Abstract

In this paper, experimental characterization of embossed aluminum sheets is performed using extensive mechanical tests. Rotary embossing is performed on these sheets in order to obtain a periodic hill-and-valley structure. The experimental program consists of realizing mechanical tests such as tension, deep drawing, and hydraulic bulge tests using embossed samples in order to build a database that can be used for future finite element modeling tasks. The tensile tests are performed using digital images correlation (DIC) for total displacement measurements and for detailed strain maps. The hydraulic bulge and deep drawing tests are conducted on embossed circular samples to study their formability. A comparison was made with the plane (non-embossed) sheets to explain the contribution of the embossed structure either in both cases of uniaxial and multiaxial loadings.
