In recent years, environmental concerns have led to a demand for sustainable materials, and natural rubber (NR) reinforced with cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) has been attracting attention as one such material. When CNFs are added to NR, the elastic modulus is greatly improved. This is considered to be caused by deformation constraint of NR by reinforcing CNFs. On the other hand, it is known that there exists a region around reinforcing fibers where the rubber is tightly connected to the surface of fibers, which is called bound rubber. The volume fraction of the bound rubber is usually measured by swelling tests using organic solvent. In this paper, we focused on the relationship between the tensile properties of NR reinforced with CNFs and the volume fraction of bound rubber. Firstly, cyclic tensile tests were performed using plate specimens of CNF-reinforced NR and the effect of reinforcing CNFs on the tensile properties of CNF-reinforced NR and their change with loading cycles were investigated. Then, the swelling tests were conducted for similar specimens and the volume fraction of the bound rubber was evaluated. It was found from a series of experimental results that tensile deformation resistance of NR increased largely by adding 5 phr (4.8 mass%, 3.2 vol.%) of CNFs but that this increase decreased from the second loading cycle. Moreover, a clear relationship was found between the tensile deformation resistance of CNF-reinforced NR and the volume fraction of bound rubber. These results suggest that the tensile deformation resistance of CNF-reinforced NR can be evaluated by swelling tests.

To investigate the tensile properties and slip deformation behavior of pure titanium thin wires with a small ratio of the diameter to the grain size, tensile tests and a stepwise tensile test were performed using specimens with a diameter of approximately 170 μm and grain sizes of 17 and 87 μm, corresponding to diameter-to-grain-size ratios of 10 and ∼2, respectively. The specimen with a diameter-to-grain-size ratio of 10 fractured through the growth of voids. The fracture morphology was similar to that of the bulk specimens. On the other hand, for specimens with a diameter-to-grain-size ratio of 2, fracture occurs owing to the local deformation, in which primary slip systems are activated in each grain. The stepwise tensile test of the specimen with a diameter-to-grain-size ratio of 2 indicated that the slip deformation tended to occur from the large grains. Moreover, the activities of the slip systems of grains were evaluated using the Schmid factor (SF) and critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of each slip system. It was noted that slip systems with the highest SF∙CRSS−1 were activated for 30 out of 33 grains.

The objective of this study is to clarify the effect of resin lamination on the tensile strength characteristics of SUS304 stainless steel thin films. We conducted tensile and stepwise tensile tests using several types of specimens prepared with 20-μm- and 40-μm-thick SUS304 films, 25-μm-thick polypropylene (PP) film, and 6-μm-thick polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film. Their macroscopic and microscopic tensile deformation behaviors were observed using an optical microscope and a reflection-configured digital holographic microscope, respectively. As a result, laminating the PP or PET films onto the SUS film did not significantly change the macroscopic and microscopic strain changes against the tensile load or microscopic surface changes in the low-strain region. Laminating the PET film onto the SUS film did not reduce the fracture strain, whereas laminating the PP film onto the SUS film did reduce it. One of the reasons may be that burrs formed on the side surface of the PP/SUS laminate. Polishing the side surface of the PP/SUS laminate may suppress the reduction in its fracture strain. The reduction of the fracture strain due to the PP lamination in the 20 μm thick SUS film was larger than that of the 40-μm-thick SUS film. In thin SUS films, small stress concentrators that have almost no effect on macroscopic and microscopic deformation might significantly reduce the fracture strain.

Gray cast iron has been used as a component in various mechanical parts, such as the blocks and heads of automobile and marine engines, cylinder liners for internal combustion engines, and machine tool bases. It is desirable because of its good castability and machinability, damping characteristics, and high performance-To-cost ratio. On the other hand, weak graphite flakes present in gray cast iron serve as stress concentrators and adversely affect the material strength. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the relationship between the distribution of graphite flakes and the strength or fracture of gray cast iron. In this study, tensile tests on gray cast iron were carried out using a plate specimen and observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the microscopic deformation was observed on the specimen surface. Particularly, the change in the size of graphite flakes during the tensile tests was examined, and the observed trend was discussed. The experimental results reveal that the dimensional changes in the graphite flakes vary in the observed area and that the final fracture occurs in an area where a large dimensional change is observed, suggesting that the fracture location or critical parts of gray cast iron can be predicted from the dimensional changes of the graphite flakes at an early stage of deformation.

Turbine blades for thermal power plants are exposed to severe environments, making it necessary to ensure safety against damage, such as crack formation. A previous method detected internal cracks by applying a small load to a target member. Changes in the surface properties of the material were detected before and after the load using a digital holographic microscope and a digital height correlation method. In this study, this technique was applied in combination with finite element analysis using a 2D and 3D model simulating the turbine blades. Analysis clarified that the change in the surface properties under a small load varied according to the presence or absence of a crack, and elucidated the strain distribution that caused the difference in the change. In addition, analyses of the 2D model considering the material anisotropy and thermal barrier coating were conducted. The difference in the change in the surface properties and strain distribution according to the presence or absence of cracks was elucidated. The difference in the change in the top surface height distribution of the materials with and without a crack was directly proportional to the crack length. As the value was large with respect to the vertical resolution of 0.2 nm of the digital holographic microscope, the change could be detected by the microscope.

<p>Pure titanium thin wires have been used for medical fields. It is important to investigate the possibility of non-destructive inspection of pure titanium thin wires for the safety utilization of them. In order to investigate a fracture prediction method for a pure titanium thin wire, we performed tensile and fatigue tests and a finite element analysis to analyze the changes of direct current potential difference and diameter distribution of the pure titanium thin wire during tensile and fatigue tests. It was found that a direct current potential difference method may be available for evaluating the tensile and fatigue damages of the pure titanium thin wire. In the tensile and fatigue tests, the normalized direct current potential difference increased almost linearly with an increase in the nominal strain, and a sign of an increase of the normalized direct current potential difference was observed when the fatigue crack propagated. Therefore, the nondestructive inspection could be conducted by setting a tolerance value of the normalized direct current potential difference, or detecting a sign of an increase in the normalized direct current potential difference. In addition, a method of predicting the fracture location from the diameter distribution change of the pure titanium thin wire was studied. The method could be applied to tensile and fatigue fractures.</p>

Copyright © 2020 ASME. Commercial pure titanium has been widely used in aerospace, chemical, and biomedical industries for its lightweight, high corrosion resistance, high strength, high heat resistance and good biocompatible properties. The market of pure titanium thin sheets is expected to increase in medical, dental, civil engineering, and acoustical engineering fields. On the other hand, pure titanium takes hexagonal closed-pack structure with anisotropic elasticity and plasticity. Inhomogeneous microscopic deformation always occurs by mechanical loading from the elastic condition. The inhomogeneity brings about various damages such as localized plastic deformation, microcracking, necking, and so on. Since the inhomogeneity is significant in thin sheets, it is important to investigate its deformation behavior. In this study, a tensile test was carried out using a thin sheet specimen of polycrystalline pure titanium, and the microscopic deformation of grains was measured by the digital holographic microscope. During the test, the height distribution of grains was measured in a fixed area on the front and back surfaces of the specimen at each tensile load step and the results at different load steps were compared. It was found from the measurement results that inhomogeneous deformation began at the small load due to anisotropic elasticity of crystal grains and expanded with the load by their anisotropic plasticity. Grain heights at grain center and those along grain boundaries were related with each other, and the grain heights on the front surface were inversely correlated with those on the back surface.

