Abstract
According to several experiments reported in the literature, the elastoplastic behaviour of metals depends not only on the first stress invariant (triaxiality) for the ductile damage and on the second stress invariant (equivalent von Mises stress) for the yield, but also on the third stress invariant (normalized Lode angle X) which may affect at the same time the yielding and the ductile failure.In this paper a new yield model is presented, where the yield surface depends on the Lode Angle and, eventually, also on the triaxiality ratio.The proposed model is identified by a calibration parameter expressing the degree of nonlinearity of the yield with respect to the Lode angle, and a calibration function expressing the maximum variability of the hardening stress at the two extremities of the Lode angle range, corresponding to the uniaxial and to the pure shear stress states.The proposed model has been tested against several experimental data from the literature on the Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, including mixed tension-torsion loading which allowed to control the evolution of X and to confine its values into different narrow ranges for better investigating the Lode angle effects on the yield response.
