Improvement of the Arcan Setup for the Investigation of Thin Sheet Behavior Under Shear Loading

Accurate predictions of thin sheet material springback during forming processes are great interest in the industry. However, sheets susceptible to buckling under shear loading. The present research aims at improving so-called Arcan setup for testing (1-5 mm) samples with large gauge areas (i.e., width about 21 by introducing anti-buckling devices mitigate sample buckling. Three monotonic and one cyclic tests were carried out on 1 mm thick C60 high carbon steel. use proposed device resulted suppression Numerical analyses experiment where was eliminated revealed predominant stress states area triaxiality = 0), which highlights minor influences state. To suppress buckling, essential. Moreover, friction coefficient between calibrated ( $$\mu 0.33$$ ) addition kinematic hardening parameters.
