Abstract
AbstractThis paper deals with experiments and numerical simulations for reverse uniaxial tension‐compression and shear tests to investigate the ductile damage and fracture behavior of the aluminum alloy EN‐AW 6082‐T6. For this purpose, experiments with different loading sequences and number of loading cycles with uniaxial tensile and new shear specimens have been performed. Furthermore, the digital image correlation (DIC) technique captures the deformations and strain fields during the experimental processes. A modified anisotropic stress‐state‐dependent elastic‐plastic‐damage continuum model is proposed and is validated by experimental strain fields measured by DIC. Moreover, numerically predicted distributions of the principal damage strains are compared with fracture images taken by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
