Abstract

ABSTRACT In this study, anisotropic non-proportional hardening behaviour of the sheet metals with different crystalline structures is investigated. The investigated materials particularly exhibit the Bauschinger effect and complex transient hardening behaviour during loading path change. Furthermore, the finite element simulations are carried out to evaluate the performance of the distortional and multi-surface-kinematic hardening models in flow stress prediction under loading path change. Both models can well reproduce the measured anisotropic hardening, but the distortional hardening concept shows better predictive capability for flow stresses. The improved accuracy of the flow stress prediction with the distortional hardening model compared to the kinematic hardening is attributed to its flexibility in distortion of the yield surface following microstructure deviator independent on the initial yield surface. In contrast, the initial size of the yield surface in the kinematic hardening significantly affects the determination of the re-yielding stress at load reversal.
