Effect of Side Groove Shapes on Shear Lips Formation of Aluminium Alloy 6061 using Finite Element Analysis

Aluminium alloy 6061 is known for its superior mechanical characteristics, which include lighter weight properties, high specific strength,and simple fabrication. Hence, they are widely used to reduce the of vehicles as structural parts. issubjected velocity and various forces in courseofan accident. understanding impact properties aluminium alloys critical. The side groove shapes on shear lip development was examined this work. study V-shape, U-shape,and square-shape. By simulation using Abaqus software, Charpy test conducted todetermine lips ratio, energy absorbed, displacement force. It found that V-shape shape has lowest absorb compared U-shape low absorbed indicates behaviourof sample a fast-moving brittle fracture. Furthermore, it can be observed square-shape have ratio groove. lower material's more likely become brittle. In conclusion, when low, will tend ductility 6061, force also low.
