Abstract

The forming limit diagram (FLD) and forming limit stress diagram (FLSD) of aluminium alloy 1060 under linear and nonlinear strain paths are investigated. The calculation of FLSD is based on experimental FLD using the method proposed by Stoughton. Different from the FLD that varies with the strain path, the FLSD is not sensitive to the strain path. Therefore, FLSD is convenient as a forming limit criterion for multi-stage sheet forming. The influences of the material's yield criteria on FLSD are also discussed by comparison of the Hill's 48, Hill's 79 and Hosford non-quadratic criterion. The impacts of material hardening laws (Voce and Swift models) on translation of FLD and FLSD are analyzed. The Voce hardening law and the Hosford yield criterion are appropriate for the FLSD calculation of the aluminium alloy 1060. The stress calculation program and display interfaces of FLD and FLSD are developed on MATLAB, where the strain data can be input from experiment measurement or FEM calculations.