<title>Abstract</title>
Composite materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) and glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP) have been attracting much attention from the viewpoint of lightweight solution of automobiles and airplanes. However, the recyclability of these composite materials is not sufficient and the environmental load is large. Recently, self-reinforced polymer (SRP), in which similar polymer is used for reinforcing fibers and matrix, has been proposed. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers, so-called self-reinforced PE (SRPE), is one of the promising thermoplastic composites. In this study, SRPE plates were made and the tensile tests were carried out. After the effect of reinforcement of UHMWPE fibers was evaluated on the basis of the tensile strength, the relationship between the distribution of UHMWPE fibers and the location of the final fracture line was examined. It was found from these experimental results that the fracture tends to occur along the regions with low area fraction of fibers or along those with low area fraction of fiber/matrix boundaries. This fact suggests that the fracture location of SRPs is predictable from the distribution of reinforcing fibers.

Cold forging is a metal forming that which uses localized compressive force at room temperature. During the cold forging process, the tool is subjected to extremely high loads and abrasive wear. Lubrication plays an important role in cold forging to improve product quality and tool life by preventing direct metallic contact. Surface roughness and residual stress also greatly affects the service life of a tool. In this study, variations in surface roughness, residual stress, and specimen deformation with the number of cold forging cycles were investigated under different forging conditions. Specimens that were made of heat-treated SKH51 (59–61 HRC), a high-speed tool steel with a polished working surface, were used. The specimens were subjected to an upsetting process. Compressive residual stress, surface roughness, and specimen deformation showed a positive relationship with the number of forging cycles up to a certain limit and became almost constant in most of the forging conditions. A larger change in residual stress and surface roughness was observed at the center of the specimens in all the forging conditions. The effect of the magnitude of the forging load on the above discussed parameters is large when compared to the effect of the lubrication conditions.

A cyclic tensile test was carried out using a plate specimen of commercial pure titanium on a digital holographic microscope stage. Microscopic deformation of the grains was observed, and their height distribution was measured on the specimen surface. Each grain showed nanoscopic movement up and down, as well as reverse movement corresponding to specimen loading and unloading. We suggest that the different grain-specific changes in height were caused by microscopic inhomogeneities in the material, such as differences in the crystal orientation and geometries of both the surface and subsurface grains. Changes in grain height increased with tensile load, and a strong relationship was found between the height changes that occurred under elastic and plastic conditions. This suggests that microscopic plastic deformation is predictable from microscopic elastic deformation. In order to investigate the plastic deformation of grains in more detail, slip-line angles were measured after the tensile test. We found slip lines with similar angles in neighboring grains, suggesting that the plastic deformation of grains was not independent, but rather was related to that of surrounding grains and influenced by the deformation of subsurface grains.

Commercial pure titanium has been widely used in the aerospace, chemical, and biomedical industries because of its light weight, high corrosion resistance, high strength, high heat resistance, and good biocompatibility. Pure titanium takes the form of a hexagonal closed-pack structure with anisotropic elasticity and plasticity, with most of its components being polycrystalline aggregates having different crystal orientations. Small mechanical loading under elastic conditions therefore always induces inhomogeneous microscopic deformation, and the resulting inhomogeneity brings about various defects such as inhomogeneous plastic deformation, microcracking, and necking. It is therefore important to investigate the microscopic inhomogeneous deformation under elastic and plastic conditions. In this study, a plate specimen of commercial pure titanium was subjected to a tensile test on the stage of a digital holographic microscope (DHM), and the microscopic deformation of grains in the specimen under elastic and plastic conditions were observed and measured. During the test, the grains' height distribution was measured in a fixed area on the specimen's surface at each tensile loading step, and the correlation between height distributions at different loads was examined. We found from the measurements that each grain shows a different height change even under elastic conditions with a small load. This inhomogeneous height change was enhanced as the load was increased to plastic conditions. A strong correlation between the height changes under elastic and plastic conditions was also found. This result suggests that the microscopic deformation experienced under plastic conditions is predictable from that observed under elastic conditions.

Copper wires have been attracting much attention for Large Scale Integration (LSI) bonding because of their excellent mechanical and electrical properties, in addition to their low material cost. The ends of these wires are usually joined to pads or through-holes on a printed circuit board, and lead-free soldering is one of the popular bonding methods. Since the deformation resistance of solder is lower than that of copper, especially in slow deformation due to creep, the strain tends to be increased in the solder and concentrated near the copper/solder joint interface. Thus, fracture frequently occurs at this interface and may influence the quality of the product. It is therefore important to evaluate the bonding strength of thin copper wire and lead-free solder. In this paper, pullout tests of thin copper wire from lead-free solder were carried out, and the pullout behavior of the wires was observed. The bonding strength was evaluated based on the actual bonded area on the copper wire surface. Finally, the strength of the thin copper wire/solder joint was summarized using the shear and tensile strengths of the copper/solder interface as well as the tensile strength of the copper wire.

Solder joints have been used for electric connections in many electronic devices, and the joints are subjected to mechanical loadings such as static or cyclic tension/compression and shearing under various environments. Since the melting point of solder is very low comparing with the other normal metals, the time-dependent damage accumulation and fracture are often found in the solders even at the room temperature. In this paper, tensile tests of copper-cored lead-free solder ball and nickel rod joints were carried out in air, distilled water, and salt water environments using a unique testing device with permanent magnet. The time-dependent fracture of the joints was investigated from the viewpoint of damage accumulation.

This paper proposes a cyclic plasticity model to describe the closure of a cyclic stress-strain hysteresis loop based on the Y-U model. In this model, the backstress moves in a cyclic memory surface following a newly proposed kinematic hardening law. For this model just the same Y-U parameters can be used, and no additional material parameters are needed. By using a supplementary rule, this model is also able to describe ratcheting.

