Abstract A Taylor-type crystalline plasticity model, implemented into the commercial finite element analysis software, is coded as a subroutine to investigate the behavior of a stainless steel sheet with a body centered cubic (BCC) structure in the current study. Thickness variations of the sheet are examined under the micro-groove formation procedures. Effects of the spatial distribution of crystallographic orientations on the thickness distribution over the sheet are also demonstrated. Numerical results, based on the sheet with textured orientations, are in good agreement with the associated experimental measurements reported in the literature. More >

Abstract The Traditional Inverse Analysis Method (TIAM) of sheet metal stamping has the shortcoming of neglecting the effects of deformation history on stress prediction. An Updated Inverse Analysis Method (UIAM) is proposed based on the final workpiece in Euler coordinate system. The UIAM uses the constitutive equation based on pseudo flow theory of plasticity to consider the loading history. In order to avoid numerous iterations to ensure the numerical stability in Newton-Raphson scheme to obtain plastic multiplier ∆λ, the equation in unknown stress vectors is transformed into a scalar equation using the notion of the equivalent stress. Thus a scalar equation… More >
