In this paper, a true strain and stress relation for mild steel was obtained from a series of tensile experiments with specimens of different length-per-breadth ratios and used to simulate a plate punching experiment until fracture with the finite element method.
Abstract
This paper presents a true strain and stress relation for mild steel that is suitable for the implementation in finite element models. This true strain and stress relation is obtained from a series of tensile experiments with specimens of different length-per-breadth ratios. Unlike the engineering strain and stress relation, the true strain and stress relation is found to be independent of the specimen geometries tested. The use of optical measurements relates the true strain and stress to the finite element length because the strain reference length, being a function of the pixel size, is clearly defined. This true strain and stress relation is used to simulate a plate punching experiment until fracture with the finite element method. The measured element length-dependent failure strain is implemented as a constant strain failure criterion and its applicability is attained through the close triaxiality ranges at failure, both for the tensile and plate simulations.

On the failure criterion of aluminum and steel plates subjected to low-velocity impact by a spherical indenter

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical failure criterion is proposed to characterise ship plated structures manufactured with aluminum or steel materials subjected to low impact velocities, and the criterion considers the critical deflection, force and absorbed energy of plates laterally impacted by a hemispherical indenter, and assumes that failure occurs at the presence of necking.

The influence of the material relation on the accuracy of collision simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the material relation on the accuracy of numerical results is not presented in detail in the present literature even though different material relations are used, and this comparison can support the future use of an appropriate material relation for collision simulations.

Comparison of the implicit and explicit finite element methods using crystal plasticity

TL;DR: In this study, a rate-dependent crystal plasticity algorithm was developed for use with the explicit FE package, ABAQUS/explicit, and showed that, for simpler loading conditions, the implicit method had a shorter solution time, while the explicit method proved to be the preferable choice.

A new method for acquiring true stress–strain curves over a large range of strains using a tensile test and finite element method

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a method for acquiring true stress-strain curves over large range of strains using engineering tensile test coupled with a finite element analysis, and verified the validity of the approach by comparing tensile tests with finite element solutions obtained using a modified true stressstrain curve.