Geometrical discrepancy between formed part and designed one is one of the major problems for metal forming processes. Spring back behavior is one of the most important factors on the discrepancy, in not only sheet metal forming but also cold forging process. For cold forging process, it is difficult to observe the change in geometry of forgings before and after release of tools/dies, since the workpiece during forging is covered by tools/dies in most cases. Uncertainty remains for the precision on geometrical prediction after spring back of the cold forged part. In the present research, the diameters of extruded shaft at the bottom dead center and after the release of tools/dies were measured to investigate the spring back behavior in the cold forging process. As a result of experiment, the diameter of extruded shaft was increased at the bottom dead center by spring back and decreased after the release by re-extrusion. For these series of change in diameter, FE analyses using isotropic and kinematic hardening models were performed in order to evaluate influence of spring back on the material hardening models in forging process. For kinematic hardening model, Yoshida-Uemori model modified for large strain region was employed. As a result of calculation, both the isotropic and kinematic hardening models showed the similar tendency on the change in diameter with the experimental one.

In sheet metal industries, press-formed sheet elements are usually adhesively bonded together at the final stage of assembly. Instead of such a conventional process, the present authors proposed a new technique that first flat sheets are adhesively bonded together and then press-formed into the final products [1]. In previous study, the problem of the die-bending (V-bending and hat-shaped bending) with symmetrical shape has studied. In this study, asymmetric-shaped bending of adhesively bonded sheet metals was investigated by experiments and FEM analysis method. In the case of asymmetric-shaped bending, it was found that the timing of contact from the die corner to the die hypotenuse is early in the press-forming process compared with symmetrical bending (V-bending and hat-shaped bending). For the FEM analysis results, the maximum shear strain in asymmetric-shaped bending was smaller than that in symmetric-shaped bending at the hat-shaped side. Thus, the shape of the die has a large influence on the die-bending of adhesively bonded sheet metals.

For accurate springback calculations, the development of accurate constitutive equation Yoshida-Uemori model must always be taken into account. However, several springback calculations of other sheet metals by Yoshida-Uemori model have shown wrong agreements with the corresponding experimental data. The reason is why most of them have been calculated from the view point of the accuracy of Bauschinger effect without the strong anisotropy of sheet metal. In the present paper, we have investigated how the initial anisotropy affects the amount of springback for aluminum sheet metals with Bauschinger effect. Specifically, hat bending experiments in R.D. and T.D. were compared with the corresponding calculations. From the above mentioned comparisons, we found that the optimum combination of an anisotropic yield functions and Yoshida-Uemori model is very important for accurate springback analysis.

Thin metal films deposited on polymers have been attracting much attention in flexible electronics. Various combinations of film and polymer substrate are expected to be developed. In this paper, deformation and fracture of thin metal film on polymer substrate was briefly analysed and the influencing factors were summarized. After that, focusing on the shape and thickness of thin metal film on polymer substrate, cracking behavior of small rounded-rectangular thin gold films called "strips" with a thickness less than one micrometer was observed under cyclic and stepwisely-increased trapezoidal tensions. The strips were deposited on a polycarbonate plate specimen, and wide and narrow strips with different thickness were prepared for the tests. The cracking behaviour was successfully observed and the increasing rate of crack number with the load or strain was examined. Since most cracks were initiated from the small defects, the crack initiation behavior was correlated with the distribution of defects.

During the last few decades, the enhancement of prediction capability of the sheet metal forming have been increasing dramatically. High accurate yield criteria and wokhardening model (especially, non-linear kinematic hardening model) have a great importance for the prediction of the final shapes of sheet metal. However, the predicted springback accuracy of aluminum alloy sheet metal is not still good due to their complicated plastic deformation behaviors. In the present research, the springback deformation of aluminum alloy sheet metals were investigated by finite element calculation with consideration of initial anisotropy and the Bauschinger effect. In order to examine the effect of the initial and deformation induced anisotropy on the springback deformation, several types of high accurate yield function and hardening rules are utilized in the present research. The calculated springback by Yoshida 6th yield function [1] and Yoshida-Uemori model [2] shows an excellent agreement with the corresponding experimental data, while the other models underestimate the springback.

<p>The isotropic hardening model for an elastic-plastic material have often been used for simulation of cold forging processes, by which, however, it is difficult to represent the Bauschinger effect properly. On the other hand, considering the Bauschinger effect is essential for more precise simulation of the forming process as well as the strength of the forged part without heat treatment. One example is a cold-forged bolt of stainless steel. In the present paper, for two multistage cold forming processes of non-heat-treated stainless steel bolts, the simulations of the forming process and the strength were performed by FE analysis using the YU model that is one of the kinematic hardening models being able to express the Bauschinger effect. As a result, the Bauschinger effect during the forming process can be expressed properly. Moreover, by carrying out the analysis on the tensile test of the forged bolt, the difference in strength by between the isotropic and the kinematic hardening models can be estimated clearly. Furthermore, the effect of the forming process on the strength of the forged bolt can also be evaluated appropriately.</p>

The present paper proposes a framework for constitutive modeling of plasticity to describe the evolution of anisotropy and the Bauschinger effect in sheet metals. An anisotropic yield function, which varies continuously with increasing plastic strain, is defined as an interpolation between two yield functions at two discrete levels of plastic strain. Several types of nonlinear functions of the effective plastic strain are proposed for the interpolation. A framework for a combined anisotropic-kinematic hardening model of large-strain cyclic plasticity with small elastic strain is presented, and the details of modeling which is based on the Yoshida-Uemori, model (Yoshida et al., 2002, Yoshida and Uemori, 2002, 2003) are described. The shape of the yield surface and that of the bounding surface are assumed in the model to change simultaneously. The model was validated by comparing the calculated results of stress strain responses with experimental data on r-value and stress-directionality changes in an aluminum sheet (Hu, 2007) and a stainless steel sheet (Stoughton and Yoon, 2009), as well as the variation of the yield surface of an aluminum sheet (Yanaga et al., 2014). Furthermore, anisotropic cyclic behavior was examined by performing experiments of uniaxial tension and cyclic straining in three sheet directions on a 780-MPa advanced high-strength steel sheet.

In order to clarify the inhomogeneous deformation of thin copper wire, an interrupted tensile test was carried out on the stage of the digital holographic microscope (DHM). The inhomogeneity was evaluated based on the non-uniform change in height distribution on the surface of thin wire specimen during the test. Microscopic plastic deformation by a unit of crystal grain and large gradient in height distribution along grain boundaries were observed. The increase in average height of grain between two earlier loading steps corresponded to that between two later loading steps. This result suggests that the microscopic deformation at the latter stage of tension is predictable from that at the early stage of the tension.

