The purpose of this investigation is to examine the viability of using the sheet metal for forming applications. Forming limit diagram (FLD) composed of negative and positive minor strain with respect to major strain which occurs at directional zero strain with the critical thickness of sheet metal. The negative minor strain region of FLD is predicted by localized necking. However there is no d...

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for stress state - dependent flow localization in bifurcation failure model bounded through ductile damage in dynamically loaded sheets. Onset of localized necking is considered in phenomenological way for different strain rates to draw the forming limit diagram (FLD). Using a strain metal hardening exponent in the Vertex theory related to the strain ra...

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...
