Pre-strain Effect on Bendability in Three-point Bending Test
This study investigates the influence of pre-strain on the bendability of sheet metals, specifically focusing on a three-point bending test using the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman model. The research delves into the deformation behavior and fracture properties, particularly in AA5754 aluminum alloys, shedding light on how pre-strain impacts tensile and bending characteristics. The constitutive model utilized in the analysis provides insights into void volume fractions, stress tensors, and material behavior under bending conditions.

Study of Pre-strain Effect on Bendability in Three-point Bending Test Presented by: Mehdi Shahzamanian Co-authors: Amir Partovi Dr. Peidong Wu Department of Mechanical Engineering McMaster University August 27th, 2020
[1]. Introduction: Bending is an important deformation mode in many applications and it is important property in a range of applications and extensively used in the auto industry [1]. Three-point bending test Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model with considering growth and coalescence is used in [2, 3] to investigate the ductile fracture in bending test for sheet metals. In [4], the influence of pre-strain on the tensile and bending properties of AA5754 aluminum alloys is studied and it is found that fracture occurs early in both tests. [1] D.J. Lloyd, M.

Although the initial void volume fraction in the bending test is not significant, this small value has a significant effect on fracture strain. 6/8

[5]. Conclusion: The GTN model is able to simulate the three-point bending test and analyze the pre- strain value on bendability in a good agreement with experiment. The initial void volume fraction in bending test increases with increase of pre-strain value. Pre-strain is found to reduce maximum force in the bending test and cause early fracturing. The fracture strain decreases with increase of pre-strain value. 8/8
