In this article, the effect of different yield functions on prediction of forming limit curve (FLC) for aluminum sheet is studied. Due to importance of FLC in sheet metal forming, concentration on effective parameters must be considered exactly in order to have better theoretical prediction comparing experimental results. Yield function is one of the factors which are improved by adding new coe...

Species-rich private reserve for sale in Paraguay and other measures, says Environment Minister Manuel Pulgar-Vidal. The measure’s long-term impact may be in doubt, because Peru’s presidential runoff is scheduled for June 5 and the new government will take office July 28, just days after the 60-day emergency period expires. The two candidates, Keiko Fujimori and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, differ on...

This study analyses the effect of martensite grain size and its volume fraction in dual-phase (DP) steel on (1) formability limit, (2) average global behavior under different loading conditions, (3) damage initiation. The virtual RVEs (Representative Volume Elements) were constructed using DREAM.3D software with a variation microstructural attributes. numerical simulations carried out DAMASK, w...

The forming limit diagram (FLD) is a widely used tool to assess the formability of metal sheet [1]. current study aims investigate influence strain rate, material anisotropy and hardening on FLD Ti-6Al-4V predicted by well-known Marciniak-Kuczynski (M-K) method. tensile data quasi-static (8 10 -5 s -1 ), intermediate (0.5 ) dynamic experiments (approximately 1000 are available at three differen...

Forming limit diagrams (FLDs) are calculated based on both the Marciniak and Kuczynski (M-K)  model and the analysis proposed by Jones and Gillis (J-G). J-G analysis consisted of plastic deformation approximation by three deformation phases. These phases consisted of homogeneous deformation up to the maximum load (Phase I), deformation localization under constant load (phase II) and local necki...
