Abstract
Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) are increasingly used in automotive industry due to their superior strength and substantial weight advantage. However, their compromised ductility gives rise to numerous manufacturing issues. One of them is the so-called ‘shear fracture’ often observed on tight radii during stamping processes. Since traditional approaches, such as the Forming Limit Diagram (FLD), are unable to predict this type of fractures, great efforts have been made to develop failure criteria that could predict shear fractures. In this paper, a recently developed Modified Mohr–Coulomb (MMC) ductile fracture criterion (Bai and Wierzbicki, 2010) is adopted to analyze the failure behavior of a Dual Phase (DP) steel sheet during stretch-bending operations. The plasticity and ductile fracture of the present sheet are fully characterized by a Hill’48 orthotropic model and a MMC fracture model, respectively. Finite element models with three different element types (3D, shell and plane strain) were built for a Stretch Forming Simulator (SFS) test (Shih and Shi, 2008), numerical simulations with four different R/t values (die radius normalized by sheet thickness) were performed. It has been shown that the 3D and shell element simulations can predict failure location/mode, the upper die load–displacement responses as well as wall stress and wrap angle at the onset of fracture for all R/t values with good accuracy. Furthermore, a series of parametric studies were conducted on the 3D element model, and the effect of tension level (clamping distance), tooling friction, mesh size and fracture locus on failure modes and load–displacement responses were investigated.
