In this paper, the relationship between anisotropic mechanical properties and the
corresponding microstructure evolution of wrought magnesium alloys is critically reviewed …

The usage of dual-phase (DP) steels in the production of laser-welded blanks in the
automotive industry is of critical importance to the progression of passenger safety and …

Plasticity theory aims at describing the yield loci and work hardening of a material under
general deformation states. Most of its complexity arises from the nontrivial dependence of …

The mathematical description of elastoplasticity is a highly complex problem due to the
possible change from elastic to elasto-plastic behavior (and vice-versa) as a function of the …

For purposes of this review, springback is the elastically driven change of shape of a metal
sheet during unloading and following forming. Scientific advances related to this topic have …

Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels, as one of the third-generation advanced high
strength steels, exhibit complex anisotropic hardening behavior under biaxial non …

Lightweight sheet metals are attractive for aerospace and automotive applications due to
their exceptional properties, such as low density and high strength. Sheet metal forming …

High strength aluminum alloys have drawn much attention as the requirement for lightweight
vehicle design increases in the automotive industry. However, inferior formability due to …

This paper reviews the most recent models for description of the anisotropic plastic behavior
and formability of sheet metals. After a brief review of classic isotropic yield functions, recent …

This paper proposes a yield function to model sheet metal strength between shear and
plane strain tension. The function is expressed as an equation of the three stress invariants …
