Abstract
This work presents an elastoplastic characterization of a rolled C11000-H2 99.90% pure copper sheet considering the orthotropic non-associated Hill-48 criterion together with a modified Voce hardening law. One of the main features of this material is the necking formation at small strains levels causing the early development of non-homogeneous stress and strain patterns in the tested samples. Due to this fact, a robust inverse calibration approach, based on an experimental–analytical–numerical iterative predictor–corrector methodology, is proposed to obtain the constitutive material parameters. This fitting procedure, which uses tensile test measurements where the strains are obtained via digital image correlation (DIC), consists of three steps aimed at, respectively, determining (a) the parameters of the hardening model, (b) a first prediction of the Hill-48 parameters based on the Lankford coefficients and, (c) corrected parameters of the yield and flow potential functions that minimize the experimental–numerical error of the material response. Finally, this study shows that the mechanical characterization carried out in this context is capable of adequately predicting the behavior of the material in the bulge test.

The aim of this work is the mechanical characterization of the large strain elastoplastic response of a rolled C11000-H2 99.90% pure copper sheet by means of the orthotropic non-associated Hill-48 criterion considering a modified Voce hardening law
The material used in this work is a 0.5 mm thick rolled C11000-H2 99.90% pure copper sheet
Summary
In the sheet metal forming industry, the creation of new parts is common for various devices such as, e.g., containers, pots, radiator components, cooling fins, and conductors These parts have intricate geometries and/or low dimensional tolerances and, the design of the forming process is fundamental for manufacturing a good quality component. The analysis of these processes is nowadays routinely tackled via numerical simulation using the finite element method [1,2,3,4] In this context, an accurate elastoplastic modeling of the forming material is required in order to achieve an adequate description of its response during the deformation stages [2].
