Abstract

A VUMAT user material subroutine for the Lemaitre continuous damage mechanics model was developed based on the finite element solver ABAQUS/Explicit platform to investigate the deformation and failure behavior of 5052 aluminum alloy. The mechanical property parameters and damage parameters of 5052 aluminum alloy were identified by the inversion method combining tensile test and finite element simulation. The numerical simulation results showed that the force-displacement curves predicted by the established damage model were in good agreement with the experimental measurement, and the fracture location was close to the experimental results, which verified the accuracy and effectiveness of the damage parameters. The growth and distribution law of damage variable could be intuitively represented by the simulation results by the Lemaitre damage model.
