Calibration of anisotropic yield criterion with conventional tests or biaxial test

Bron and Besson yield criterion has been used to model the plastic anisotropic behavior of an aluminum alloy series 5000. The parameters of this anisotropic yield model have been identified by two different methods: a classical one, considering several homogeneous conventional experiments and an exploratory one, with only one biaxial test. On one hand, the parameter identification with conventional experiments has been carried out with uniaxial tensile and simple shear tests in different orientations to the rolling direction and with a hydraulic bulge test, all of them considered at three equivalent plastic strain levels. On the other hand, Bron and Besson yield function has also been calibrated with inverse analysis from only a cross biaxial tensile test, since it was shown that the strain distribution in the center of the cruciform specimen is significantly dependent on the yield criterion. The principal strains along a specified path in the gauge area of the cruciform specimen have been analyzed and the gap between experimental and numerical values was minimized. Finally the yield contours obtained with the two methods have been compared and discussed.
