This lecture aims at demonstrating the importance of material modeling for improving the predictive accuracy of numerical forming simulations. In the first part of the lecture, the multiaxial testing methods (MTMs) and in-plane stress reversal tests for sheet metals are briefly reviewed (ISO, 2014; Kuwabara, 2014). In the second part, the effects of material models (yield functions) on numerical forming simulations are demonstrated. The elastic-plastic deformation behaviors of aluminum alloy sheets and steel sheets are precisely measured to determine appropriate material models for the test materials. The precise measurements of the contours of plastic work and the directions of plastic strain rates reveal that the materials exhibit differential hardening (DH; Hakoyama and Kuwabara, 2015); the shapes of the work contours constructed in the principal stress space change with an increase in plastic work. The DH behavior is approximated by changing the material parameters and the exponent of the Yld2000-2d yield function (Barlat et al., 2003) as functions of the reference plastic strain. Using the DH and isotropic hardening models, forming limit analyses with the Marciniak–Kuczyński approach (Marciniak and Kuczyński, 1967) and finite element analyses of sheet metal forming processes, such as hydraulic bulge, hole expansion and bending, are performed. The calculated results are compared with experimental data, and the effects of the material models on the predictive accuracy of the forming simulations are discussed.
