation of an advanced anisotropic GTN model with enhanced accuracy.