The present paper describes a framework for the constitutive modeling of a large-strain cyclic plasticity to describe the evolution of anisotropy and the Bauschinger effect of sheet metals that is based on the Yoshida-Uemori kinematic hardening model. In the model, the shapes of the yield and the bounding surfaces are assumed to change simultaneously with increasing plastic strain. An anisotropic yield function that varies continuously with the plastic strain is defined by a nonlinear interpolation function of the effective plastic strain using a limited number of yield functions determined at a few discrete points of plastic strain. With this modeling framework, any type of yield function can be used and the convexity of the yield surface is always guaranteed. A set of kinematic parameters can be identified experimentally independent of the anisotropic parameters.

The use of a plasticity model that properly describes material behavior is of vital importance for accurate numerical simulation of sheet metal forming, especially for the prediction of springback. For that purpose a large-strain cyclic plasticity model, so-called Yoshida-Uemori model, was proposed in the kinematic hardening modeling framework. It is able to describe properly material behavior, such as the Bauschinger effect, the workhardening stagnation, strain-range dependent cyclic workhardening, as well as the degradation of unloading stress-strain slope with increasing plastic strain. The model has been implemented into several FE commercial codes, and it is widely used in sheet metal forming industry. By using it, the accurate springback prediction, especially for high strength steel sheets, is made possible.

This paper describes fully implicit stress integration scheme for Yoshida's 6th order yield function combined with Yoshida-Uemori kinematic hardening model and its consistent tangent matrix. Cutting plane method was employed for accurate integrations of stress and state variables appeared in Yoshida-Uemori model. In the present scheme, equivalent plastic strain, stress tensor and all the state variables are treated as independent variables in order to handle the 6th order yield function which is not the J2 yield function, and the equilibriums for each variables are solved for the stress integration. Subsequently, exact consistent tangent matrix which is necessary for implicit static finite element simulation was obtained. The proposed scheme was implemented into finite element code LS-DYNA and deep drawing process for aluminum alloy sheet was calculated. The earing appearance after drawing was compared with the experiment.

In this paper, the deformation behavior of adhesive layer in die-Bending for adhesively bonded sheet metals was investigated by experiments and finite element method (FEM). We paid special attention to the bending/unbending shear deformation of the adhesive layer during the die-Bending of adhesively bonded sheet metals by using highly ductile acrylic adhesive. Major results obtained are summarized as follows: (1) The bending/unbending shear deformation of the adhesive layer was observed during the die-Bending. (2) The punch radius has a large influence on the die-Bending in the adhesively bonded sheet metals. (3) It is desirable to perform die-Bending at high speed as well as air-Bending. © (2015) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

In sheet metal forming, crack in the formed sheets is one of the serious defects, and it is tried to avoid the crack by use of numerical simulation. In the simulation, period and location of the occurrence should be quantitatively evaluated by the formulated criteria. For prediction of crack occurrence, various ductile fracture criteria have been proposed. These criteria are based on the void damage theory and include effect of void growth and coalescence at the late stage of the fracture. In sheet forming, however, not only crack but also necking is problems, and it is important to obtain forming limit of the uniform deformation. Although the forming limit has been examined by M-K theory etc., the criteria does not reach the sufficient level. We consider that the plastic deformation depend on the shear deformation and the criterion by three principal shear strain energies is proposed. In order to verify applicability of the criterion, flat-die drawing tests of aluminum sheets with proportional and non-proportional strain passes were carried out and the forming limit curves predicted by the proposed criterion comparatively agrees with the test results.

For accurate springback calculations, the development of accurate constitutive equation “Yoshida–Uemori model” must always be taken into account. However, several springback calculations of other sheet metals by Yoshida–Uemori model have shown wrong agreements with the corresponding experimental data. The reason is why most of them have been calculated from the view point of the accuracy of Bauschinger effect without the strong anisotropy of sheet metal. In the present paper, we have investigated how the initial anisotropy affects the amount of springback for aluminum sheet metals with Bauschinger effect. Specifically, hat bending experiments in R.D. and T.D. were compared with the corresponding calculations. From the above mentioned comparisons, we found that the optimum combination of an anisotropic yield functions and Yoshida–Uemori model is very important for accurate springback analysis.

The framework for the complex step derivative approximations (hereafter CDSA) to calculate the consistent tangent moduli is studied. The present methods is one of the most effective methods to implement any material constitutive equations to the commercial finite element codes and does not suffer from calculation conditions and errors. In order to confirm the efficiency of CDSA, we developed the user subroutine code based on the CDSA using associative J2 flow rules with general nonlinear isotropic hardening rules that is commonly and widely utilized in commercial finite element codes. In this study, the user material subroutine 'Hypela2' of MSC.Marc (ver.2013.0.0) was utilized. The finite element calculation result by the proposal method shows a good agreement with the corresponding result by the MSC.Marc default setting. Also we apply the Yoshida-Uemori back stress model to the CDSA and evaluate this new technique to predict the deformation behavior of high tensile strength steel sheet. © (2015) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Aluminum sheet metals have been widely utilized for a light weight construction of automobile. However, these metals still remain one of the difficult materials to predict the accurate final shapes after press forming processes, because of several mechanical features such as plastic anisotropy of yield stress and small Lankford value. In order to solve the problems, the present author has developed a new constitutive model. The model can describe accurate non-proportional hardening behaviors of aluminum sheet metals. In the present research, some experimental procedures were carried out to reveal the mechanical properties of an aluminum sheet under proportional and non-proportional deformations. The comparisons between experimental data and the corresponding calculated results by the proposed constitutive model confirm the advantages of our model. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Conventional plasticity models assume that shapes of yield surfaces are remain fixed throughout plastic deformation. However, some experiments show that anisotropy is changing with increasing plastic strain. This paper proposes a constitutive model that describes the evolution of anisotropy, both for the stress directionality and r-values, of sheet metals. The evolution of anisotropy is expressed by the change of the yield function as a function of the effective plastic strain. The anisotropy model is validated by comparing the experimental data on AA6022-T43 aluminium sheet (after Stoughton, T. B. and Yoon, J. W., Int J Plasticity 25 (2009) 1777-1817). This model is incorporated into the Yoshida-Uemori kinematic hardening model to describe both the Bauschinger effect and the anisotropy evolution. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Aluminum alloy sheet metals have been widely utilized for a light weight construction of automobile. However, Aluminum sheet metals still remain one of the difficult materials to predict the accurate final shapes after press forming processes, because of several mechanical weak features such as lower Young's modulus, strong plastic anisotropy of yield stress, Lankford values, and so on. In order to solve the problems, the present author has developed a new constitutive model called "Modified Yoshida-Uemori model". The present model can describe accurate non-proportional hardening behaviors of Aluminum alloy sheet metals.
In the present research, several experimental procedures were carried out to reveal the mechanical properties of Aluminum alloy sheet metals. From the comparison between experimental data and the corresponding calculated results by our constitutive model, the performance of our model was evaluated.

