Abstract

The widespread Von Mises plasticity model fails to take the hydrostatic and the Lode angle effects into account and the assumption of this model is not valid for all types of metallic alloys. Hence in the present work the applicability of the Von Mises plasticity model in applications on a Ti-6Al-4V Titanium alloy have been analysed. A virtual test methodology, combination of experiments and numerical analysis have been developed. For this purpose various tensile tests on different specimen shapes have been carried out experimentally. These tests have been subsequently numerically reproduced to calibrate a constitutive law which fits every single test best, highlighting the possible effect of triaxiality and Lode angle on plasticity (strain hardening behaviour). An analysis of the specimen fracture surfaces have been carried out to evaluate possible effect of triaxiality and Lode angle down to a microscopic level.
