Abstract
An equivalent plastic strain-dependent anisotropic material model was developed for 5754O aluminum alloy sheet. In the developed model, the anisotropy coefficients for Barlat's Yld2000-2d anisotropic yield function were established as a function of the equivalent plastic strain. The developed anisotropic material model was implemented into the commercial FEM code ABAQUS as a user material subroutine (UMAT) for simulations. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the developed material model, biaxial tensile tests were carried out using cruciform specimens and a biaxial loading testing machine. The results show that the developed material model predicts the experimental results better than the other three material models (Yld2000-2d, Mises and Hill48 yield functions). It is also found that the developed material model describes the uniaxial tensile test curves better than Yld2000-2d yield function. The deep drawing test for 5754O aluminum alloy sheet was carried out and was simulated with different material models. The comparison between the experimental and simulation results indicates that the developed material model predicts the earing profile better than other material models. It is concluded that the equivalent plastic strain-dependence of the material coefficients should be considered for the accurate prediction of the anisotropic deformation behavior of materials.
