Aluminium alloys are being increasingly utilised in the automotive and aerospace industries
to reduce the weight of vehicles. Extensive research has been conducted to overcome the …

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

Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling is a powerful and well established computational materials
science tool to investigate mechanical structure–property relations in crystalline materials. It …

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 …

Sheet metal experiences various stress states during plastic deformation, including uniaxial
compression, shear, uniaxial, plane strain and equibiaxial tension, but the existing yield …

Classical metal plasticity theory assumes that the hydrostatic pressure has no or negligible
effect on the material strain hardening, and that the flow stress is independent of the third …

A new plane stress yield function that well describes the anisotropic behavior of sheet
metals, in particular, aluminum alloy sheets, was proposed. The anisotropy of the function …

A ductile fracture model is proposed to describe shear fracture of sheet metals from shear to
balanced biaxial tension via uniaxial and plane strain tension. The fracture criterion models …

In this paper, anisotropic yield functions based on linear transformations of the stress
deviator are discussed in general terms. Two specific convex formulations are proposed to …

The past 20 years have seen substantial work on the modeling of ductile damage and
fracture. Several factors explain this interest.(i) There is a growing demand to provide tools …