In this paper, the deformation behavior of adhesive layer in stretch-bending/unbending for adhesively bonded sheet metals was investigated by experiments and finite element method (FEM). We paid special attention to the cyclic shear deformation of the adhesive layers during the plastic working. Major results obtained are summarized as follows: (1) When the adhesively bonded sheet metals is bent and pulled out at a 90 degrees angle, shear deformation due to bending of the adhesive layer starts shortly before reaching the die corner and unbending starts at the middle of the corner. (2) The die radius has a large influence on the bending behavior. (3) It is possible to suppress shear deformation of the adhesive layer by using a material with small tensile strength as one of the two adherends.

It is widely known that the constitutive model of Bauschinger effect is one of key points to conduct the accurate sheet metal stamping. In the present research, the elasto-plasticity behaviors of thin sheet metals were investigated by conducting in-plane cyclic tension-compression tests in the different angle from the pre-strained direction. In order to evaluate the accuracy of constitutive models for describing the above mentioned elasto-plasticity behaviors, including the Bauschinger effect, some numerical experiments were conducted for the corresponding stress paths calculations by using three kinds of constitutive models: the isotropic hardening model (hereafter IH model), Yoshida-Uemori model (hereafter Y-U model), and the modified Yoshida-Uemori kinematic hardening model (hereafter modified Y-U model). From the comparisons, it is found that the author's present constitutive model shows a good agreement with the experimental stress-strain responses.

A sixth-order polynomial type 3D yield function, which has a high flexibility of describing anisotropic behavior of steel sheet, is proposed. The yield function is constructed as a sum of several components of the Cazacu and Barlat, 2001 which was derived as an extension of the J2-J3 Drucker yield criterion (Drucker, 1949) to orthotropy using the linear transformation of the stress deviator, so that the convexity of the yield locus is perfectly guaranteed. The model was validated by comparing the numerical predictions of planar anisotropy of r-values and flow stress directionality, as well as the shape of yield loci, with the corresponding experimental data on several types of steel sheets (high r-valued IF steel and SPCE, and high strength steel sheets of 440-980 MPa TS grades). For most of steel sheets, the model using the sum of two J(2) components, which involve eight anisotropic coefficients, is sufficient for the description of their anisotropies. Further it was found that the consideration of J(3) effect improves the description of anisotropy for some steel sheets (e.g., high r-valued IF steel and 980 MPa grade dual phase HSS).

The Yoshida-Uemori model (Y-U model) can be used with any types of yield functions. The calculated stress strain response will be, however, different depending on the function chosen and on the effective plastic strain definition. Thus several modifications to the Y-U model were proposed in the 10th International Conference on Technology of Plasticity [1]. It was ascertained that in the modified Y-U model, the same set of material parameters can be used with von Mises, Hill's 1948, and Hill's 1990 yield function. In this study, Yld2000-2d and Yoshida's 6th-order polynomial type 3D yield function were examined and it was clarified that the same set of Y-U parameters can be used with these yield functions.

The magnesium alloys, that have high specific strength, are often applied to the industrial products. However, the magnesium alloys exhibit low ductility at the room temperature on account of its hexagonal close-packed structure. It is difficult to give large deformation to the magnesium alloys at room temperature. Therefore, the plastic forming of a magnesium alloy sheet needs the process at warm temperature. In the present work, the procedure of thermal-mechanical coupled analyses are employed. The numerical simulations of warm deep drawings have been performed in order to evaluate the dependence of the temperature on the plastic forming of a magnesium alloy AZ31 sheet. The mechanical properties of the magnesium alloy AZ31 shall be described as the functions depending on temperature. The shapes of punches and die holes are rectangle whose aspect ratios are 1.5 or 2.0. The corners of punches and dies are heated locally at 473K. The influence of local heating on the formability have been investigated. The relation between the blank size and the formability has been also estimated. As the results of numerical simulations, it was shown that the formability of deep drawing was improved by local heating to the punch and the die. When the blanks of various sizes were tried, the distributions of the plastic strain rate around the die corner were changed. Therefore, the deviation of the plastic flow and the temperature distribution arose in a sheet. Consequently, it is necessary to optimize the blank sizes according to the shape of die holes in addition to the forming temperature.

In this study, the fabrication conditions of WC cemented carbides by direct selective laser melting were investigated. The effects of additives, such as Co, Cu-20%Sn and Cu powders, and laser scanning conditions on laser sintering process were examined to fabricate a sound laser-scanned body of WC cemented carbides. The optimum laser power, scan speed and scan pitch were found out by experiments. It was found that the continuously smooth single-scan track can be obtained at a lower laser power and a higher scan speed by the addition of 30% Cu powder. The smooth surface of the laser-scanned body could be fabricated at a laser power of 9 W, a scan speed of 20 mm/s and a scan pitch of 0.05 mm. Copyright © 2012 by ASME.

In sheet metal forming, the anisotropy and the Bauschinger effect of sheets affect greatly their formability. This paper discusses how the planar anisotropy and cyclic plastic behavior (the Bauschnger effect and cyclic workhardening characteristics) correlate with the crystallographic texture based on the crystal plasticity analysis on A5052-O sheet. The analytical predictions of r-values and the cyclic stress-strain responses are compared with the experimental observations (S. Tamura et al., Materials Trans, 52-5 (2011), pp.868-875).

Elasto-plasticity behavior of an IF steel sheet was investigated by performing uniaxial tension tests in three directions (0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees to the rolling direction of the sheet), in-plane cyclic tension compression test and bi-axial tension test. The sheet has strong planar anisotropy (r(0) = 2.15, r(45) = 2.12 and r(90) = 2.89) but very weak flow stress directionality. Equi-biaxial flow stress is as large as 1.23 times of the uniaxial flow stress. These elasto-plasticity deformation characteristics, as well as the Bauschinger effect and cyclic hardening behavior, are well described by a macro-plasticity model (Yoshida-Uemori model incorporating with the 4th-order anisotropic yield function). Further, the simulation of elasto-plasticity stress strain responses of the sheet were conducted by two types of crystal plasticity models, i.e., Taylor hypothesis based model and CPFEM, using the crystallographic orientation distribution data measured by neutron diffraction method. The models capture most of the above-mentioned deformation characteristics qualitatively, but the predicted anisotropy and the Bauschinger effect are weaker than those of the real material. The CPFEM gives more realistic results than the Taylor model.

