Abstract

The recent development of new lightweight sheet metal materials, like advanced high-strength steels or aluminium alloys, in combination with an increasing component complexity provides new challenges to the numerical material modelling in the FEM based process design. An auspicious approach to improve the quality of the numerical results – most notably in springback analysis – is the modelling of the so called Bauschinger effect achieved through implementation of kinematic hardening models. Within this paper the influence of the stress state and the level of pre-strain on the numerical simulation result of the advanced high strength steel DP-K45/78+Z will be analysed. For this purpose, a parameter identification of the kinematic hardening law according to Chaboche and Rousselier is performed at different pre-strains on the basis of experimental data from tension-compression tests as well as cyclic shear tests. Finally, the identified parameters are validated in a comparison between numerical and experimental results of a cyclic bending test.
