This paper presents an evaluation of the constitutive behaviour, including plastic anisotropy and mixed isotropic-kinematic hardening of two high strength steels, Docol 600DP and Docol 1200M, during strain path changes. A series of tensile and shear tests was performed on both virgin and pre-strained materials. The initial anisotropy and work hardening parameters were obtained from tensile tests, shear tests and a bulge test of the virgin material, whereas the kinematic hardening parameters were identified by comparing numerical predictions to experimental results related to the pre-strained materials. Numerical predictions using the obtained parameters agree well with the experimental results, both in the case of proportional, and under non-proportional strain paths.
