Abstract
An advanced yield criterion plays a central role in rate-independent plasticity modeling of sheet metals in automotive and other industrial applications. Different from many non-quadratic yield criteria based on implicit polynomials, Vegter yield criterion is piecewise and quadratic as it is originally constructed by interpolation of several biaxial stress states using multiple second-order Bézier curves. Additional efforts in recent years have made Vetger yield criterion more user-friendly, flexible and robust for sheet metal forming applications. Nevertheless, Vetger yield criterion has only been presented in its parametric formulation in the literature. This work describes a method of reformulating the existing Vetger Lite yield criterion into the implicit form that is more commonly used in the conventional sheet metal plasticity modeling. The potential benefits of using both the original parametric and the new implicit forms of Vegter yield criterion for material parameter calibration, convexity certification, and computational simulations are discussed.
