Abstract
A combined experiment and multiscale modeling approach was presented to correlate the mechanical properties of a roll-bonded AA1050/AA3004 bimetal clad sheet and constituents. The mechanical responses of the 2-ply AA1050/AA3004 and constituents were measured under various loading conditions. For the measurements, each constituent was separated from the clad sheet using electrical discharge machining and uniaxial tensile tests. Continuum-scale yield functions such as isotropic von Mises and anisotropic/non-quadratic Yld2000-2d were developed for the two constituents and the bimetal clad sheet. A grain-scale crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) simulations were also performed incorporated with newly developed representative volume element considering measured microstructural attributes. These CPFE predictions were used to identify the anisotropy coefficients for Yld2000-2d. Using the identified yield functions, finite element modeling was followed in which the mechanical properties of each constituent sheet were addressed separately. This is a new approach developed in the current work and it enables a fundamental correlation between multilayered material and its constituents. The mechanical properties of the bimetal clad sheet under the uniaxial tensions were predicted using those of the constituents and compared with calculations based on known rule of mixture (ROM) approach. The two approaches well reproduced stress–strain curves and r–value evolutions. The two FE modeling approaches were also applied to an independent test (i.e., the limiting dome height). The predictions were in good agreement with the experimental data. Finally, the mechanical properties of the bimetal clad sheet and constituents were correlated, and proper modeling scheme for multilayered materials is proposed.
