Ductile Failure Predictions for the Three-Point Bending Test of a Complex Geometry Made From Aluminum Alloy

Ductile Failure Predictions for the Three-Point Bending Test of a Complex Geometry Made From Aluminum Alloy

WoS Article

The ductile failure predictions have been an issue in many engineering applications. It begins with a design of machines and tools, continues with an evaluation of manufacturing processes, and last but not least ends with the assessment of various structures. The paper deals with a predictability of used criteria for a random structure of aluminum alloy 2024-T351, which was performed under the conditions of room temperature three-point bending. The bi-failure mode creates a space for the numerical studies of various approaches and gives an insight into the model performance. The plasticity was described by Lode-dependent yield criterion, which was coupled with several pressure and Lode-dependent fracture models to form a continuum damage mechanics approach via the material weakening. It was incorporated through a nonlinear damage accumulation, which was finally implemented using Fortran 77 subroutine into ABAQUS/EXPLICIT. All the models exhibited a good ability of crack onset prediction in terms of the force responses and realistic predictability of the crack propagation. The field of deformations was successfully compared with experimental data obtained by an optical method.
