Abstract

It was already stated that springback in sheet metal forming strongly depends on the elastic properties. Several experimental investigations have revealed that the elastic modulus decreases as the plastic strain increases. Two approaches have been separately employed to explain this phenomenon: dislocations rearrangements and damage. These approaches are considered in a proposed elastoplastic model coupled with damage based on Lemaitre type isotropic ductile damage law. In addition, a hysteresis aspect, which is experimentally observed during unloading-reloading stages, is also considered. Uniaxial tension tests have been used and the predicted results agree well with published experimental data. The proposed model is intended to be implemented in FEM codes for reliable results in forming processes including springback.
