金属薄板面内压剪变形的损伤断裂行为

Damage and fracture behavior of a metal sheet under in-plane compression -sheardeformation

相变诱导塑性钢(TRansformation induced plasticity,TRIP)作为常用的先进高强钢在汽车等交通工具的轻量化方面有广泛的应用前景.而对于其复杂零件的成形过程,韧性断裂是不可忽视的问题之一.本文针对现有实验装置不易诱发薄板承受面内压剪时断裂失效,从而无法研究板料负应力三轴度区间断裂行为的问题,以高强钢TRIP800薄板为研究对象,设计了可在单向试验机完成压剪实验的试样和夹具.通过调整夹具旋转角度和试样装夹位置可以实现同一种试样在广泛的负应力三轴度范围内进行压剪断裂分析.基于ABAQUS/Explicit平台建立了三个典型加载方向20°、30°和45°对应的压剪过程有限元模型,分析表明:三种情况的试样局部变形区域的应力三轴度都小于0且断裂点的应力三轴度低至−0.485,验证了设计的装置可实现负应力三轴度区间的断裂失效分析,同时基于MMC断裂准则分析了不同应力状态的初始损伤情况及损伤扩展路径.

Increasing demands for lightweight manufacturing accelerate the application of lightweight materials in the transportation,aviation,and power industries.High-strength steel is a popular candidate among various lightweight materials.Transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP)steel,a high-strength,lightweight steel,is promising for forming processes owing to its high strength and toughness.However,the increase in the flow strength of metals will create big challenges for material formability and fracture issues for manufacturing processes.Ductile fracture is still the main failure form during the forming process of TRIP steel.Sheet metal is subject to complex stress states when it undergoes diverse loading paths.Failure modes in metal forming can be mainly classified into the following:tensile,compression,shear,tensile–shear,and compression–shear.Because the metal sheet is prone to buckling failure when it undergoes in-plane compression–shear deformation,it is difficult to induce fracture during the corresponding negative stress triaxiality range.To solve this issue,a novel experimental setup and a specimen were designed to analyze fracture behaviors of an advanced high-strength steel TRIP800 sheet.For the same specimen,the failure behaviors of diverse stress states could be achieved by adjusting the angles between the loading direction and specimen positions.The parallel numerical simulations of in-plane compression –shear deformations under three typical loading angles of 20°, 30°, and 45° were performed on the ABAQUS/Explicitplatform. The predicted stress triaxiality in the local deformation region of the three cases was less than zero, and the lowest was up to−0.485, which verifies that the fracture failure analysis of negative stress triaxiality range could be realized with the designed device. Inaddition, the fracture onset information and damage evolution were analyzed based on the modified Mohr–Coulomb (MMC) fracturecriterion. Furthermore, the fracture strain at the fracture point decreased with the decrease in stress triaxiality when the stress triaxialitywas less than −1/3.
