TL;DR: In this article, a plane stress yield function that well describes the anisotropic behavior of sheet metals, in particular, aluminum alloy sheets, was proposed, which was introduced in the formulation using two linear transformations on the Cauchy stress tensor.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new six-component yield surface description for orthotropic materials is developed, which has the advantage of being relatively simple mathematically and yet is consistent with yield surfaces computed with polycrystal plasticity models.

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized phenomenological yield description is proposed to account for the behavior of the solute strengthened aluminum alloy sheets studied in this work and the experimental yield surfaces were found to be in good agreement with the polycrystal predictions for all materials and with the phenomenological predictions for most materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, yield surfaces for binary aluminum-magnesium sheet samples were measured using biaxial compression tests on cubic specimens made from laminated sheet samples, and the yield surfaces were also predicted from a polycrystal model using crystallographic texture data as input and from a phenomenological yield function proposed previously.

TL;DR: In this article, the average dislocation mean free paths at a strain of 0.5 were compared with TEM observations of dislocation cell sizes or inter-dislocation spacing for specimens deformed equal biaxially with the hydraulic bulge test.
