Abstract
In the current work, a continuum-based approach is discussed in order to describe the plastic hardening behavior of magnesium alloy sheets under strain path changes at warm forming temperature. The constitutive model is represented to use an anisotropic distortional yield function combining a stable component and a fluctuating component. The stable component includes the yield function that represents the material’s anisotropy or the strength effect between tension and compression. The evolution of the fluctuating component is reformulated based on recently developed HCP metal’s distortional hardening model at room temperature. The modified models were implemented into finite element (FE) software via user-material subroutine. Predicted stress-strain curves of tension-compression-tension (TCT) and compression-tension-compression (CTC) loadings for two pre-strains were compared with experimental results. Overall, the proposed model could give reliable agreement with experimental data.