To investigate the deformation behavior of a magnesium sheet, the finite element calculation was carried out under tension and in-plane cyclic tension-compression test. From the experimental data, the twin deformation was observed during the tensile deformation after uniaxial compression. For the accurate description of the above mentioned twin deformation, we have developed the constitutive equation of twining behavior. From the comparison, it is found that the developed constitutive equations can calculate stress-strain response accurately.

The porous titanium implants were tried to fabricate by metal injection molding process. Gas-atomized Ti powder and PMMA powders of various mean particle diameters between 20 and 185 μm were used. The pore size was approximately proportional to the diameter of PMMA powder. The relative density and tensile strength of the sintered compact decreased with increasing the mean particle diameter of PMMA powder. The tension and compression tests were performed to examine the mechanical properties of the porous sintered compacts. The tensile strength of the porous sintered compact added 30 vol.%PMMA of diameter of 185 μm was around 300 MPa. It was found that the strength of the porous compact decreases with increasing the amount of addition of PMMA powder. The design of dental implants was investigated by using a FEM analysis. As a result, the porous dental titanium implants were successfully fabricated by metal injection molding process.

A 6th-order polynomial type 3D yield function, which has a high flexibility of describing anisotropic behavior of steel sheets is proposed. A user-friendly scheme of material parameter identification for the model, where only limited experimental data of r-values and yield stresses in three directions (r(0),r(45),r(90) and alp sigma(0),sigma(45),sigma(90)) plus equi-biaxial yield stress (sigma(x) = sigma(y) = sigma(b)) are needed, is presented. The accuracy of this yield function is verified by comparing the numerical predictions with the corresponding experimental data on planar anisotropy of r-values and flow stress directionality, as well as the shape of yield loci, on several types of steel sheets (high r-value IF steel and high strength steel sheets of 440-980MPa TS levels). The advantage of this model is demonstrated by showing a numerical simulation of hole-expansion test.

For the accurate simulation of springback on high strength steel sheets, the use of an appropriate material model is of vital importance. In general, major aspects of material modelling are on the yield function and the hardening law. In the present work, using the framework of Yoshida-Uemori model (F. Yoshida and T. Uemori, Int J Plasticity, 18, 2002, 661-686), which is an advanced kinematic hardening model incorporating with a selected anisotropic yield function, FE simulations of springback in draw bending and S-rail forming (Numisheet'96 model) of 590 and 980MPa levels high strength steel sheets were performed, and the results were compared with the corresponding experimental observations. From the results, it is concluded that the modelling of the Bauschinger effect, including the plastic-strain dependent Young's modulus, is essential for accurate simulation of springback of high strength steel sheets, but the selection of an anisotropic yield function would be of minor effect since most of HSSs have weak anisotropies.

Since high strength steel sheets have low ductility, fracture sometimes occurs in their press forming, especially at a die corner under stretch bending. In the present work, the fracture limits of high strength steel sheets under stretch bending were investigated by performing three-points stretch bending experiments with various punch-radii on six types of high strength steel sheets (590-1180MPa). From the experiment, it was found that stronger the sheet lower the fracture limit measured by limit wall stretch, L-max/L-0(L-max: limit wall length of a sheet, L-0: initial wall length). It comes from a fact that the workhardening exponent (n-value) decreases with increasing the strength of the sheet. To predict the fracture limits, a fracture criterion proposed by Yoshida et al., in which limit wall stretch is explicitly given as a function of non dimensional bending radius, t(0)/R (t(0): sheet thickness, R: bending radius) and materials' n-value, was employed. The predicted limit wall stretch, as well as the limit forming height, was in good agreement with the corresponding experimental results.

To examine the deformation characteristic of type 5000 and 6000 aluminum alloy sheets, uniaxial tension, biaxial stretching and in-plane cyclic tension-compression experiments were performed, and from these, r-values (r(0), r(45) and r(90)), yield loci and cyclic stress-strain responses were obtained. For the accurate description of anisotropies of the materials, high-ordered anisotropic yield functions, such as Gotoh's biquadratic yield function and Barlat's Yld2000-2d, are necessary. Furthermore, for the simulation of cyclic behavior, an advanced kinematic hardening model, such as Yoshida-Uemori model (Y-U model), should be employed. The effect of the selection of material models on the accuracy of the springback prediction was discussed by performing hat bending FE simulation using several yield functions and two types of hardening laws (the isotropic hardening model and Y-U model).

With the great development of computer hard technologies, there is a great demand for the accurate finite element analysis which can deal with the morphology of materials. There were so many reports that the complicated plastic deformation behaviors such as "Work hardening", "Bauschinger effect" and "Permanent softening" is related to morphology. We have introduced the Homogenization theory into the commercial finite element code "Marc" in order to research how different stress-strain responses were obtained.

High tensile strength steel sheets have been widely used in the automobile industries to produce the light weight constructions. However the large springback deformation due to the high flow stress makes it difficult to the final shapes of car parts. In order to solve the problem, we propose the most accurate constitutive equation "Yoshida-Uemori model". In the present report, we evaluated usefulness of the constitutive equation.

Forming Limit Diagrams (FLDs) of a magnesium alloy (AZ31) sheet at various forming speeds (3 to 300 mm.mm(-1)) at several temperatures of 100-250 degrees C were investigated by performing a punch stretch-forming test. The forming limit strains increased with temperature rise and with decreasing forming speed, where the effect of forming speed was stronger at higher temperatures. To describe such a characteristic of FLD of AZ31, the Marciniak-Kucznski type forming limit analysis was conducted using the Backofen-type constitutive equation (sigma = C epsilon(n) (epsilon) over dot(m)). In this analysis, the damage evolution in the necking zone was taken into account based on Oyane&apos;s ductile fracture criterion. The numerical results of the FLD show a good agreement with the corresponding experimental observations.

This paper deals with plastic deformations of a high tensile strength steel sheet (HTSS sheet) under biaxial stress condition including strain path. Using a cruciform specimen of a HTSS sheet of 780MPa-TS, experiments under proportional and non-proportional loadings were investigated. Numerical simulations of stress-strain responses for several strain paths after biaxial stretching were conducted using a large-strain cyclic plasticity model (Yoshida-Uemori model). The results of numerical simulation agrees well the corresponding experimental results, which is attributed to the accurate modeling of the backstress evolution of the anisotropic yield function.

