Abstract
For the numerical description of the material behavior of sheet metals, there is a large diversity of models. These models vary strongly in terms of complexity and calibration effort. Before using a material model for numerical analyses, it is essential to validate it. The paper presents an innovative tool that allows generating a well-founded database for a comprehensive validation of the yield locus description with few and simple tests: the MUC-Test (Material Under Control). The special geometry of the punch and die generates complex strain distributions in sheet metal samples during forming. The experiment covers the strain range between uniaxial and equibiaxial tension. The contribution shows the potential of this innovative tool by using the test results of three different material classes. Using numerical analyses, sensitivities of different material model parameters were investigated. Thereby, the focus lies on the curvature of the yield locus in the area between uniaxial and equibiaxial stress state.
