This study focuses on the effects of different constitutive models in sheet metal forming operations by considering the cylindrical and square cup drawing and V-bending simulations. Simulations are performed using eight different constitutive models; elastic plastic constitutive model with isotropic hardening, elastic plastic constitutive model with kinematic hardening, elastic plastic constitutive model with combined hardening, power law isotropic plasticity, piecewise linear isotropic plasticity, Barlatthree-parameter, cyclic elastoplastic and Hill’48 model.The numerical analyses are accomplished by using three different 1 mm thick sheet materials; St12 steel, Al-5182 aluminum and stainless steel 409 Ni. An explicit finite element code is used in the simulations. For square cup drawing, three different blank holder forces; 2 kN, 4 kN and 5 kN are considered for St12 steel, whereas only 5 kN blank holder force is applied for stainless steel 409 Ni and Al-5182 aluminum. A number of experiments are carried out and analytical calculations are utilized to evaluate the results of simulations. In cylindrical cup drawing, simulation results of different constitutive models show good agreement with analytical calculations for thickness strain and effective stress distributions. In square cup drawing, simulation results of all the models displayed good agreement with the experimental results for edge contour comparisons, although the distributions of effective stress vary for different models within the cup. The numerically and experimentally obtained springback amounts are also in good agreement. The simulation results obtained for piecewise linear isotropic plasticity and power law isotropic plasticity models show better agreement with the analytical solutions and experiments.

The effects of different constitutive models in sheet metal forming are investigated by considering the cylindrical and square cup drawing and V-bending processes. Numerical analyses are performed by employing eight different constitutive models. These are elastic plastic constitutive model with isotropic hardening, elastic plastic constitutive model with kinematic hardening, elastic plastic constitutive model with combined hardening, power law isotropic plasticity, piecewise linear isotropic plasticity, th...
Effect of swaging on microstructure and tensile properties of W-Ni-Fe alloys
DURLU, NURİ; Caliskan, N. Kaan; Bor, Sakir (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of swaging on the microstructure and tensile properties of high density two phase alloys 90W-7Ni-3Fe and 93W-4.9Ni-2.1Fe. Samples were liquid phase sintered under hydrogen and argon at 1480 degrees C for 30 min and then 15% cold rotary swaged. Measurement of microstructural parameters in the sintered and swaged samples showed that swaging slightly increased tungsten grain size in the longitudinal direction and slightly decreased tungsten grain size i...
Effect of hardening models on different ductile fracture criteria in sheet metal forming
Dizaji, Shahram Abbasnejad; Darendeliler, Haluk; KAFTANOĞLU, BİLGİN (2016-07-01)
Prediction of the fracture is one of the challenging issues which gains attention in sheet metal forming as numerical analyses are being extensively used to simulate the process. To have better results in predicting the sheet metal fracture, appropriate ductile fracture criterion (DFC), yield criterion and hardening rule should be chosen. In this study, the effects of different hardening models namely isotropic, kinematic and combined hardening rules on the various uncoupled ductile fracture criteria are in...
Determining surface residual stress in steel sheets after deep drawing and bulging processes
Adıgüzel, Sinem; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Karadoğan, Celalettin; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of bulging and deep drawing processes on St4 cold rolled steel by simulation and experimental characterization. In the simulations, commercial software programs MSC Marc and Simufact.forming were used. The experimental studies cover metallographic investigations, hardness measurements, and residual stress measurements. Residual stress measurements were carried out by different non- destructive characterization methods; X-ray diffraction and Magnetic Barkh...
EFFECT OF AGING ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF Al-8Si-8Fe-1.4V/SiCp COMPOSITES
Essari, A.; Sariuglo, F.; Petrovic, Z.; Sedmak, A.; Samardzic, I. (2016-01-01)
In this study, Al-8Fe-8Si-1.4V/SiCp composites fabricated by squeeze casting process were age-hardened to study the influence of heat treatment on mechanical properties, such as hardness, bending strength and modulus of elasticity. The cast samples were solid soluted at 540 degrees C for one hour, then quenched in water to room temperature, and finally aged at 190 degrees C for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours for hardness test and at 195 degrees C for 2, 6 and 10 hours for bending strength determination.