The elastopasticity behavior of a high-strength steel sheet was investigated by performing biaxial tension experiments. To evaluate the accuracy of constitutive models in describing such elastoplasticity behavior, numerical simulations of stress-strain responses were conducted for the same stress paths as those in the experiments using two types of models: the isotropic hardening model (IH model) and the kinematic hardening model proposed by the present authors (Yoshida-Uemori model). In this work, special emphasise is placed in the cases of stress-path change. In experiments on radial loadings after equibalanced tension preloading, it was found that flow stresses are considerably lower than uniaxial tension flow stress. The IH model hardly describes this phenomenon, although it is sufficient for stress-strain analysis of proportional loading cases. In contrast, the Yoshida-Uemori model can well predict every stress-strain response in biaxial stress-path changes.

Forming Limit Diagrams (FLDs) of a magnesium alloy (AZ31) sheet at various forming speeds (3 to 300 mm.mm(-1)) at several temperatures of 100-250 degrees C were investigated by performing a punch stretch-forming test. The forming limit strains increased with temperature rise and with decreasing forming speed, where the effect of forming speed was stronger at higher temperatures. To describe such a characteristic of FLD of AZ31, the Marciniak-Kucznski type forming limit analysis was conducted using the Backofen-type constitutive equation (c = C epsilon(n)epsilon(m)). In this analysis, the damage evolution in the necking zone was taken into account based on Oyane&apos;s ductile fracture criterion. The numerical results of the FLD show a good agreement with the corresponding experimental observations.

This paper deals with plastic deformations of a high tensile strength steel sheet (HTSS sheet) under biaxial stress condition including strain path. Using a cruciform specimen of a HTSS sheet of 780MPa-TS, experiments under proportional and non-proportional loadings were investigated. Numerical simulations of stress-strain responses for several strain paths after biaxial stretching were conducted using a large-strain cyclic plasticity model (Yoshida-Uemori model). The results of numerical simulation agrees well the corresponding experimental results, which is attributed to the accurate modeling of the backstress evolution of the anisotropic yield function.

Finite element simulations of temper rolling of a steel sheet were performed using a model of elasto-viscoplasticity that describes the yield-point phenomena such as a high upper yield point, the rate-dependent Luders strain at the yield plateau and the subsequent workhardening. From the simulations of uniaxial tension of temper-rolled sheets, the mechanism of elimination of the yield point by rolling has been clarified. For the purpose of the elimination of the yield point, the roughness of the roll plays an important role. During the temper rolling with rough surface rolls, a number of plastic zones are non-uniformly formed on the surfaces of the sheet, and from these numerous Luders bands will start to propagate simultaneously. Consequently, macroscopic plastic deformation more likely to occur in the temper-rolled sheet under a comparatively low load without showing the yield point.

Magnesium alloys usually exhibit low ductility at the room temperature due to its hexagonal close-packed structure, but it will be improved at elevated temperature. Therefore, warm press-forming of magnesium alloy sheets is quite attractive. In order to determine the optimum condition of press-forming for magnesium alloy sheets, in the present work, the effects of strain rate, temperature and sheet thickness on the yield locus were experimentally investigated. The yield loci of magnesium alloy (AZ31) sheets with different sheet thickness (0.5 and 0.8 mm) were obtained by performing biaxial tensile tests, using cruciform specimens, at temperatures of 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 degrees C at strain rates of 10(-2), 10(-3) and 10(-4) s(-1). Based on the experimental results, the effects of strain rate, temperature and sheet thickness on the yield locus were discussed. The size of yield locus drastically decreases with increasing temperature and decreases with decreasing strain rate. in contrast with the temperature and strain-rate dependence of the yield locus, sheet thickness has no influence on the yield locus. The shape of the yield locus of magnesium sheet is far from the predictions calculated by the yield functions of von Mises, Hill and Cazacu. Instead of these, the yield functions of Logan-Hosford or Barlat is a better choice for the accurate description of biaxial tension stress-strain responses at high temperature. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

This paper describes a model of large-strain cyclic plasticity and its verification by some experiments of cyclic plasticity and biaxial stretching. The performance of this model in springback simulation is discussed by comparing the calculated results for S-rail forming with the experimental data on high strength steel sheet (HSS) of 980MPa-TS. The results of numerical simulations of the springback agree well with the corresponding experimental data, including the torsion-type springback appearing in S-rail forming.

Warm press forming of aluminum alloy sheets is quite attractive, since undesirable stretcher strain marks, which often appear on the surface of the sheets during cold press forming, will disappear at high temperature, and furthermore, some aluminum alloys exhibit high-temperature superplasticity at a certain forming speed. In order to determine the optimum condition of press forming for an aluminum alloy sheet, the effect of forming temperature on the yield locus was experimentally investigated. The yield locus for a fine-grain Al-Mg alloy (5083-O) sheet was obtained by performing biaxial tensile tests, using cruciform specimens, at temperatures of 30, 100, 170, 250 and 300 degreesC at strain rate of 10 s(-1). The size of yield locus drastically decreased with increasing temperature. Neither von Mises' criterion or Hill's can well predict the shape of the yield locus of this sheet metal. Instead of these quadratic yield functions, the yield criterion of Logan-Hosford or Barlat is a better choice for the accurate description of biaxial stress-strain responses at a high temperature.

This paper presents a constitutive model of plasticity that describes the cyclic stress-strain responses at large strain. A new equation of backstress evolution is proposed for an accurate simulation of the transient Bauschinger effect. An original idea of a non-isotropic-hardening surface defined in the stress space is presented for the description of the workhardening stagnation appearing under reverse deformation, as well as the strain-range and mean-strain dependencies of cyclic hardening characteristics. The validity of this model is confirmed by comparing the cyclic stress-strain responses calculated by the model with the experimental observations on two types of steel sheets (an aluminum-killed steel and a dual-phase high strength steel of 590 MPa tensile strength).

Elastic-plastic behavior of two types of steel sheets for press-forming (an aluminum-killed mild steel and a dual-phase high strength steel of 590 MPa ultimate tensile strength) under inplane cyclic tension-compression at large strain (up to 25% strain for mild steel and 13% for high strength steel) have been investigated. From the experiments, it was found that the cyclic hardening is strongly influenced by cyclic strain range and mean strain. Transient softening and workhardening stagnation due to the Bauschinger effect, as well as the decrease in Young's moduli with increasing prestrain, were also observed during stress reversals. Some important points in constitutive modeling for such large-strain cyclic elasto-plasticity are discussed by comparing the stress-strain responses calculated by typical constitutive models of mixed isotropic-kinematic hardening with the corresponding experimental observations.

