Study of Anisotropic Behavior in Sheet Metal Forming.

Since sheet metal exhibits significant anisotropy in processing and forming, which has a significant impact on its performance during processing, forming, and use, we explore the anisotropic behavior of materials in the forming process of sheet metal. The ability of the Yld2000-2d criterion to describe anisotropic behavior is analyzed, and its accuracy for characterization of the anisotropic behavior of metal plates is improved, based on which anisotropic behavior is predicted in three-dimensional space. Theoretical and experimental results on the anisotropy of sheet metal are compared, and two materials, 5754O aluminum alloy and DP980 steel plate, are tested and analyzed, and the anisotropic behaviors, such as three-point bending and cylindrical deep-drawing, are well predicted.