The cyclic plasticity behavior of an anisotropic copper sheet metal was investigated by performing in-plane tension-compression experiments. In this copper sheet, the cyclic stress amplitude of a specimen of rolling direction is apparently larger than that of the transverse direction. In order to describe such anisotropic workhardening characteristics in cyclic plasticity, as well as the Bauschinger effect, the new version of Yoshida-Uemori model, which incorporates Gotoh's quadratic yield function of the orthotropic anisotropy, was employed. The cyclic stress-strain responses calculated by this model shows in good agreement with the experimental observations.

This paper demonstrates how strongly the analytical prediction of springback is influenced by the description of material's stress-strain responses appearing during stress reversal. For the finite element analysis of hat-bending and the subsequent springback, three different types of constitutive models, i.e., (a) isotropic hardening (IH) model, (b) linearly kinematic hardening (LKH) model, and (c) combined hardening (IH+LKH+non-linearly kinematic hardening [NLKH]) model, were employed. When using the combined hardening model, the calculated sheet geometries showed the excellent agreement with the experimental results, while the predictions by both the IH and LKH models underestimate the springback.

This paper presents the prediction of springback in sheet metal forming in terms of the description of the Bauschinger effect. It addresses three different types of constitutive models: an iso-tropic hardening model (IH model), a linearly kinematic hardening model (LK model), and a model of combined linearly-nonlinearly kinematic and isotropic hardening (L-NK+IH model). The springback predicted by the L-NK+IH model is found to be more pronounced than that by the III and the LK model. It is caused by the stress-strain response characterized by the gradual transition from fully elastic to plastic behavior during stress-reversal, which is essential to the L-NK+IH model.

The cyclic deformation behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet metal have been investigate in order to reveal the general material elasto-plastic behaviors related with its texture, such as Bauschinger effect and flow stress during stress reversal, by finite element analyses. To discuss these phenomena of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet at the room temperature to 200 degree [Celsius], the crystal plasticity material models, which can take into account the size effect of twined region proposed by Kitayama was introduced into the commercial finite element code. The calculated results by the applied model can describe moderately the corresponding experimental data at the room temperature to 200 degree.

Tensile tests were performed using plate specimens of self-reinforced polyethylene (SRPE) with short ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. The effect of fiber length on the properties was investigated. The specimens were made by hot-pressing the stacked HDPE films with short UHMWPE fibers distributed between each film at high temperature. The SRPE specimens showed much larger elastic modulus and tensile strength than monolithic HDPE specimens while their fracture took place at smaller strain than the monolithic HDPE specimens. Focusing on the effect of UHMWPE fibers, the specimens reinforced with longer fibers of 120 μm showed larger elastic modulus and tensile strength than those reinforced with shorter fibers of 60 μm. It was considered that the difference was attributed to the shearing force between fibers and matrix or pull-out force of fibers during tension taking into consideration the feet that lots of pulled-out fibers were observed on the fracture surface.

The elasto-plastic deformation behaviors of an IF steel sheet during stress path changes were investigated by performing nonproportional tension-compression tests. To evaluate the developed constitutive models in describing nonproportional deformation behaviors, numerical simulations of stress-strain responses were conducted for the same stress paths as the experiments. From the comparisons of experiment and calculations, it was found that the proposed constitutive model can describe well every deformation behaviors of an IF steel sheet during stress path changes.

Since aluminum alloy sheet metal have strong mechanical features such as low Yong's modulus, low ductility and strong initial anisotropy (high Lankford value), it remains one of the most difficult materials to predict the final shape of springback. In order to solve the problem, we applied the Yoshida-Uemori model for an aluminum alloy sheet metal s. In the present research, we have investigated the experimental Bauschinger effect and anisotropy of aluminum sheet metal. The calculated results show the great agreement with the corresponding experimental springback for aluminum alloy sheet. The efficiency of Yoshida-Uemori model for aluminum sheet metal is proved.

This paper presents a framework of constitutive modeling of large-strain cyclic plasticity which describes both the deformation-and texture-induced anisotropies of materials. In this model, the transient Bauschinger effect is described accurately by a new equation of the backstress evolution, and the strain-range and mean-strain dependencies of cyclic strain-hardening are expressed by a model of workhardening stagnation. For the description of texture-induced anisotropy, any of widely accepted yield criteria of orthotropic anisotropy is easily incorporated into this model.

This paper shows how the prediction of springback is influenced by the description of the Bauschinger effect in constitutive models. Constitutive models describing both the texture-induced anisotropy and the Bauschinger effect were derived on the basis of Hill's quadratic yield function and some kinematic hardening rules. Springback in V-bending was simulated by using the developed elastic-plastic finite element code incorporating three different types of constitutive models : (A) an isotropic hardening model, (B) a model of combined linearly kinematic hardning and isotropic hardening, (C) a model of combined linearly and non-linearly kinematic hardening and isotropic hardening. From the simulated results, it is concluded that the Bauschinger effect must be taken into account for the accurate prediction of the springback.

<p>Various mechanical components are subjected to random multiaxial vibration. For their safe and effective operation, it is essential to precisely evaluate the fatigue strength of the materials under multiaxial random vibration. However, the mechanisms and evaluation methods remain unclear. In this study, we performed the multiaxial random vibration experiments using aluminum alloy A5056 specimens in order to discuss a method for evaluating the vibration fatigue strength of materials. The multiaxial random vibration experiments were conducted at an acceleration input of 70 G_rms within a frequency band of 10–5000 Hz under a nitrogen gas environment at a room temperature. During the multiaxial random vibration experiments the strains of the specimen were measured using 3-axis and 1-axis strain gauges and the maximum principal strains and their directions of a fracture part were estimated. Based on the results, the method for evaluating the vibration fatigue strength of materials was discussed.</p>

In recent years, high-tensile steel sheets (hereafter HSS) have been widely used in car products in order to satisfy high collision safety and low fuel consumption. Owing to the high yield stress, it is still difficult to predict the final shapes of HSS by using commercial finite element codes. The improvement of prediction for wrinkling, fractures and spring back have been strongly demanded. In order to satisfy the demand, a new high order yield function (we call Yoshida 2012 yield function) was introduced into the ommercial finite element code Marc 2013 in the present research. The evaluation of this yield function was conducted. From the comparisons of experiment and its calculations, it is found that the accuracy of this yield function is quite well and spring back calculation by using this function also moderate.

It is one of the difficult problems to predict the final shape of automobile parts. In order to solve the problems, the great demands to the finite element an analysis have been needed. Especially, it demands for an accurate analysis for the multi-stamping procedures have been increasing. The present research proposes the accurate constitutive models which can deal with the stress-strain responses (the Buschinger effect and the cross effect) du ring stress path changes. The calculated results are compared with the corresponding experimental results. From the comparisons, we can conclude the developed constitutive model is effective to increase the accuracy of sheet stamping finite element calculations.
